Sista! The Estrogen Connection

Do you have women in your life who are always there for you, no matter what? They provide unconditional support, laughter, and friendship? If so, the Sista! Project would like to hear from you!

About Sista! The Estrogen Connection...

News:

23 March 2009: The Sista! blog was launched. The purpose of this blog is to track the progress of this major project.

24 March 2009: Join the Sista! group on Facebook.

May & June 2009: I will be hitting the road to photograph women with their Sistas. I plan on going as far east as Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and as far southeast as Lewiston, Idaho/Clarkston, Washington and as far southwest as Vancouver, Washington/Portland, Oregon. The trips will happen in May and June. If you are interested in being a part of this project with the women who you consider Sistas - please let me know. I'm rounding up women for portraits and stories to be included in the book and am hoping to fill these trips with shooting sessions.

10 April 2009: The Sista! project packet is completed and released to women who are considering participation in the project.

Sista details the emotional bonds that develop between women - The Estrogen Connection. This connection can develop between biological sisters, best friends, or women who share a common link (i.e. breast cancer survivors, menopause, knitting, motherhood, etc.). The project is expected to be a year-long expedition in exploring and celebrating the positive and supportive connections women make with each other.

Eliza, Cassie, and Tina, are not only sisters, but they are also Sistas.

For Participation Information:

For information on participating in this project, please click HERE. The Participation Packet is a pdf file, so you will need Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to view the material. You can download a free version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe website.

Photo Sessions:

Photo sessions will not be studio-based. Instead, portraits will be more casual in approach and preferably in the environment where the estrogen connection with your Sistas can best be seen. This could be during lunch in your home or restaurant, while watching a movie, or even while shopping. Sessions can easily be done at the playground where you gather with your Sistas, while your kids play, or while trying on wedding dresses, with all your Sistas gathered around to give their opinions.

There really are no limits, and I will simply blend into the background and photograph as you and your Sistas do your thing. The point of the project isn't to intrude and/or become a part of the moment but to step back and allow me to observe what you would normally do and how you would normally act.
