Hey! Some of you might be interested in taking part in this photo shoot on June 3rd.
www.knowwar.com
It's being organised by a mate of mine, Zach Gold. He's going to be photographing 2400 americans strewn across the desert to depict the human cost of the Iraq War on June 3rd.

I'm sure they do. Still doesn't make the death of 2408 soldiers any less tragic

The only way I'll do it is if I can be naked.
I don't want tan lines.

Absolutly, all these causes need to be addressed too. Know war is just one small project, trying to make a difference. Hopefully it will strike a chord with the people who are supporting this war

It's only 30 min from LA, so if you're in the are, go along. Best if you sign up on the site. Then we have some idea who'll de coming. I'm trying to get there from Ireland!

When it is? I'll be close to LA this weekend.
In all honesty it sounds like a cool piece.
Hope it gets some good media attention for him/the project.

I'm just giving you shit, obviously, good luck with your project.
I'm low on cash, are they paying people? Or is this Pro-Bono and do Illegals count, because last time I checked none of them were serving and I'm not so sure I would like them protesting twice. You only get one protest per year.
OK FUCKERS!! Sheeeeeeesh.......
:O

It's like this... (kind of off subject... but on)
When I was a kid our school teacher told us to bring in pennies every day to see if we could get to a million. So every day before class all of us kids, about 20 in the class emptied our pockets of pennies in hopes of reaching 1 million pennies.
At the end of the school year we were all SURE we had it.
110,634 pennies. Yep. $1,106.34.
That's how I was taught how LARGE 1 million was.
Sometimes people need to see things, to understand the real size of the number.

Makes sense Kona, thanks.
Someone said that one death is a tragedy, 1 million is a statistic. This photo might make those 2408 deaths less of a statistic.

And then your teacher bought a Real Doll.

BTW, the logo on the site is made up of crosses, one for each death. it has to de updated every day.
