A search for homemade Mardi Gras costumes: Can you help?
February 20, 2008 by nonotes
E is looking for some help with a new photography project.
She is seeking handmade/homemade Mardi Gras costumes to photograph. You may or may not wear or use costumes yourself — but maybe you know some people who do? Just trying to help get the word out.
E is going to be in New Orleans for a few days beginning March 21. She’ll have a van. She hopes to collect at that time as many costumes as possible to bring back to Savannah.
When done, she will ship each costume back to the owner, along with an archival 8×10 photograph of it.
Also: Any suggestions for sites or organizations who may be able to help would be gratefully received.
E’s most recent work can be seen at www.soldierportraits.com, to get a sense of what it’s like. She’ll be using the same process you see there for this costume project.
Interested parties can then contact her at ellen@ellensusan.com.
Please forward this at will. Thanks.
