Election Day: self-portraits
Robin Hunicke is collecting a gallery of voting self-portraits.
You can snap yourself before marking your ballot (keeping the results to yourself), during the vote (perhaps posing deep in thought?), or after (flashing the horns, tongue out?). I really don't care. In fact - I don't care who you vote for. I just want to see you, in the booth, doing the deed. Voting, that is (no nudity, please).
Seriously. If you have a digicam or cell phone cam - bring it along. Shoot a quick portrait and then shoot it to me by uploading your photo here. If you fill in valid info (no reason you have to - x’s will work, too) then the pix will sort by name for easy location. I’ll post the “results” in a special Election Portraits gallery a couple of days after the election.
Obviously, as she points out, you can't do this if your polling place does not have curtained booths, as potentially taking pictures of OTHER people - or of the polling place itself - is an invasion of privacy.
Now go use that cameraphone for what it was, in some sense, meant for: documenting the democratic process.
