1000 journals

yesterday i went to the sf moma during lunch. i was able to see the 1000 journals project. it was pretty amazing.

this is how it started:

"I've always been fascinated by what people scrawl on bathroom walls and in public spaces. I had been taking photographs of this writing for years, and wanted to put together a book. It seemed appropriate to encourage readers to become contributors, and join the conversation by writing in the actual book. From there, I decided that a blank book might be more fun... especially one that traveled around, to gather a variety of thoughts and opinions. And then, why not 1000 of them? It's such an absurd number."
at the moma they have some of the journals and i was able to be a part of it and write in one of them and leave my mark. so i decided to do the same with my four of my closest friends. we all live in different parts of california except for one in wisconsin. since we never get to see each other i thought passing this journal around to each other would be the perfect way to keep involved in each other's lives. they are all very creative people and i'm excited to see how it turns out. i'll make sure and post pics of a few of the pages that we create.

try it out. rediscover your creativity.
