6 international photographers come together to create this video. This is the first attempt at doing this across the globe and as unique as it is, we got it down and we hope you like it. We have to thank the new technologies like Twitter (which is how this started) and Vimeo for this to happen. All the organizing and image file forwarding was through emails and twitter, and communications were so much easier with it. Thank God for technology. :D

Singapore
Wong Kin Leong

Australia
Anissa El Gariani

this project started with Kin Leong asking Ilan whether he would like to do something like this, and as it turned out, we had lots of friends that joined in. 6 in total and spreading across the globe, we discussed what to do and deadlines were set.

And files were uploaded onto websites and emailed across to Singapore where this video is programmed on a MacBookPro and loaded onto Vimeo to be downloaded again by the 6 photographers for use in their country. Pretty neat if you ask me.

This video will probably be the first of its kind, 6 photographers from 6 major cities, shooting black and white street photography.

Just for the love of what we would like you to see.

Thanks for viewing, I hope u are as blown away as we are doing this. It was definitely a wonderful thing to have 6 of us do this, really says something about the world that ain't all that different afterall. Thanks!

    Amazing collection of photos and very nicely presented. Only one thing I'd say if perhaps next time (assuming you will again) you could make it a little longer on each photo? A shame to rush such great work :)

    Yeah, I suppose the rush was a bit shameful, but I wanted it to feel happy, and loving, upbeat. Will definitely keep refining this idea.

    I love this collection of photos...but I am with Suzy on slowing it down just a little, so that we can savor your images. Would love to be part of this, if you decide to expand. You guys rock!
  • wahliaodotcom 2 years ago
    Thank you. We'll try other approaches when we do the next one. :D

    I was the one who set the song. Agreed on the length part. I didn't want to be too draggy just for now but there will be blogs coming up on this by the contributors, stay tuned for more. Definitely will savour there. :D

    Oh, yes..it will be repeated, and I am sure lots of people will continue this. I have added moderators so that this becomes a big community work around the world too. So if u can gather a bunch of photographers as well and do this, it can get mighty interesting. :D

    Great work. Love the feel, the sound and the photos.
  • wahliaodotcom 2 years ago
    The photos took sometime to get, and the song took a lot more. We wanted to reflect the "Around the World" theme, as well, as love involved in getting this collection together. We just wanted this to be a project of the World. Kinda universe in a video thing. We do hope it got there. :D

    A fine achievement. Is there to be a book? A Blurb book perhaps.
  • wahliaodotcom 2 years ago
    Yes there is talk of it turning into a book. Lots of work, looking to see if any interested publishers actually. :D

    Hi, I'm Magico Nakamura.
    I have to aplogize for you who connected on my movie (SOUR/日々の音色"Hibi no Neiro").
    Actually I delated it from my page by mistake. (How foolish am I!!!!)
    And then I uploaded again.
    If you have time, please "RE"connect it.
    Thank you for your support.
