Hi everyone,

Today marks a new beginning for the This is Now project.

As you may recall, we celebrated the project’s first birthday a few weeks ago. Since September 2008, we’ve discovered new images and shared our thoughts on Twitter and Facebook. I hope you’ll agree, the journey has been fantastic, inspiring and rewarding. Together, we’ve created one of the finest collections of photos that define “now” that you’ll ever find online.

For us, it’s now time to say goodbye as we’ll no longer be updating the blog. However, the This is Now blog remains open so we can all keep enjoying the fantastic pictures that everyone has contributed. We also hope you like the many articles that we gathered in the past year, you can just browse through the tags and our guest-bloggers list.

Plus, our offer to become a guest blogger still stands, so if you’d like to get involved just contact us at contribute@thisisnow.eu.

In addition, the This is Now Flickr group is still running, with hundreds of contributions every week from its 6,000+ members. Head over to Flickr now to discover new pictures and add your own… there’s always something to say about now!

Many thanks to everyone for making this such a wonderful adventure and let’s stay in touch!

Hi everyone,

As you are probably aware, this blog highlights our favourite “now” images from the This is Now Flickr Group. Over the last 12 months, the Flickr Group has been capturing the essence of ‘now’ with images and videos bursting with originality. These have been submitted by over 6,000 group members, which is something we’re really pleased about and would like to continue.

So, we’re now offering you the opportunity to decide what images are accepted into the This is Now Flickr group by becoming a moderator for the group. As a moderator, you’d be selecting images from the hundreds that are submitted every week. Plus, you would be helping the group maintain its standing as one of the finest collections of images on Flickr.

We’ll support you all the way, particularly at the beginning to help you understand our criteria for what makes a great image of ‘now’. But it’s your interpretation of what defines now that’s really important – and it would be your decision when selecting the best images from those submitted by members.

It needn’t take up too much of your time and it’s something that you can add to your CV/resume. So if you’d like to be involved for an hour per week and a have an eye for a stunning photo, then please get in touch by email to contribute@thisisnow.eu or flickrmail to Antonella1975.

Many thanks, everyone.

This is a very happy week for all of us here: This is Now is celebrating its first birthday!

It’s been a wonderful and amazing year for the This is Now project and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who read, commented, guest-blogged here, blogged on their own blogs, tweeted, Facebooked, looked at all the pictures from the This is Now Flickr group and added their own “now” to the gallery.

There are many memories I wish I could evoke here: Kai posting the first picture on the blog a year ago, publishing some of the interviews of the artists behind the This is Now TV ad like Nat Von or Dan Tobin Smith, and reading all of the blog posts from the lovely bloggers who shared with all of us their visions of “now”.

Everyday for the past year I’ve had the chance to discover some amazing pictures and visions, that changed the way I look at things, the way I enjoy the moment and appreciate all the “now”s I experience in my everyday life. The conversations have been great as well, especially on the This is Now Twitter.

I hope you enjoyed the journey too!

Thanks again to all of you without whom this unique European art project wouldn’t have been possible and now let’s celebrate with all our guest bloggers: Aimee Marie, Albert Alcoz, Alex Turvey,Ana, Bertrand, Camille, Chloe, Diego Barreiro, Cinehistoria, Claire Harrop, Danny Stack, David Fraga, David Wilson, Denise Grayson, Filippo Magnifico, David Gallardo López, Giov, David Sztypuljak, Holly Golightly, Javier Maseda, Joan Mercadal, Jorge Rodriguez, JuBox, Lena Weber, Phil Edwards, Lorentzo, Lucas Savelli, Lucia, Manuel M, Marco, Melina, Memori@, Miss Destructo, Mr Omneo, Pablo Suau, Roberto, Emilie Vetter, Shane Lynam, Alan Smithee, Alexandre Thak, Sonidobscuro, Chris Osburn, Sahil Varma, Uruloki.
