Popcultured

800 Part 2

I met up with the Culture Company yesterday to discuss the whole project and they're now right behind us in featuring it in publicity and making it a more official part of Liverpool's 800th Birthday celebrations.

800

The 800 project is now well underway and last night the 8 photographers taking part all got together and started to work out some ideas about how we take it all forward. We've also secured a large gallery space down at Albert Dock with the intention of hosting an exhibition of all of the photographs within 3 days of them being taken. The photographs, of 800 people on Liverpool's 800th birthday, will also be shown online at the Popcultured website which is currently being built.

Hoy

There's stacks of street fashion websites out there but Hoy is our current favourite as they're Liverpool based and it's just plain cool. And Liverpool's a village so you're bound to know a few faces from within the site. We found a photograph of our friend Rebekah.

Straight Outta Brampton

Matt from Black & Ginger's taken off to Scotland on some sort of outdoor pursuits holiday....fishing, shooting and whisky etc..But this is what he's sent back from day 1.

800

Liverpool will be 800 years old on August 28th and I had this late night whiskey induced idea to photograph 800 people on that day. However, the calculator tells me I would only have 1.8 minutes with each person if I worked for the full 24 hours so I've enlisted some other photographers to make it a slightly more sensible group project. And where it goes from there we don't actually know yet but if anybody else out there wants to get involved then feel free to get in touch!

House Proud

Just uploaded another football obsessed photo album of work by Imke Oppenkamp.  Taken last summer, at the time of the World Cup finals, these photographs were the original starting point of Popcultured which was then put on hold after England got booted out.

Bin there done that

Is it legal to paint your council bin? Just added a small photo album by Imke Oppenkamp of some nicely painted up Liverpool bins to our slowly growing collection of projects.  Some more of Imke's photographs can be seen here.

RGB

Have you got any photographs that contain only these colours?  Let us know as we're putting together a group photo album.

Put the glow sticks down.

These photographs (copyright Mark McNulty) were taken in Edingburgh in the early-mid 90's at a rave called Rezerection. Needless to say it was horrible. Nu rave?  Think again.
