The 2:46 Quakebook project started with a tweet. It rapidly grew, and has beocme a way that we could help all those hit by the the March 11th, 2011 earthquake and its aftermath.
Led by Our Man In Abiko, a call went out across Twitter for contributors to create a book to raise funds for Red Cross Japan. The idea was to share the stories and experiences of people actually on the ground during the earthquake.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by this event; from those directly in the earthquake zone, the path of the tsunami, in the evacuation area around the nuclear power plant in Fukushima, to those in many other areas of Japan, whose lives have been disrupted by rolling power blackouts, poor road conditions, food and water supply difficulties, and more.
The contributions in 2:46 Aftershocks have come from a wide variety of sources, and include photographs, personal accounts, drawings; each telling their own tale.
All revenues from sales of the book go directly to Red Cross, Japan. We urge you to buy the book, buy a copy as a gift, promote it, share it, tweet about it, review it, blog about it, link to it, etc.
Not convinced yet? Read some excerpts.
The tale of the evolution of QuakeBook can be found under the hashtag #quakebook on Twitter.

On March 11, 2011 a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck the north of Japan. In the wake of one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in the history of Japan, a state of nuclear emergency was declared, forcing the evacuation of thousands more.
The world watched, stunned.
We wanted to…

iPhoneographer of the Week - Daniele Martire | @MD_photography
I have long since admired Daniele Martire’s work. He loves to capture people and things in a non traditional ways, sometimes adding a clever typographical message. Daniele does a great job of sticking to what he knows best, that being the lomo and analog look that his Helga gives him. Look out for Daniele in the near future as he will be producing two exhibitions perhaps, dedicating one to his mobile photography.
(in dreams begin responsibilities)
And now Daniele in his own words….
