ONE of the UK’s multi-award winning photographer's is calling on the people of Glasgow to join him on a unique social experiment to capture the streets and spirit of Glasgow over the course of 24-hours.
Mark Waugh is inviting amateur photographers and Smartphone snappers city-wide to grab their cameras on Saturday, April 7 to capture what Glasgow looks like in 2018.
The project called, A Day In The Life, is a social experiment hoping to bring together thousands of images of the people and unique places that make Glasgow tick - from buskers to office workers, students, sports fans, skateboarders, OAPs, tourists and more.
Throughout the day viewers can watch the activity unfold, as the pictures are uploaded to Instagram @cartridge_save.
Afterwards, the images 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 Press Photographer of the Year awards said: “I love Glasgow, it’s one of the most vibrant and friendliest cities in the UK.
"There is so much to capture from the stunning architecture to the legendary nightlife and beautiful surrounding landscapes.
“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.”
Inspired by the blog, Humans Of New York, which has 7.7 million Instagram followers and 18 million Facebook followers, this definitive snapshot of Glasgow is the idea of UK-wide company cartridgesave.co.uk
Ian Cowley, Managing Director said: “We’re so busy trying to get from A to B or transfixed on our screens that we rarely take a moment to look up and take in the world around us.
"A Day In The Life intends will capture forever a snapshot of life in Glasgow, so we can immortalise the people, the places and the memories in art.”
