ok kids
i have a summer brief thing from my uni course which i have to do. its says something about the vernacular image whatever the fuck that is. basically i need to make a work involving found images.- ie actual photographic prints. and then you rework them/order them/crop them/add drawings whatever.

any ideas where i could get photographs from ? i was thinking of perhaps getting b3tans to send me some... grr i have no ideas for this project

thats a pretty cool idea
you know there is always flickr, everything is tagged to specific areas. i like to randomly search in there.

I suppose you will have to ask them nicly if you can use thier photos.

which is the bit that is difficult

ah right like printed off.
you know, I would love to ask a photodevlopers if i could stay there and ask people if i can have any bad photographs. Put an ad in the local paper?

This site is great for photos. Updated daily too, but I don't want anything bad to happen to the photographer or his images, amke sure you reference him properly young 'un.

Also,this dude is rather good.

You want the actual prints, then want b3tans to rework them on their computers?

i want b3tans to send me photos
through the mail and then i base my arty shite about said images

bang them on a cd and get the local photo shop to print them and cheat a bit?
