10/10/10 – A Day in the Life of New Rochelle
In New Rochelle on Sunday, October 10th, 2010 babies will be born in Sound Shore Hospital, couples will be married at Blessed Sacrament Church, and birthdays will be celebrated in downtown restaurants like Bella, Bella and Applebees. Policemen will give tickets, moms will buy sneakers for their children at Modells, and teenagers will go to the movies at New Roc City. Teams will participate in sporting events, wildlife will delight, and people will enjoy their pets. Some will rake leaves, paint porches, push baby strollers and get tattoos.
Seeking Photographers
We are inviting professional and amateur photographers to record these moments and take pictures on 10/10/10 for a book called “10/10/10 – A Day in the Life of New Rochelle”. Photographers will fan out throughout the city and capture the faces, places and moments in New Rochelle. We are looking for full city coverage, from the north to the south, from the east to the west. The book will contain photos of our parks and our neighborhoods, our firemen and our police, our schools and our stores. By inviting all — senior citizens, children, kids, parents, college students — to participate, we hope to include a wide scope of life and perspective in our diverse hometown.
This will be a record of what life is like in New Rochelle in 2010.
Local Sponsors
Our local sponsor is the Chamber of Commerce of New Rochelle. Our media partner for the project is Talk of the Sound. The intent is for the book to be published online and for people to purchase the book online. Any profits from the book will be donated to a local charity selected by the Chamber of Commerce. The photographs will also be published online in a slideshow or animation.
This photo book “10/10/10 — A Day in New Rochelle” will be appropriate for real estate agents to show home buyers, for residents to keep on their coffee tables, and for artists and writers to browse for inspiration.
