The Wisconsin Project is an opportunity for photographers to work together on documenting cities in Wisconsin. It is a collaborative photojournalism effort, with each photographer covering 1-3 cities, and only 2 photographers cover each city. Photos that are part of the project will provide perspective on the city from the photographer's point of view. This project was started by Milwaukee-based action photographer Clarissa Rodriguez and myself, and are making efforts to get other photographers to join in. So far we have three of us enlisted in the project: Myself, Clarissa, and Adam Koenig of White Patch Photography in Green Bay, WI. We have five cities we are working on: Madison, Milwaukee, Menomonee Falls, Green Bay, and Appleton. I am excited to begin working on this and to see what the potential of this project is.
What is the point of this? We'll figure it out. We'd like to have a blog up soon, and work towards greater aspirations such as collaborative shows, website, books....who knows, maybe we can make a book? Time will tell, but until then it is a great way to document a state, have multiple artists working together, and to get our names out there.
If you are a photographer and are interested in joining, email us at thewisconsinproject@gmail.com telling us about yourself and what cities you would like to document. We will then give you more info and get you all set to work with us!
