Smithsonian Crowdsourcing New Rock Site and Book
. The Smithsonian wants your rock'n'roll shots! On December 1, 2015, Smithsonian Books and Smithsonian Media will launch rockandroll.si.edu. We're reaching out to the general public to go through their attics, basements, boxes, drawers, digital cameras, photo albums, cell phones, cloud, photo upload sites, and computer hard drives for pictures that show the greatest moments in the history of rock'n'roll. The Smithsonian is crowdsourcing for a site (rockandroll.si.edu) and book that will illustrate rock'n'roll as it has never been seen before with photos sent in by YOU. Beginning with the site launch on December 1st you can send in your Jimi Hendrix pictures. Your Patti Smith shots. Your Radiohead photos. We want rock'n'roll as seen through your eyes: at clubs, concerts, festivals, and beyond. Your photos will also have a chance at being featured in the book. Each month the Smithsonian or special guests will choose the best photos that have been submitted. The site will also feature select photos and text from rock artists, band managers, photographers, and more sharing their favorite photos and stories. The site will launch December 1st, and give the general public the opportunity to post their rock photos and help create one of the greatest collections of rock'n'roll photography ever. The book will be published in the fall of 2017. SB submitted this story. |
