On November 6, 2008, The Guardian on Flickr started the flickr group, “A Message for Obama.” Whether or not you voted for President-Elect Obama, people can simply: 1) Write a message on a bit of paper, 2) Take a picture, and 3) Add your photo message to the group.
My son and I did just that.
(Next thing I know, we’ve made the flickr blog.)
As of this morning, there are 799 posted items to the group. Posts range from messages on resisting war to advocating gay rights to wishing our president-elect good luck to wanting to be proved wrong.
Even if you don’t post a message, I highly recommend looking through the “A Message for Obama” photostream. There are some visually beautiful, as well as thought-provoking, messages from people all over the world.
