photographers, actors, designers, writers, models, artists, stylists, MUAHs, artistic directors.,.. and others alike
there is the challenge described:
In his absorbing web series http://www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/ , writer and editor #JohnKoenig gives names to deep longings and vague feelings in the form of brief, beautiful videos. Subtitled "For lack of a better world," Koenig tries to create a better world by calling attention to sensations that made you think, "maybe it's just me, but…"
His 'The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows' is a compendium of #InventedWords. Each original word and its definition aims to fill a hole in the language - to give a name to emotions we all might experience but don't yet have a word for.
The author has a ferocious curiosity about the art and science of being human, especially language, mythology, poetry, and the natural world. His dictionary has been acclaimed by New York Magazine, Washington Post Express, author John Green, blogger Jason Kottke, and the guys from Radiolab Podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26JK_Xw_laQ
we used many of his amazing words before as the key words for our magazines in the last year.
the next word is
Liberosis
n. the desire to care less about things—to loosen your grip on your life, to stop glancing behind you every few steps, afraid that someone will snatch it from you before you reach the end zone—rather to hold your life loosely and playfully, like a volleyball, keeping it in the air, with only quick fleeting interventions, bouncing freely in the hands of trusted friends, always in play.
with the focus on GUYS, GUNS, DOLLS AND GIRLS. Liberosis is a longing for liberty, an ache to let things go, be a child, be a kid, build toy houses with small people living inside of them, play with dolls, guns, cars, soldiers and toys alike. As adults we continue to play too. Our tools become more serious but it is as if we think and imagine them to be. We still play. Your best game is CREATION.
ANNOUNCING COMPETITION on the best concept / style photograph or set of photographs that will fit into the category "Liberosis" with the focus on girls and guys, toys and games, dolls and guns...
