In August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, wrote to his former slave, Jourdan Anderson, and requested that he come back to work on his farm.

"If you die after selling between 250 million and 700 million records you’ll be on the front page of every newspaper while the entire world mourns.
If you die after saving between 250 million and 700 million people from starvation, your death notice will be somewhere near the classifieds section."

Don't just take a picture, give a picture. Essentially, an initiative to ask photographers to set up and take pictures of folks so they'll have a great picture of themselves to use.
