When we say photographer we mean it in the loosest sense of the word. If you have a camera of any description (including camera phones) you’re a photographer.  Note; you need to have physical copies of the photos so make sure you have the software or capabilities to do this.

How many photographers can take part in each project?

A minimum of two and to make the project manageable we recommend no more than 5

How many locations should I choose on my map?

In order to make the project manageable we recommend no more than 10 individual locations within any map, however theoretically no limit.

Do I have to take all my photos in the same day?

Whether you are creating the map or following it you have no obligation to do the whole thing in 24 hours, you may choose to take several days or weeks.

How do I combine the images?

The important thing is create layers which can be lifted to reveal the images below the images can be fastened with staples or string or anything else that achieves the effect of layers.  Images shouldn’t just be stuck on top of each other. However the method you choose is entirely up to your imagination.  Look at some examples in previous projects

How do I add posts or projects to the blog?

If you have an idea for a map and have other photographer(s) willing to take part in your project just set up a wordpress account, get in touch with me at seb.sussmann@gmail.com and I will add you as a contributor to the blog.

How do I post a map on the blog?

If you are using an ordinance survey map and/or working in an area that isn’t covered by Google maps scan it in and post it as a picture.  If you’re working in a city we’d prefer it if you created a personal map with Google maps and posted a link

So without further ado here is the structure;

One map of a city or part of a city/location/town/village etc.

One photographer takes the map, wanders round the city or area demarcated by that map and takes pictures, being careful to mark on the map the LOCATION, DIRECTION and TIME which the picture was taken.

The photographer publishes or distributes the map to other photographer(s) in the project’s team.

The photographer(s) then take the map and follow it by matching the locations, directions and times as closely as possible.

Note, there are no restrictions in terms of type of camera, type of lens, length of exposure or indeed anything do with photographing the location apart from LOCATION, DIRECTION and TIME. One member could use an 8×10 view camera, another a camera phone and another a holga. Or everyone could use digital SLR’s etc.. In our project we used a 5×4 view camera and a 35mm camera.

It is important that no photographer in the team looks at any of the photographs of the other members, before they have taken the photos themselves

Once all photographers in the team have followed the map and taken the photographs they must decide together on a common size for printing the images. They can be printed in any way you please, but they must be the same size.

Make sufficient copies of each image-location to distribute to each participating photographer.

Then each photographer creates a combination of each participating photograph for each location, So if there are 5 photographers and 10 locations each photographer will start with 50 original images and end up with 10 original combinations. These combinations must be stuck together in such a way that you can lift individual layers to view others

Together 5 photographers would have 50 original combinations.
