Community Project: Operation Get Loved Up!

by Shaker BrianWS

Hey, everyone!

So here's the thing – I need the help of Shakers who are or have been in meaningful romantic relationships.

Liss and I came up with an idea for what we think could be a neat community project that challenges conventional models of romantic love, but it's dependent on your participation; I'm hoping that some of you would be willing to share some super adorable photographs of you and your sweetie - pictures of you and your spouse, partner(s), boyfriend, girlfriend, or whatever name or label you and your love choose to embrace. Please note that we ask you obtain your sweetie's consent to send the photo.

Anyone is welcome to participate - and of course pictures with partners who have passed are welcome, too. The end goal is to create a little project for the community that celebrates love between people of all sexualities, all genders, all ages, all races, all shapes.

Here are the terms, so to speak – I'll use as many photographs as I possibly can, in the order in which I receive them. No photographs will be altered aside from possibly being resized. The final product will be posted on YouTube, so don't send anything that you wouldn't want available for public viewing by anyone who happens to find it.

So if you're interested in participating, go ahead and attach your favorite photograph of you and your love to an email, and fire it over to me at ShakerBrianWS@gmail.com – I'll put something together with the photographs I receive and then share it with you all when the project is finished.

Looking forward to seeing your lovely, happy pictures!

[Note from Liss: I realize this particular community project will not be applicable for all members of the community. Many community projects won't be. I hope that anyone who would like to see a different kind of community project will feel invited to suggest their own.]
