KNOW WAR

ATTENTION EVERYONE WITH STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT THIS WAR,


On Saturday, June 3rd photographer Zach Gold will be making a single
photograph of the exact number of Americans that have died in Iraq. 'Know War'
aims to depict the human cost of the Iraq War by transforming the American
death toll into a visible reality. The photograph will be created so that
it can stay up to date with the casualty number until the war is over.
Please join us and 2,500 other concerned citizens, veterans, students,
activists, and military families on June 3, to remember those we have lost.

'Know War' will be shooting the Iraq War Memorial on Saturday June 3, from 2pm
- 6pm. The location is Mystery Mesa, Santa Clarita, California. Please
bring lunch, an ample supply of water, and sunscreen. Once everyone is
gathered on location, it is anticipated the shoot will take less than three
hours. Please wear solid colors in neutral, earthy tones, and try to avoid
wearing white, bright or wildly patterned clothes. This request is in an
effort to homogenize the color and tone of the subjects to be photographed.
Also, please wear comfortable shoes.

Those interested in participating in the project can sign up on our website,
Know War If you wish to represent your
organization and publicly distribute information while you're there, we will
have a tent set up for representatives. Please contact Ann Malinowsky,

Lastly, we kindly request that you FORWARD this to anyone you think might be
interested in helping us accomplish this historic project. Please send any

Imagine a photograph of more than 2,400 Americans strewn across a vast, desiccated expanse of desert. Know War is an ambitious non-profit project that aims to depict the human cost of the Iraq War by transforming the casualty number into a visible reality. This undertaking by renowned photographer, Zach Gold, will create an image that makes death come to life.
Know War intends to raise continued public awareness by enabling people to visually understand the American death toll. There has been overwhelmingly positive response so far, including veterans associations across the country, necessary vendors to execute a project of this size, as well as many individual volunteers. Dialogue has also begun with high-level advertising executives to aid in creating an ongoing public campaign. But Know War needs more help. We seek subjects for the photograph, volunteers to assist in organizing, food vendors, and everyone who stands for an end to this war.
The shoot date for this project is June 3, 2006 from 2pm - 6pm, the location is Mystery Mesa, Santa Clarita, California. Both a 30-second Public Service Announcement and a documentary will be developed in tandem with the photo shoot.
