Description

On this one single day you are asked to pick up your camera and help to photograph daily life. What is close to you? What matters to you? Your images will be connected to images from all around the world, creating a unique online experience, where photographs will be shared, compared and explored. Your view on life will be preserved to inspire generations to come.

The mission is to use the power of photography to create, share and inspire perspectives on daily life – today and tomorrow. This project is initiated by the Swedish non-profit foundation Expressions of Humankind and supported by a highly respected global advisory council and a special scientific council.
