Project Bear:

A series of pictures depicting the Bears of Manchester, from chaser, cub, pup, bear, daddy, trans, chub, muscle and all that's in between... Application Here: http://goo.gl/forms/AXZSqZiy6c The premise of the event is to celebrate the diversity within the community here in Manchester (and beyond if people are interested) I'm looking for volunteers to come have their photo taken (in clothing of their own choice) to show the different looks of what Bears and Manchester is. This scene is diverse. Manchester is unique in the fact is HAS a dedicated gay village localised to a small area, and the scene that has built around it. Love it or loathe it for years it has given a save space for men, women, (and those to yet make up their minds) to come out and have fun. The Bear scene itself has fluxiated in size, has found homes in bars and men's spaces, where guys can feel comfortable without judegment. I want to celebrate THAT. The people involved, those that go out, those that take part. From EVERY walk of life that comes into that Bear Scene. To celebrate the stereotype, (expect flannel) to demonstrate the diversity, to break the walls, and show what an amazing bunch of people we have in this city.. (You can throw up now) I'm looking for guys to model, as well as photogrpahers willing to get behind the camera. Be great to see what different styles and looks can be depicted. BRING YOUR OWN GEAR / CLOTHING, stuff that you are comforatble in and willing to be photgraphed in. This can be leather, flannel, rubber, pup, casual, etc etc etc The pictures will be for you, the photographers, and me to use to promote the bear scene. We will be making an online gallery and if possible get a few printed up for the Bear Bash Event in May to display around celebrating the scene. This event is FREE. If you plan to attend please fill in the attached google form so we can make sure there is ample time for everyone who wants to be involved. Location is based in Moodybear studio, and we have to set up studios, and possible access to more room if the numbers dictate it. I'll be forever grateful to anyone and everyone who is wiling to be involved. http://goo.gl/forms/AXZSqZiy6c
