Friends,
Where do you host your websites? I want to put new work up, and I let my domain name expire after 3 years because I’m a doofus. Also, Godaddy can get bent.
There’s been a lot of this lately. I’ve been taking a beginner’s sewing class at Lillstreet and finally learning how to sew properly. I’m sad I waited 25 years.
When LATITUDE was about 6 months younger, Justin Teichen and I went around Chicago and asked active photographers about their needs of facility when it comes to production and continuing to develop their work. We were especially curious about the plans for those that are soon losing school lab access after graduation or teachers who only get access to work during their semesters.
Hear their answers for yourself in this video, but I think it would also be cool to help us help them (our IndieGoGo campaign has 9 days left):
HELP LATITUDE OPEN ITS DOORS BY DONATING HERE
Don’t have money? Reblog/Share this, we need your help.
yes. can’t wait for my latitude tote bag y’all.
I still have copies of Boys From the Internet That Have Broken My Heart, just sayin’.
For the last 11 months, I’ve been working with a solid team of people to build an open digital lab for Chicago: LATITUDE - a place where artists can continue making their work in digital media without emptying their bank accounts to buy a printer, scanner, etc. This hands on opportunity for Chicago photographic artists to physically make their own work (using their hands/brains) in a public space using the highest quality equipment has not yet existed in this city.
We’re anxious and excited to open our doors and thoroughly introduce LATITUDE and Chicago to one another. However, to make this project completely open to the public, we need a good amount of financial help.
Our IndieGoGo campaign is underway and we have a long way to go, I hope you will consider contributing or if you can’t afford to, sharing the campaign on your social network pages would be a huge way to help that doesn’t cost money.
Our reward options are pretty amazing. To name a few: gift discounts for membership, I’ve got a print up in there (shown above) along with so many other amazing photographs, as well as the unique T-shirt that you’ll only find available through our IndieGoGo campaign: “That’s not archival, bro.” designed by Zach Abubeker.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP US OUT CLICK HERE TO CONTRIBUTE OR SHARE OUR CAMPAIGN PAGE!
Thank you!
Great things, etc.
