Diary Entry #12: I am...Beth Gargan
Hi there! I am Beth Gargan, PR Manager for The Vote Against Project. You’d think it would be easy for me to write a blog entry. I have two degrees in journalism. I have been working in public relations for over 20 years. Basically, I make my living writing and talking and telling people’s stories. I even started my own blog a few months ago. But I’ve been putting this off for weeks and...

Boyfriend, Mack Nance Jr. and Jenna Bailey
Hello all, My name is Jenna Bailey and I am the official Vote Against Best Friend Forever! Ok, not technically official, but it’s what I like to call myself, even if no one else does. When I heard about the Vote Against Project, I knew it was going to be amazing. I have been best friends with Lydia since about 1997. And Carl and I have known each...

Diary Entry #11: How the Magic Happens!
A lot of people have been asking me how I go about editing the photos. Now you get a first hand look at the process, and all the love that I put in to every photo just for you! Hope you enjoy this peek behind the scenes! So far I have photographed over 2,000 people! What an amazing feat for only a month and a half of shooting. My goal was 5,000 from the start, never thinking that it would...

A message from Curtis Brown: Fear not!
Due to the disgusting pass of the Wake County Resolution in favor of the Amendment…I am heading to the studio tonight, on my night off and plan to edit 300 images that PROVE TO THEM, that there are more people AGAINST this amendment than they realize…
VOTE AGAINST on MAY 8th. Don’t let this resolution be discouraging but INSPIRING, to prove them wrong. Let’s work hard,...

Diary Entry #10: I am...Justin Frechette
Howdy!
I am Justin Frechette, Email Marketing Manager for The Vote Against Project.
When asked to write a blog post for the campaign, I was excited and terrified all at the same time. You see, I’ve never been much of a writer and as a perfectionist I start about a dozen drafts and then delete them all with no finished product.
So, I sat down and thought, “What would you want to know about...

Q: Tell us a little bit about yourselves
A: Shari was adopted by a Jewish family from Brooklyn, NY where she spent most of her youth. She made the move down south to NC to attend Elon University. I, on the other hand….am a southern girl! Born in San Antonio, TX and raised most of my life in NC, ironically by an...

Diary Entry #9: I am...Lauren Parker
Hey y’all, it’s Lauren, the Volunteer Coordinator for the Vote Against Project. This post is supposed to be an intro to me, so here we go.
I am… a daughter, a hugger, a Durham native (Bulls up!), a sister, a bestie, a singer, a gym rat, a dance-while-cleaning-the-house-er, a Tarheel, and PISSED!
See that photo, do I look happy? If you had to fight hypocrisy and...

Diary Entry #8: Putting It Together
Now that you’ve gotten a glimpse from Carl on the Vote Against Project’s branding, I thought I’d shed some more light on the early days of our brainstorming and answer a few questions we seem to get a lot from folks on the road.
Curtis brought folks together a few months ago to help him think through ideas for a photography project relate to the amendment fight in NC. Naturally, as a photographer,...

Diary Entry #7: Making the Brand
When I was tasked with creating the visual identity for The Vote Against Project, to be honest, I was more than a bit intimidated. I’ve designed many things for many people, from logos to pamphlets, from tshirts to posters, but I’ve never been handed the keys to something SO important to so many people. There was a passion in the room at those early meetings that I’d never felt before. These...
