    Help w getting a MacArthur Grant

    This year's grants are:

    http://www.macfound.org/site/c.lkLXJ...6_Overview.htm

    For next year I would really like to get one. Perhaps someone here could nominate me and then I could nominate them in 2008? We could all work together for the common good

    sadly not possible...:

    we limit our consideration only to those who have been nominated by someone from our constantly changing pool of invited external nominators. Applications or unsolicited nominations are not accepted.

    but there have been a few photogrpahers who are Fellows - e.g. Lee Friedlander, Robert Adams, Cindy Sherman, Susan Meiselas...
    You'd be amazed how small the demand is for pictures of trees... - Fred Astaire to Audrey Hepburn

    Two members of my extended family have had them, it hasn't done me any good.
    Thanks,

    Three people from my current institution just got them.

    I'd be ok with a $250,000 MacArthur 'above average' award in lieu of the $500,000 'genius' grant.

    I want one, I want one.

    Does the MacArthur Foundation have a million dollar dummy grant? "Cause I'm not smart enough to do anything with 250K.

    Ha ha ha.
