M.I.L.K.

Moments of Intimacy, Laughter, and Kinship

That's the acronym for the M.I.L.K. Project, a photographic competition originally held in 1999 by a British publisher. It was a landmark event in the photography world, I've learned, with over 40,000 entries, including those from several Pulitzer prize winners. In the end 300 photos on friendship, family, and love were chosen from around the world and published in a set of three books. There was also an international exhibition that kicked off in Grand Central Station in 2001.

To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the undertaking, they're publishing a new book this fall, with 150 images, titled Fresh M.I.L.K.: Friends, Families, Lovers, and Laughter.

Apparently, it's kind of a big deal.

Apparently, my daughter is going to be in it.

Remember these photos? This one was submitted and chosen.

Wicked, huh? The Papoose is gonna be famous!
