Fashion photographer Matt Spencer brings the 'I AM EQUAL' project to Salina.
16 June, 2011 - Salina, KS – In an announcement today, organizers for the ‘I AM EQUAL’ Photo Documentary said that international fashion photographer Matt Spencer will bring the record-breaking project through Salina, Kansas on June 28th, 2011 as part of the 175 city world tour to collect over 100,000 individual photos of people from all walks of life who represent the passion, outreach, and commitment of our communities to make the world a better place.

“We’re making a stop in Salina because the big hearts and compassionate outreach of small towns and cities across the country have as much of a place in this historic project as any big city you can think of,” explains Jason Beckett, creator of the ‘I AM EQUAL’ Photo Documentary. “This is our chance to use the power of this documentary to tell the stories and shine a light on the work that’s being done, right here in the heartland of America, to improve our communities, strengthen our nations, and change the world.”

The ambitious photo project is in the thick of a 7 year world tour to collect over 100,000 photos and break the world record for the largest photo mosaic in history. In 2011, the project will visit 25 cities in North America before crossing into Europe in 2012 and the Middle East in 2013. This stop in Kansas is the 12th event this year and comes on the tail of events in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Dallas, Texas.

“Bringing our photo documentary into the heart of America will help show the world that the spirit of service, compassion, and equality is not isolated on the coasts – but a uniting value among all people,” explains photographer and project co-founder Matt Spencer. “There are people who participate in the project to show support for our troops and others who are volunteering aid for our veterans; we see people who are working to end domestic violence and child abuse, while others are serving the disabled and homeless in our communities. There are people fighting for LGBT rights and marriage equality right next to others who are standing up for religious freedom and self expression. We see so many amazing people come out to take part in this project and I’m confident that Salina will rise to the occasion.”

In an effort to show the compassionate service and outreach of the community and ensure that the collection of photos is a diverse representation of this small Kansas city, event organizers have reached out to major groups and their supports in Salina including Catholic Charities, the United Way, the YMCA, American Red Cross, Saint Francis Community Services, and many more.

Participation in the ‘I AM EQUAL’ Photo Documentary is open to the public and people of all ages are encouraged to take 5 min. out of their day to be part of history. You can prepare for your photo by wearing a brightly colored solid shirt and be camera ready (hair and makeup complete) before arriving at the Ramada Conference Center between 3:00pm and 9:00pm.

ABOUT THE 'I AM EQUAL' PROJECT

The 'I AM EQUAL' Photo Documentary was created by Jason Beckett and fashion photographer Matt Spencer in an effort to empower individuals to speak out about the causes that inspire them. The project goal is to capture more than 100,000 photos of people from all walks of life with the “I AM EQUAL” logo emblazoned on the palm of their hand as a symbol of their commitment to stand up for their rights, and the rights of others around the world. Ultimately, all the photos will be gathered together to create the world's largest photo mosaic composed of 2in. photo tiles and covering more than 8,000 sq/ft.
