The fact that they gave me
the time of day means that I give playboy and their bunnies the thumbs
up ... so to speak

Dear
__________,
_________________ kindly passed on your email address as I have just recently embarked on
a new project that involves kate moss, who I was happy to find out was involved
with the anniversary issue for Playboy. I am not sure if there is a way to tie
all of this together, but thought I would touch base.
You can see the specific project at: www.ishotkatemoss.com (we
only just launched this site). I
look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hey,
Thanks for reaching out. I’m not sure
if or how I can be of help with your project. I can’t really comment on
anything related to the magazine or my work here in any critical way at this
point…
What did you have in mind?
Best,

Thanks for the quick response. I am not 100% sure
... I just think that there is a fascinating opportunity ... when the project
started I didn't know about the kate moss shoot with playboy, so I think it is
serendipitous.
The project is an encouragement for people to
interact with the images, I see it in a way as the next phase of response to
the original photographs that have already been presented. As an example, it is
impossible for anyone to participate in this project if they are not in fact
looking at the playboy with kate moss and reacting and responding to it. So I
think it would be fascinating to encourage current readers (but also to attract
others - particularly artists who have a preconceived notion as to the
magazine) to look afresh and create something artistic in response. I am simply
presenting the platform for the recognition of the work and trying to encourage
a new way of seeing as we are inundated with the images.
As an example, I have just begun asking a number of
very well known photographers to respond to the project - one a week will be
highlighted, probably starting in the new year. This does not necessarily have
to be the playboy shoot of kate's in particular, but it could be and I could
share that work with you maybe for the playboy site or a blog? Also, flipping
it around where a similar initiative could be undertaken with your
readers I think would be fascinating i.e. we could highlight one reader’s
response to the project each week?
The whole project is collaborative and referential
so I am keen to hear what others think and am completely open to feedback and
ideas.
Best wishes and thanks again for the consideration

Hi,
I don’t think your project is
something we can get involved with, but good luck with it!
