The Assignment: "Document the effects of the world wide economic downturn as you see it unfolding in your city, town, village social group or family." The only other assignment suggestion was "to document 'hope' in these times." (unless I missed some - please let me know if I did) I believe that one could see "hope" as an "effect" of the current downturn. So I think investigating this area could fit well within the stated assignment. A couple participants said that their city is in a growth phase; and that would make it difficult. I think that one could also work "no downturn here" as investigative soil. Additionally, I think that some individuals and businesses within growth areas probably also feel the pinch. Which brings me to ways of thinking about the assignment: 1) Creatively: could focus on one person, one family, one business, one street, or town. 2) Gathering notes, recorded interviews, and picture captions could help tell your story. Personally, I feel: challenged by this idea; a tad intimidated; even a little fearful of leaving my comfort zone. All that said; I'm excited to see what we can do with this. Hope you all feel the same. Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
