PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPEDITION!

[ALJER]

HI GUYS, I HAVE A HUGE PLAN, CURRENTLY I AM STUDYING A DEGREE IN PHOTOGRAPHY IN FALMOUTH, CORNWALL, AS PART OF MY COURSE I WILL BE REQUIRED TO EXPLORE STORIES AROUND THE WORLD AND DOCUMENT THEM, WHEATHER THEY BE IN NEWSPAPERS, USED AS STOCK IMAGERY OR WHATEVER, I HAVE DECIDED THAT I WILL BE BASING MY LONG TERM PROJECT THE THING I LOVE MOST (NEXT TO PHOTOGRAPHY) WHICH IS OF COURSE, NUNCHAKU!

NOW, THIS PROJECT WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL I HAVE THE FUNDS AND CORRECT KNOWLEDGE, AND I CANNOT REALLY START THE PROJECT UNTIL I AM IN MY THIRD YEAR, MY OVERALL PLAN IS COME AND VISIT VARIOUS NUNCHAKU COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD AND COMPILE IMAGES AND NEW TRICKS ON MY WAY, WHAT I WOULD LIKE FROM YOU GUYS IS PERHAPS THE GO AHEAD TO COME AND VISIT, THIS WON'T HAPPEN FOR A WHILE, BUT KNOWING THAT AT LEAST A FEW OF YOU GUYS COULD PUT ME UP FOR A FEW DAYS IS A GREAT HELP, I WOULD ESPECIALLY LIKE TO VISIT THE BUZZING COMMUNITY IN INDONESIA, THE ORIGINATORS OF THE WHOLE THING IN JAPAN, THE SMALLER COMMUNITIES IN AMERICA, AND ANY WONDERFUL PLACES AROUND THE GLOBE, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN, YOU WILL GAIN BEAUTIFUL IMAGES FROM IT, AND AT THE END I HOPE TO PUT TOGETHER A DOCUMENTARY SHOWING THE IMPACT OF NUNCHAKU AROUND THE WORLD.

YOURS HOPEFULLY

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I THINK THIS WOULD REALLY CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ON GOING HOPE TO GET NUNCHAKU INTO THE OLYMPICS!!             

[Stickmanwalking]

   This sounds like great idea, perfect for photography class, with high speed, flashy subject! You have a place to stay in Denver, colorado, USA!

[Renato]

GUYS THIS MEANS A LOT, WE NEED MORE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS, I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON FUNDING, SO MANY IDEAS SO FAR ABOUT HOW THE WHOLE THING WILL PAN OUT, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE PARTIALLY DOCUMENTARY, PARTIALLY PHOTO STORY, SO I WILL PRETTY MUCH BE COVERING THE HISTORY OF NUNCHAKU AND THE STORIES OF YOU GUYS, HOW YOU GOT INTO IT, WHAT IT DOES FOR YOU AS A PERSON ETC.

I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON WHAT GOES ON AS IT HAPPENS, IT MAY BE A SLOW PROCESS BUT WATCH THIS SPACE

Akron, ohio USA. We would be glad to help ya out, i have classes of 15 or 20 students at a time learning nunchaku as well as other weapons.
me and Theaaa1 as well as Mr Jacob and a few other nunchaku artists all live in the same house even  i don't have much but i'm positive i could help at least a little with the funding as well!
Hit me up anytime and we'll work something out to get you up here ! 

[ALJER]

this sounds amazing!!
 i can only imagine how good a house full of chukers would be to photograph! ! i am really into this idea guys and want to get it off the ground as soon as!! i think the best way to approach this is to photograph as many chukers as i can in the UK first in order to build up a small portfolio to send off in order to gain some sort of commission, if anyone can think of some way of making this go as smoothly and effectively as possible, please bring your ideas here.   



here is a basic example of what some of the content generated from a trip like this will produce, the other part will hopefully be an exhibition and perhaps a full on documentary, though this will expand the man power needed potentially tenfold as i would need a film crew. what do people think? any contributions?
