"A Message for Obama" collaborative photo book published

Includes messages from people worldwide


20 January 2009 13:22 GMT / By Verity Burns

A collaboration between Blurb, The Guardian and Flickr has seen the launch of a commemorative book that captures the many different and personal reactions to the election of president Obama.

"A Message for Obama" was formed following a collaborative photo project, which saw The Guardian newspaper's website asking internet users to share their personal messages for Obama, whatever it was. All people had to do to participate was take a photograph, and post it on photo-sharing site Flickr.

The project, say the collaboration, was inspired by Barack Obama's use of the Internet in his campaign to become president, and sees people sharing their hopes, fears, passion and creativity from all over the world.

Blurb have published the book and it is available to buy from its website now, starting at $19.95.
