project 6 update...

Hello My Hometown-ers!
We’re writing from Lens to check in and see how things are going on the project you've all undertaken. We hope you or your students are having fun shooting.
A few things: we wanted to let you know that we've extended the submission deadline for photographs until May 7th. This gives you all a few extra days to shoot, edit and upload. As a reminder, the site to upload your photographs to is: http://submit.nytimes.com/lens-my-hometown.
We'd also like to emphasize that we're particularly interested in seeing pictures of the people who make up your communities. While we're curious to see what the towns themselves look like, we’re even more interested in the people that live there. Who works inside the town buildings? Lives in the homes? Who are the people in the streets?
As always, please let us know if you have any questions along the way. We can’t wait to see your photographs!

photo project VI - MY HOMETOWN

http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/20/my-hometown-teenagers-document-america/


Thank you for inquiring about The New York Times Lens Blog project, "My Hometown."
We intend it to be a document of 21st century America, as seen through the eyes of high school students. We are asking high school and community-based photography programs to have their students photograph their community. The images will appear in an interactive web feature on the Lens Blog and will be archived in the Library of Congress. You can find more details at the initial Lens post on “My Hometown.”
The project was inspired by our belief in the power of photography as an educational tool, and by a desire to help young people communicate the way they see their lives and their communities.
While each class, and each student, will only be photographing their respective communities, together we can create an important and lasting document of America today as seen by teenagers.
For this to work, we need photography students who represent a cross-section of America — we need to include every region and  young people from every economic and cultural background. Every student will have a meaningful role. Most importantly, we need teachers who will challenge and motivate their students to  seriously document their communities.
We're betting that your students will be able to teach us something about the world they live in.
What do you need to do to participate in “My Hometown?” It's pretty simple:
1) Notify us by email that you wish for your class or program to participate. It's informal, but we'd like to know where we will be getting photos from.  Write a few sentences describing your school and program and your community.
2) Have your students document the community they live in. The more time they spend, the more successful the resulting document will be.
3) Assist them in editing, captioning and uploading — no more than four images from each student. Please upload to our submission site before May 1st.
We will send more submission details once you’ve confirmed your participation. Adequate captioning is especially important because the photos, when published, will be sortable by location and by subject matter.
Please keep digital post-processing to a minimum.  Students may use any kind of camera they please, but the images will need to be submitted as jpegs.
What types of photos are we looking for? Documentary images, portraits, details and landscapes — everything. We want to see what  your students want to show us about where they are growing up.
We are purposely making a broad request because you — and your students — are the best judges of how to portray your community.
We hope that your students look carefully at their community, thinking about who, and what, is most important to them.
Our rights request is minimal. We want to be able to post the photographs on the Lens blog and on nytimes.com, and possibly use them in the newspaper. The only other request is to allow the photographs to be archived under an arrangement with the Library of Congress.
I hope you can join us in creating this portrait of America as seen by teenagers.
Best,
James Estrin
