Can you help...?
- 4 October 2010 09:3873608After completeing my Project 52 where I took an image a week for a year. I have been thinking about what the next project should be. I now have the sparks of an idea and maybe some of you could help me out.
I am looking for local people that have a 'connection' this is a very, very tenuous thing. So for example do you or anyone you know know anybody famous (we have a few famous sons and daughters from Dover) and have a funny story or have you been the world tiddy winks champion, broken a world record or done something out of the ordinary in life or sport?
I am happy to answer any questions about this. I really want to keep this as a local thing before I start to look further afield for subjects
If you can help leave a message here or send me an email matt@rubberduckdoes.com
