Description

I need a little help here... this Sunday at 2:28pm, in honour and support of the Sichuan victims and survivors, I want to take a photo from the same vantage point as the attached photo, but this time I want to call out every person in Zhuhai to be in the photo looking up at the mountain where I am, waving, giving the peace sign, holding up banners, or whatever.

For your reference, this location is on the Gongbei side of the Ban Zhang Shan Tunnel. Let's start filling the area from the mountain and see if we can have enough people to fill it all the way back to the Macau border. There are about 1.6 million people in Zhuhai I am told, and the ultimate goal is to have a group photo of 1.6 million people showing their love and support.

Sunday June 8, 2008 - 2:28 PM

Please be there!

Hi Everyone, I have had

Hi Everyone,

I have had replies from here in E9, personal email, and sms regarding this photo on Sunday. The responses have been everywhere from "I'm not sure what you mean" to "I hope you don't get arrested". I am happy to say that many have said "I will be there!" (or for those out of the country, "I will be there in spirit").

First of all, please know that I don't want to put anyone at risk with this so if you do come to be in the photo, take care of yourself and others around you. Watch for traffic, obey the Police, and above all, remember that this is NOT a rally, it's a gesture of us just being there to display solidarity to our brothers and sisters in time of need.

Realistically, I don't think more than a handful of people will show. BUT! If you do... I will be on the mountain taking both wide-angle and close-up shots of the scene below (as it warrants). All of these photos will be made public through as many portals as I can find that are purely public and accessible to the world for free.

If you cannot be there please send a kind email in response and it will be included along with the photo with the emails I have received so far.

Doug

Hi Bobc and Deborahwu77...

Hi Bobc and Deborahwu77... thanks for your kind responses. Hey Bob, I know you wanna be there... thanks for the note. Deborah, just get your lovely face in the area shown on the photo and face the mountain from 2:28 on for about 30 minutes and it will be in the photos (very small in many of them but it will be there!).

A smile can brighten up anyone's day, so remember to bring it with you!

@debroahwu77: peace sign? also known as the "V" for "Victory sign, just take your hand, close your fist, and then straighten the index (1st) finger and the Middle(2nd) finger into a v-shape, hold it with a straight arm, and your wrist pointing away from you (this is important or you could be giving the wrong hand sign) and there you have it...

"Peace! little sister!"

regards,
