Snap a day in the life

Monklands snappers are being invited to help develop a unique social experiment by one of the UK’s multi-award winning photographers.

Mark Waugh is inviting amateur photographers and smartphone owners to grab their cameras next Saturday, April 7, to help “capture the streets and spirit of Glasgow over the course of 24 hours”.

Called ‘A Day In The Life’, the social experiment will bring together thousands of images and, throughout the day, viewers can watch the activity unfold as the snaps are uploaded to Instagram @cartridge_save.

Afterwards, the photos will be printed out and transformed into a piece of art by a renowned artist, to provide a permanent testimony of this day in history.

Mark, whose work has been recognised at the prestigious Press Photographer of the Year awards and has appeared in the Advertiser’s sister title the Daily Mirror, said: “Taking my camera to the streets and capturing the world pass by is one of the best ways to capture a city’s personality.

“There is no other type of photography like it, as the snapshots of real life can’t be reproduced.

“People of all ages can get involved, from tech savvy kids with smartphones to amateurs with the most professional kit.

“Each of their pictures will have its own story to tell, and all will be commemorated into a unique piece of art. “This is something really special to be a part of.” ● To get involved, go to www. cartridgesave.co.uk/printwhatmatters/aditlglasgow
