Found another little bag of these in a clearout the other day and thought I might revive this small project, whose 2007 results I fear may now be lost on an ancient server in someone’s airing cupboard. I will look for them, though. Must be on a drive somewhere..

So, the promise remains. I’ll send out a badge/button whatever-you-call-it to anyone who asks – in exchange all you have to do is post a photo of yourself wearing it in public, or on your camera bag, somewhere, anywhere, you know the drill.

Some useful links include The Against Censorship Campaign, the mighty Index on Censorship and of course Irrepressible. You can broadcast censored speech from irrepressible.org on your own website using one of their marvelous widgets.Similar Posts:

Mr P adds a succinct suggestion from Stoke-on-Trent to the schwagging metameme. Thanks, Andy. I’ve a few more of these ready to upload as time allows. The badges are still trickling out, which is how we like it. Let me know if you want one.

I’m testing Lightbox. If you click on the image, you get a bigger one without navigating away from this page. Just click on the little X in the top right hand corner to revert to the page view. Please let me know if it looks weird to you, or doesn’t work, or whatever. Thanks to Alex for this!

And I’ve added an ‘Allies’ category to my Links list on the right. They’re all people I know, who have helped in some way. Not all of them photographers, there are some resource links and so on, but most are. If you’re not on the list, and you think you should be, just give me a nudge.Similar Posts:

If you want one of these badges, just mail me your address, and then post a link to a photo of you wearing it in the comments section here or here. I’ll be posting the occasional metameme mosaic when I get nine nice ones. Thank you all!Similar Posts:
