Inspiration can hit you in so many unusual ways. For me, it struck during a conversation with a good friend over a Newcastle at Rudy's in New Haven, CT. I have lived here in the Elm City for nearly five years and I have met some incredible people. However, I can't help but wonder what I'm missing. Also, perhaps others are missing out on the faces and places I do have the pleasure of already knowing. So many places, so many faces, so many points of view that I (and many others) have yet to encounter in this huge tiny city.
So, with that in mind...I present you with....
Here's the idea. I want to get a better idea of the awesome people of New Haven, CT. A list of 20 questions was put together to bring out a bit of one's personality and let us in on their reasons for loving/liking/loathing this city where we live our one-of-a-kind lives. The concept for choosing one hundred people was rather simple. 25 was too easy, 50 was too boring and 100 sounded more like a challenge. It's a good round number.
The only requirement for this project is that one MUST be a New Haven resident, willing to answer the 20 questions, willing to have your answers posted on the on-going blog AND allow a fun "day in the life of" photo shoot. Sounds so simple, yes?
The shoots are starting this week and I'm beyond excited to meet everyone and experience what makes this city work for them and what their day looks like to the world.
The requests for the 20 questions are rolling in and I'm already in shock at how quickly word travels here. Keep your eye on the blog for the beginning of the 100 New Haven People posts! It will be one a day for, yes, you guessed it....100 days.
Want more info on what you can do to be part of this venture? Send me an email? or comment the blog. I'll get back to you ASAP!
