The Open-Source Election

November 5th, 2006 by Larry Smith

The Huffington Post reports on an open-source election day photo project from the citizen journalism site NewAssignment.net . The assignment? Take your camera to the polls and document the voting process, one real-time image at a time and “add accuracy, nuance, poetry, meaning” to the voting process. It sounds like a lower-barrier-to-entry companion to the genius Video the Vote project, which I blogged about here.
SMITH’s own Je and V are heading to Philly with big smiles and a small camera, how about you?
