The Beginning

For the longest time i couldn't think of a damn thing I wanted to do with this whole blog idea. I tried a couple things and they didn't really fly. But today, it hit me. So gather round guys and gals, dykes and fags, trannies, queens, queers, heteros, halfies, and everyone in between. This is what we're gonna do.

Yes, I said WE. Because I'm not doing this alone. I need your help and participation to make this idea a success. So, here's the plan:

I want pictures. I want to take pictures. And I want to receive pictures. Of what, you may ask. Curious little bugger, aren't you? I want pictures of people. All kinds of people. All sorts of people. And this is what I want the people to do.

I'd like a picture, portrait style, of a person (hopefully you) holding a piece of paper, notebook, sign, poster, or whatever you can get your hands on. On that pallet, I want a statement about yourselves. Something honest, something true, or just something you feel like screaming to the world. Make it creative, make it naughty, I don't care. Have fun with it.

I'll provide a couple of models for ideas (I enjoy harassing my friends to partake in my creative interests) and post them over the next couple weeks. I'm hoping that this will catch on, and you'll want to play along. So, find me on campus, stalk me at home, and I shall take your picture with your little billboard. ORRRRR clickity-click the email available [see the sidebar to the right] and send your very own portrait-style picture with a statement that YOU want to make. Nobody else can say it for you. So go ahead.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.
