Putting a face to the name
Well, here it is, the project for 2013 and beyond…
An idea that I have been mulling over for almost 12 months now, I can finally get the ball rolling.
“Putting a face to the name”
What is it?
Well quite simply it is an idea to remember those members of the British Forces that have been killed whilst on operations in Afghanistan. A non-political remembrance. This project is not meant to be a support for the conflict (as that is political), but simply support for our troops.
How many of us can name any of the 438 British forces that have died in Afghanistan?
Now try to name as many famous people that have died in the last 12 months?
This is the premise of this project, to find a personality that is well know to represent each and every member of the Armed forces that have been killed in Afghanistan by means of a portrait. Once complete (no mean feat), the resulting exhibition may well be coinciding with 11Nov as part of the national remembrance.
Did I say just how ambitious this project is? I am under no illusions here. This is going to take a massive amount of support and help. I have already begun recruiting.
I am not planning the end state yet as this will have to remain organic and hopefully pick up some high profile supporters to put some wind in the sails. That said if anyone thinks they can help or has any contacts of people who you think may be what we are looking for I am asking them to email me privately on LIMEfotographic@Hotmail.com
I have also created a new blog solely for the new project.
This is where most of the updates will be placed, so follow that blog if you want to keep in touch.
Well that is that, a project that I have been so excited about is finally on the move. I only hope that it turns out to be even a fraction of what I hope for.
The long journey has to start with the first step and sometimes this first step is the hardest…
Here is to the journey, I hope you can stay with me on it…
