Ok.

[Deep Breath]

I'm 40 this year; in a few week's time in fact.

And, until now, I wasn't sure 'getting to 40' was something to celebrate - or how to do it; but just today I got an idea as to how I can record it that will reflect brilliantly where I am now; and my passions.

I'd like to commission a photograph from everyone I know.

I'd like you to take/make a single photographic image - of whatever you think I'd like to have an image of and send it to me.

The image can be of anything - write me a note, sketch or doodle, photograph yourself or something (anything) you think will excite, intrigue or amuse me. I don't mind if your skills aren;'t great or if it's on a camera phone (or whatever), I care that you thought a little about it, and that you created this work just for me.

I will then take all the submitted images and collate them into a book (just for me) that will be my momento of my 40th. If you include a message with the image I'll make sure that, and your name, goes in the book.

You can add it below, or email it - strawbleu@gmail.com or post it (please ask for my postal address in a private message!)

I will be celebrating my birthday (28th March) with family around the 'big day' and then having a more proper party a little later in the year (my March is already busy enough!)

Please do this - it will mean a lot to me :-)

Thanks, Jon

A series of images captured wandering Leeds city centre one normal Saturday. The images were captured using the instagram app on the iphone and this posted is one of two outputs from the images (the other is issuu.com/strawbleu/docs/down_at_heel )

This forms another of the investigations into the shape and form of short term imagemaking projects.

I'm very interested in feedback.
