Hi everybody, The time is getting closer and I am sure a lot of you have not decided exactly what to shoot. After the project has finished I hope all the photographers will keep in touch. Alx and Company have done a great job getting us all together, so let's take advantage of all their hard work. It would be great in the future to have photographic contacts in various countries around the world, so when we travel we can get the best photographic sites in these countries. So if any of you out there are thinking about travelling to this part of the world please contact me. Remember, "Don't take a photograph, MAKE a photograph" Looking forward to seeing the 1,000's of Millennium Photographs. Merry Xmas, Selamat Hari Krismas,Happy New Year to everbody.

Hi everyone! Yet another excited photographer looking forward to capturing the welcoming of the New Millennium. I'm calling on all Montreal photographers who are participating to contact me. I would like to organize a "Kick-Off" at Noon, December 31st in Montreal (downtown) with all of us who are photographing Montreal. I will organize the venue and publicity (camera crew) if you will agree to join us. If you send me an email, I'll build a distribution list (cc Project Crew, of course) and we can go from there. Until then, good luck and much fun to all! Cheers... Sue

Hello fellow shooters: I will be returning to Cuba (Isle of Youth, off the south coast) again this New Years, and for me, I will be shooting no formalized type celebrations. I will instead focus on normal people celebrating with family and friends. I am going to try real hard to have NO geo-political influences on my photos. This is a day for PEOPLE everywhere..... not governments. Thanks and good shooting to us all.

Howzit! (As we say here in sunny SA) This project is truly exciting - but I have a strong feeling that my camera won't qualify (Sony Mavica 91 Digital) for the printed version - howabout we pressure the Powers-That-Be for an online version especially for digital photographers? Off the top of my head I can't figure out a way for that to be a profit making venture directly, but maybe someone else can - and thereby get some steam into the idea? I am going to be on the lookout for anything that qualifies as (humanly) interesting during the 24h period - stuff going down on the streets, people partying, literally anything!! Great to be (however slightly) involved! Roy.

All Our Relations! We are melding our talents to manifest a global visual event. How many dimensions of excitment does THAT cover? It is my intention to celebrate the Millenium in the desert wilderness of the Southwestern United States. My plan is to shoot one role of color slide film (38 exposures) on December 31st, much of it at night. With active respect for Nature, and conscious awareness of the huge environmental impact of photography, I have come to shoot less film, with a higher percentage of successful images per roll. Going into the 21st Century, I offer this perspective after more than thirty-three years of making photographs, all over the world, above and below the waterline. Here's a great piece of advice for all photographers who might benefit from the immortal words of legendary photography instructor, the late Thomas Knight, "Compose the edges of the frame, and the center will take care of itself." Good 'snapping', and much Aloha! to all, PvH P.S. For those interested in Project P.E.A.C.E.

Greetings fellow photographers! This is definitely a wonderful global event...the Millennium Photo Project will make its mark in history! At the moment I still haven't made up my mind what I'll be photographing, but I think I will improvise - snap some pics of any events and/or people in the city of Pitt Meadows that will grab my interest. Also I may consider shooting the rural areas of the city, leaning more towards nature scenes. Anyhow, good luck to all of you and most importantly, have fun!!

Dear friends My involvement with the 'One day for Peace January 1st 2000', the Millennium / Jubillenium Meal, and the Year Zero campaign will be part of the photos and / or concepts for that day. By the way: at a meeting in Klamath Falls OR in August 1998 i first heard of the 'Millennium Snapshot' by Greg Wright, who publishes often via the Global Ideas Bank. By searching the web for his newest activities, i arrived at the Millennium Photo site.

I am a professional portrait photographer who travels on a daily basis. I have several vantage point available. I am looking forward to being on the heliport of a bank building for fireworks\laser show shots. I will use my Canon Eos and lenses and medium format for really sharp photos, hopefully for publication. Good luck, stay "focused" and enjoy!

Hi from the first country to see the sun. Judging by the number of messages up in only two days this is going to be a very busy site, just like 31 December will be a very busy night! I have an idea of taking my shots of some of the people who can't actually enjoy the celebrations, like those in hospital or those workers who have to be on stand-by in case of any millenium night problems. Have to look into it in more detail. From that point of view an ID card as suggested earlier would be an excellent idea. Am really looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Hi all! I am thrilled to be involved in such a history-making event such as this. I live in a tiny little town in NW Arkansas, in the Ozark mountains. I love to take pictures of just about any thing, but prefer nature, and animals. I do those types of photos better. I would love to hear from anyone around the world about this project or any other photography issues. I would like to someday turn profesional as a photographer, but for the moment am a very dedicated amateur. Hope to here from some of you. I am not 100% set on what I am going to take my pictures of, but I am going to take the last sunrise and sunset of the century, and the first sunrise and sunset of the new century. My tentative plans for NYears eve, is to be on the University of Arkansas campus for the huge fireworks, and lord knows what else, with this being a college town, who knows what may come along.......

Boy Howdy All! Can't tell you how good it feels to be involved with such a huge project. It really does give a sense of how the internet is bringing us all together. As a recent transplant to Anchorage from Chicago, I'm having a rough time deciding what exactly it is that I would like to shoot, but whatever it turns out to be, I would like to capture the interaction of transplants, like myself, with the indigenous peoples celebrating and welcoming the new millenium. I wish you all luck on your personal explorations of capturing this magical evening...CHEERS!

Okay folks... allow me for a few minutes to refer to matters in terms of racial classification: In South Africa I foresee a problem arising in that the overwhelming majority of people who have access to the net here are white. I'm not too sure as to what the racial breakdown is for my region but I've been working hard at trying to get black (people of colour) to sign onto the project. Because this requires access to the net most of these photographers have been unable to do that. In recent weeks I've had quite a few such photographers contact me to say that they are unable to sign on and have been placed on a waiting list. South Africa is pretty much still quite rural and first world technologies are largely restricted to the urban areas excluding their surrounding townships. Obviously, should my suspicions prove to be correct we are headed for a screwed reflection of how the Millennium was spent here. I suspect that this holds true for other parts of the world where such situations exist. I'm also sure that other of my country reading this would say that this is an attempt to politicise the event and the project. Hell... I'm just expressing the obvious. Anybody have any suggestions as how this problem could be addressed? Feel free to email me directly. PS: It would appears as though my attempts at publicising the Project is bearing fruits... but for some it appears to be a little too late. PS2: I think that this problem reflects on the larger problem as to how to get word of the project into other African nations. One last thing: To all South Africans reading this... I'd like to know where and what you intend to do for the project. It might help us to cover regions in our country which might otherwise be lost to the project. I'm sure that most are from Gauteng and the Western Cape. Thanks.

With regards to Andy October's problem re access to the net, I came across a similar problem in Malaysia, perhaps not to the same extent. Andy I got the details from the non-internet users and sent the registration to the HQ using my email. All I have to do now is follow up with those registrants and send the final registration in. Hopefully this way those who thought they would miss out now have the opportunity.

Nov 8 1999, The countdown to the new mellennium has begun and I am very excited about it. I am not planning to shoot any big street parties, I prefer the more personal and intimate settings and I am planning to shoot a communion service to be held by candle light in my little Baptist Church here. However before and after the service I shall also try and shoot other things, like the last sunset, the first sunrise (in this part of the world, weather permitting), the awakening of downtown Edmonton in the early hours of Jan 1, 2000.....boy, I hope the weather is mild. Please fellow photographers keep in touch let me know what you are shooting I can use some of your ideas. Keep well, Have a great Christmas and New Year and a HAPPY NEW MILLENNIUM !!!

Hi Everyone, What a great project! I'm still as excited as the day I signed on this adventure. I'm from New Hampshire and I plan to photograph people in quiet celebration. By trade I am a portrait photographer. I like the idea of everyone keeping in touch. I would love to visit with other photographers after this project is complete. Hopefully, this site will stay active even after we have submitted our photographs. If there are any other photographers from the New England area please e-mail me. Maybe we could get together before New Years and brain-storm. Happy shooting. Pat

HELP.... Could anyone help me on inserting the html banners into e-mail. I am using Windows 95 and when I send it, it does not come up as a hyper-link. Only a banner. I would like to use it in my mail so others can just click it on and get to the Millenium Project. I must be doing something wrong...

Hello to all the photogragphers out there. I know that I'm excited for this great project and can't wait to get to Israel(Where I'll be photographing the monumentous event). I was wondering if anybody knew of credentials or possibly an ID badge that is going to be mailed out to all who are participating. This might help in getting into some areas that could otherwise be closed off. Good luck and happy shooting to everybody around the globe. It's gonna be fun!!

Hi everyone. Just a couple of comments regarding some of the points that have been floated. Firstly the plan is that the site WILL stay up long after the event, and hopefully forever. An article on our current newsletter page alludes to this, in the sense that there are clearly some exciting opportunities for a long term community enterprise that benefits all our member photographers, once New Year's is out the way. Just the fact that already we are being approached by people in regards to commissioning our network of photographers, gives an indication of the potential that exists. As far as our chat room goes Andy, the harsh reality of the web is that you really need a good 10,000 people A DAY visiting a site to ensure that there are always people in the chat room. If you hang out long enough someone will come by, but other than that we suggest the weekends be the time that people really try to stop by. Last weekend was a good example and there were some very interesting debates. Lorraine, thank you for your kind comments. An idea is one thing but the credit must really go to the people who are truly making this thing happen. The posts are excellent folks and a great indication of the many fine individuals who have signed up to take part in this... crazy endeavour!

I plan to be in fabulous Las Vegas for New Years, and if there's a place where you might see something unusual on New Years Eve, this has got to be it!!

To all Malaysian Millennium Photographers (MMP's). I am arranging a get-together for the 1st week in December so we can have a chat and review where you are going to shoot. It will be in PJ or KL, sorry to the outstation guys and gals, might have one in Penang if there is enough interest. Please let me know if you would be interested to attend and which day & time is most suitable. Don't be slack about this, there are 6,000 photographers vying to get their photo published, let's do our best to ensure that Malaysia gets in the book. Malaysia boleh!

Hi ALL.. Well, the time is nearing. Really getting close. I'll be taking shots in Time Square, which is in New York City. There are usually over 100,000 people at this place awaiting for the "Ball" to drop. I'm already starting to sweat just thinking about it. New Year's Eve in New York is televised nationally on almost every station. This is going to be fun. Hope I can fight off the croud. I wish everyone luck and sucess in their shootings. This is an event we will never see again, and it has to be documented. AND WE ARE DOING IT !!!!! Our photos will be passed down from generation to generation. Only our photos will show them the memories of January 1,2000. I wish everyone the best in their shots along with the new Millennium.

Hello everyone, knowing that things are going to all go well on the day will help us all, I also know that in this county of mine there are going to be SOOOOOO many people that you just can not miss. And i don't think that hiding behind a bush will help because you will turn your head and find someone else will be there too. One thing though, make sure that you have fresh batterys. I don't think a dairy will be open at that time of night. If there are any photographers coming to little old New Zealand give me a bell.

So glad (like you all) to be a part of this! Fortunately, I have Mount Rushmore nearby, so I will probably take advantage of that at sunrise or sunset, shoot some other quiet celebrations and possibly a Catholic mass. I will be shooting with 35mm film--is that what most of you are using? If there is anyone nearby here that is involved, drop me a line! I'd like to hear from you. Good luck to everyone!

I will be out on the town on the big night, hoping to capture the special moments that represent our fine city. If other Toronto photographers would like to get together and design a "millenium pass", it may assist us in establishing credibility....maybe not? I am a sponge..

Hello to everyone But especially to any Italians out there who wish to give advice to a English person who is going to Italy for the first time. Feel free to let me know how Italian people celebrate the New Year, do they do it in style? The English tend to meet up in the evening, get very drunk, sing a little, count down the New Year then desperately try and find a party to go to. This is an example of what most people tend to do on New Years Eve. So tell me what you would usually do on New Years Eve. Goodbye and good luck to all the Millenium Photographers out there.

Uhm, since I just ran through this site pretty fast. I just saw someone say: "what will be the best idea..." (or something like that) Well, I guess there are some in this world who are not as fortunate as us (since we all own a camera). How 'bout taking a picture of them while they are celebrating their new years eve. They might be at the shelters or something similar. I might go there and shoot a few pictures while they are preparing for the new millennium...... To the guys who got this project started: It's a great idea. And I am glad to be a part of it. Last project I attended was the Soccer World Cup Photo-project and it was fun and very interesting to be a part of. my photopage: "1000words

Hi Everybody. I will be spending New Years Eve at "The Gathering", a festival of freedom, dance, music and participation. It is held in a very isolated area, 2,500ft up on top of Takaka Hill (known as Marble Mountain), South Island, New Zealand. http://www.gathering.co.nz/ There will be around 130 DJs and 50 Live Acts, supported by a team of 20 VJs, as well as around 100 street, circus and theatre perfomers. This is an annual event, although no-doubt this year it is going to be even bigger and better than previous years. I'm looking forward to sharing this bizzare event, and seeing how others spent the 2000 celebrations.

I am certainly looking forward to capturing a part of this event. Some ideas to ponder: polls suggest 75% of Americans will stay at home, indoors, for the New Year. I believe to truly capture this millineum event, we should consider many angles and viewpoints. With all the promise of the next 1000 years also come concerns, anxiety and doubt. If the Y2K issue offers a shot for anyone, that certainly deserves coverage. Many a celebration is sure to occur. There are MANY angles to consider. Let's think as creatively as possible in order to document this moment in history. I look forward to sharing ideas and seeing great photo's!

Waiheke Island and Auckland themselve's are having some rather big things going on and I'm hoping that somewhere out there someone is also going to be around here to help, so if there is ANYONE going to be in the area please e-mail me and I can fill them in.

The project's come a tremendous way in the last few weeks and our focus is now shifting to ensuring that we have 'all the bases covered' for December 31st. We are putting together a list of all the shoot ideas and themes that have not yet come in from people, so we can offer these up to others who may not have firm plans yet or may have a way of getting these particular shots. We are looking for your input and welcome you to add any suggestions to this discussion page or e-mail us directly. Here are some ideas we have thought of to get the discussion going. PEOPLE (Celebs, Religious leaders, High Society, Heads of State, People in Prison, the homeless); EVENTS (You have all been so creative in your planning that we are actually short on coverage of the 'obvious' events! What would you say are the 'cannot miss' events we should aim to cover besides Times Square, The Millennium Dome etc.?); OTHER IDEAS (An airplane cockpit crew, aerial photography, special effects ideas - time lapse, panoramic, a flick book type sequence of Big Ben etc). We will create the space in the book for innovative ideas.

We have chartered a 45' sloop and plan to sail wherever our hearts desire until New Years. At 01 01 00 -00:01 we will be in Grand Harbour on Jost Van Dyke celebrating with hundreds of other cruising yachts. We plan to be on the eastern tip of St. John, USVI ((hangover permitting)the first U.S. territory to see the new millennium). I am an amature photographer, but am very enthusiasic about the project. I could not believe when I saw the opportunity to participate in a worldwide event documenting the most exciting New Year of our lifetime. I look forward to seeing everyone's work and pray that mine will even compete. Good Luck to all and God Bless you in the New Year!

Hi all... Thank you Crew/HQ for making a PDF file for the Accredation Letter. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to get it. For all that are interested, I will be using 35 mm Nikons for my shooting. I'm not sure on the film I will use. I will have to make a decision on the fastest, and lowest grain film available. I will be in New York City for the 24 hours looking for every possible shot I could find. Not only at Time Square, but throughout the entire area. If anyone else will be there, please let me know.

Greetings, Hello, Ahola, : I have been photographing for 40 years. The discovery is MySelf. I am a Human Being and that is a profound happening. With the Millennium approaching truly a shift in awareness is happening with all Living Stuff. Mostly I, we, as Human Beings can accept our true heritage and take our place as the stewarts of this Living Wonderous Planet. I have been compiling a volume of photographs that celebrate the human being as simply being and doing what they do. My approach is the same for the 1999/2000 bridge, or millennium. I will use 35mmm equipment, stay simple within myself, be prepared photographically, and follow my heart. Good feelings follow good intentions individually and collectively. This effort feels good and the intentions are wonderful, so let it be so. To the next installment of the family of MAN. IN Lightness, ARthur SAwyers

Greetings all: I was reading the discussion list and noticed Alx's suggestions for important subjects to be covered for the project. I've got a few more suggestions to add: A New Year's baby or a New Year's birthday; pictures taken during the first hour in the first time zone and the final hour in the last time zone; cars stuck in traffic or people waiting on line at midnight; people joining hands singing Auld Lang Syne; pictures that demonstrate New Year's Traditions; the aftermath of the large Millennium parties (Times Square, Millennium Dome, etc.); pictures of people working on New Year's Eve so to prevent Y2K; someone making a successful transaction at an ATM machine on January 1 (or similar proof that Y2K doesn't happen). Good luck everyone...I'm looking forward to looking at the pictures! Jill Waterman

I participated in a similar project at Noon EST, May 1, 1999 and although I had months to think about my particular photograph of the "moment in time," once the moment was at hand the photograph presented itself. Just be aware and have a fun-filled New Year's Eve. I may be in St.Augustine for my shot or perhaps in Atlanta celebrating with my husband's mother and father, who is 90. This gentlmen has seen most of the present century and is a fascinating person with much to tell. Age seems to be the angle presenting itself to me: St. Augustine, the oldest city (1565) in the USA or with my oldest relative.

No more "Nostradamus". The millenium of the ANDES will start. Energy came frome the east during the past last cosmic seconds, from the HYMALAYAS. Now it has concentrated at the Quitu (Quito) in ancient tongue the line of the straight sun. That's where the INCAS realized was the real "Cuzcu"(Cuzco, which mean the center in Quechua)just before the spaniards arrived. In Quitu-llacta (the land of Quito-wrongly called Ecuador by ignorant goverments) will I be to take my picture. Thanks for the opportunity, and congratulations for the idea. Juan Pablo (JP for easy)

Hello to all my new friends from around the world! I am very excited to see that as we approach the new millenium, we are able to utilize technology in such a way in that citizens from all over the world and from such a diversity of cultures will be coming together for a common goal...to make the most incredible photography book ever!! I am from NYC but will be in the rural area of Connemara, Ireland amongst stone walls and rolling hills. My intent is to shoot the locals ushering in the new millenium and have a few pints of Guinness at the same time. Hard to believe that I'll be leaving good old NYC for the Millenium but a small, local Irish pub sounds great as well. Good luck to all and all the very best for the Millenium to you and your fellow countrymen. Slainte (Gaelic for Cheers)
