Chance: The drop of a Bingo Ball defines the exact hour and the place for 24 Photographers. Their assignment, to bring to light, San Francisco as they see it. Each of the 24 Photographers has signed a Covenant, promising NO staging and NO Post Processing of the images. This project will unearth the rich culture and diversity that makes San Francisco one of the most vibrant cosmopolitan cities in t
he United States. This will NOT be a sanitized, highly polished version of what outsiders believe San Francisco should appear as, but a documentary photo journal of what San Francisco factually is. Because this project is a collaborative effort emphasizing the individual photographer, full creative license will be granted with respect to artistic choice of subject, composition, lighting, etc. Each photographer will have two pages dedicated to their images; one page will feature a single image of their choice, along with an essay. The adjoining page will be of the 24 images in a collage, designed entirely by the photographer. The Covenant detailing the above essential elements will be signed by each of the 24 photographers and featured in the preface of the print books. Project 24 will come alive with a a photo book, archival quality prints, gallery show and e-book.
