A - HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY VANESSA!

Posted by Nicole (Komono, Japan) on 1 July 2009 in People & Portrait.

For my friend Vanessa's Birthday, I decided to try out a photo project idea that I've had for a while. The basic idea is that I called up / e-mailed all of Vanessa's friends that I knew and a few that I didn't and got them to cooperate in this photo project. Each person got to choose a letter or number from the words HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY VANESSA! and take a picture with that letter. I then printed all the photos and pasted them to little boards and had the people in the picture write a message on the back. All of these boards were later bound into a book and given to Vanessa on her birthday... If you think this is hard to understand try explaining it in Japanese about 20 times ;D

To everyone who participated in this project a huge thank you! I couldn't have done it without you!

Our Letter A here is Mori-san

Mori-san got to know Vanessa through her English lesson classes held in the town hall. I got to know Mori-san through Vanessa and got to know her even better when we traveled to England together. Mori-san is a wonderfully fun and strong person. I'm sure we are both happy to have been lucky enough to meet her. ;D
