CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - Please feel free to copy this and send to all who might be interested in this project.

Our Gendered Lens:

A Photography Book From the Transgender, Transsexual, Genderqueer, Thirdgender, Non-gender, Gender variant, Gender Defiant.

This photography book will focus on our images, scenes from our worlds, what we see through our own lenses, and what role gender identity plays in our lives.

This book will allow us to share our lives and our experiences through images of our own creation. It is important that we take creative control of the images that represent who we are. Subject matter is up to you, the photographer, as long as it pertains to your gender in some way.

The main goal of this project is to visualize as many gender identities as possible, in an international scope, through photographs taken by people in the trans and gender variant community.

I am hoping to get photographs from around the world. I hope to find submissions that represent places that have smaller trans and gender variant communities, right along side those of us who live in large cities. The book will include photographers from diverse racial and class backgrounds
and across a wide age range.

****I am looking for people that can help translate the call for submissions and help with international communities. If you can help with this please let me know in an email.****

If you would like to participate in this project and do not have the funds for a camera (disposable or otherwise) or film developing please email me or send me a letter so we can work something out.

Deadline for submissions has been set for October 2005.
