It’s been a while since we’ve opened up for your submissions.
This one is quick and simple. I’m calling it the “Home-To-Home” reach-out.
Basically this, click a single snap shot of the street, lane, hallway, open field or whatever is within one hundred feet (about thirty meters) of your front door. It is up to you if you want to show your residence, yourself, friends or just an empty street. And, don’t stress if you are not a photographer. Quality is of no issue. No need to stress in thinking you have to create a genius photo – could even be a mobile device grab.
What is important is that you participate in sending us a submission. No matter what your situation… your story matters and I hope you choose to participate, for the greater the depth of submissions… the more powerful the message.
My desire is that this Home-To-Home reach-out will open our eyes to a broader understanding and empathy towards one another.
So from dirt street to apartment hall to house on the hill, it matters not. What is of resonance is the fact that we all inhabit the same planet, and in such, are all part of the same family human.
Sure, some have more and some have less. But that is rudimentary in regards to this reach-out. What is of importance is that we are willing to drop our walls in open arms to become an outreached community, a virtual neighborhood of sorts: One that realizes the beauty of its diversity and has a respect for the various conditions we all live in.
And in that quest for a broader unity, I cannot think of a better way of introduction than to take a stroll though each other’s community. So here we go on a virtual walk with new friends.
You have a couple of days to get your photos to me and I’ll publish them as a whole later this week.
Deadline for sending your pics is June 27, 2012.
If you can, please email me your shots sized at 600 pixels by 400 pixels, that’s 6 inches by 4 inches at 72dpi. But whatever you email, try to keep it less than 1mb.
Please submit your photos to unite@operation-365.org
In the subject line of your email:
HTH, First Name, Country, State or City
Title the file as follows:

Looking forward to the visit. And to start us off, I have given you a view of my street, trash cans and all.
