You are probably wondering why it took me so long to get to this post.
Life.
Travel.
Back to School.
You know how it goes.
Still, I wanted to post some photos from the actual journals. The Roxie in SF showed the 1000 Journals movie. It was the first commercial showing in the country.
The 1000 Journals project is coming to the SFMOMA as an exhibit starting in November and the exhibit will be open through ~ April 2009.
I think that the images I was able to snap are from the most photographed journals (because they are in possession of Someguy), but I thought I would post some images anyway.
Some entries are homages. Some entries look like a mess, but that is one of the beauties of the project: everyone can express themselves anyway they want regardless of age or ability.
The artistry of some of the pages is remarkable.
I like the way these entries were created in landscape format.
WARNING: Political images next. Stop reading if you may be offended.
I am not exactly sure what these images are saying (remember the journals went out right around the time of 9/11 so there is a lot of 9/11 imagery included), but I admire the creativity and thoughtfulness (especially the double entendre) regardless of whether you think it is positive or not.
a very interesting project, and a great chance to appreciate others creativity regardless of the content…
Thanks so much for reading! Your comment is right on! It is a great opportunity to appreciate the wide variety of creativity regardless of the content. I love the way you put that. Perfect!
