Christmas Project
Dear Sfogato Society Friends,
Every year we make something special for Christmas / Holidays time. This year we would like to make a short movie showing the lights and Christmas decorations in big cities and capitals of the world. The goal of the project is to show the special atmosphere of the Holidays time. If you live in a big city could you please send us a few photos (in a high resolution taken by night or during the day, as regards the decorations) from the City Center to show how your city celebrates this special time. Maybe in your city there is some special decoration e.g. like in Lisbon. As we are non-profit organization we won't make any money from this project and won't sell the photos!
Hope to get many photos from you!
If possible, please send them till December 20, 2011 at:
