A photography Book?

An information Booklet?

An on-line photo essay?

A photoblog?

What format would be the best way to reach the users?

With the popularity of the internet, with it’s ability to instantly reach people all around the world, the project would probably be best suited to an internet-based project. With blogging having become a world-wide phenomenon, the project could take on an online format which would document a number of people with Cystic Fibrosis. This would be the easiest and quickest way for people to be able to connect.

People come online to interact, join, relate, share and participate – an internet based project would be the best way to do this. The project could be a series of different photo-essays or a photo-blog featuring a number of different people. However, what format the project will finally take will be determined after further research and development.

Whatever form the project may take, the most important thing is:

• It provides a way for CF patients and their families and friends to feel connected • It inspires and informs• It educates• It creates awareness
