Cross Post from WWP list written by: Pat Swovelin World Wide Panorama Event Coordinator
The theme for the WWP 2012 year-long event is "Culture".
"Everything started in Greece…" said the spokesman at the opening ceremony of the European Capital of Culture 2012 in Maribor, Slovenia. There was a short silence in the audience then the spokesman continued "…and thanks to Melina Mercouri, former actress and Greece’s Minister of Culture, who got with her French counterpart, Jack Lang, in 1985 and formulated the idea of cultural capitals by designating an annual Capital of Culture to bring Europeans closer together by highlighting the richness and diversity of European cultures." In 2012 the Capitals of Culture are Guimarães, Portugal and Maribor, Slovenia.
But culture didn’t start in Greece, it has existed since the start of human society. Culture is the product of the relationship among the people of an extended group, how they treat each other and themselves. How polite they are or how merciless they can be. As much as human societies are varied around Gaia so are the various cultures and culture is changing with time, faster in some societies slower in others. Street photography can very quickly capture what kind of culture is in certain geographic area, but is that true? Not very much anymore. Now we can find people wearing Nike or Adidas shoes or T-shirts everywhere, even in tropical forests on the equator or in the deserts of Arabia. Yes, globalization is hiding the street culture and making it uniform. It is the same way with food. The way we prepare and consume food is also a part of our culture and that, too, is being changed by globalization.
Confused, about my not mentioning art, museums, rock concerts, the classics, libraries, architecture, heritage, or cemeteries? The way we treat and respect our ancestors is a big part of the world's culture too. Culture has many different meanings, so feel free with your interpretation of it. Try finding the lost cultures in your area or find the same global culture across different geographical locations. This is a year-long event and you have a opportunity to find 4 “cultures” and present them to the world. Culture is in your hands — panography is a part of culture too.
Because this is a year-long event you can submit up to 4 different panoramas. You may upload any or all of them during any quarterly event.
The official shooting period started Sunday night/Monday morning January 1st at 00:00 (technically 00:00:01 since there is no 00:00) and ends Monday night December 31st at 24:00. The open editing period coincides with each of the 4 quarterly events' editing period. All times are local to where you are when you shoot it and where you are when you edit it (if you happen to be traveling across time zones).
2012 WWP 'Culture' Jan 1 to Dec 31 Quarterly
"Heritage"... still four (4) days time for the photography. Have you got some panoramas of "Forest" or "Culture" locations? Don't hesitate, write a text and upload all together to WWP. Are you new to panography? Here is more about WWP: http://www.worldwidepanorama.org/worldw ... Event.html ,...the educational and not commercial project since March 2004. It is "clean", simple and free... something to be a heritage...

Just a reminder about the upcoming WWP event “Necessity”… 2012
"What is a necessity? It seems that it is a very subjective comprehension which depends of the culture, mental perception, living standard, time frame... but we can all agree that some basics are common to all of us: drinking water, not polluted air, healthy food, love, compassion... but do we all really have all that? Find what is a necessity to you, something what you can not live without, reveal your “necessity” and share it with us. Here are some definitions of “necessity”: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/necessity
The time for a photography related to “Necessity” is going to start on Saturday, September 15th (00:00:01) and end in Sunday 23rd. (23:59:59)+/- 00:00:01
.
You are going to have a chance to upload also your panoramas for all year events “Culture” (http://www.worldwidepanorama.org/worldw ... index.html ) and “Forest” (http://www.worldwidepanorama.org/worldw ... index.html ).
