S: How have people responded so far?

J: The response has been wonderful. Aside from the positive feedback on my blog and Flickr, I have had a number of e-mails from people who want to participate. The only problem is that I have no budget to travel and all of these people are spread out around the country. I've even had a few responses from people in Europe and Australia. I would absolutely love to travel the world taking portraits. If only!

S: Where can people find the portraits?

J: The main site is jodimckeephotography.blogspot.com. It's still a little bit of a work in progress, but it's getting there. You can also find a set for my portraits on my flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jodimckee/sets/72157621983256946/

S: How can people get in touch with you or become part of the project?

J: Anyone interested in participating in the project can e-mail me at jodimckeephotography @ gmail.com. If people are interested in participating, please contact me. Even if we can't meet right away, I am hopeful that we will be able to meet someday! And if you are ever in New York City, please let me know. I would love to take your photo!
