Bringing the Monkey House to life
I would like to produce one key scene from each story of Kurt Vonnegut's book "Welcome to the Monkey House".
My dream photo project is in homage to my favorite author, Kurt Vonnegut.
His short story book “Welcome to the Monkey House” was written in 1968. The stories range from war-time epics to love stories to futuristic thrillers, given with satire and Vonnegut's unique edge. The stories are often inter-twined and convey the same underlying messages on human nature and present society. Despite being written over 40 years ago, the messages still ring true today.
My dream job is to go though each story and represent the story in a photograph. This includes scouting locations, finding talent, hair & make-up with costume design. These are for no other reason then to bring to life work of an author that has touched many lives.

most of the projects here are documentary assignments, and most of the judges are documentary photographs. I believe in my project, but I don't think I have a chance, coz my project is more conceptual. Anyways.. good luck with yours!

Good idea, check out mine and vote for me if you like it. Its about poverty and society in 3rd world countries and how they are controlled, devastated by their governments and western industrialized nations.
