#stopsmileshare

Friends are my power!!!

I still have my whole family. I have wonderful children and grandchildren.

Even though I don't have lots of money my kids and grandkids still give me sweet smiles.

Smiles; hugs; doodles & stories make me happy (:

The “Share a Smile” Project

is an ongoing project of one art student inspired by this question. I hope to gather the answers of anyone and everyone in order to create a bar graphic made up of all of their photos. A photo(bar)graph, if you will.

Can & how do I participate?

Anyone can participate in this, and I encourage and ask that i you have a few minutes to spare & a camera/webcam, that you do participate.

step 1: write The question: “What makes you smile?” Your answer: Write it down! (+ bonus points for doodles) step 2: take a photo! Using any camera, webcam, phone, etc, take a photo of yourself holding your answer. Your face, pose, and model skills are all up to you. step three: submit! Send your photo to me via this page, or email your photo to [email protected] step four: tell me about yourself along with your photo, include your name and location in the universe. that way i can know who and where the amazing smile is coming from! step five (optional): spread the word! let people know that you’re participating in the project! post/share your photo on social media (facebook, instagram, twitter, tumblr, etc) and don’t forget to tag #stopsmileshare and #theshareasmileproject :)

Submissions can be made here, and emails can be sent to [email protected]
