The Power Of One Pink Tutu

Photographer Bob Carey traveled the country to photograph himself in a pink tutu to make his wife smile during her chemo treatments. That's how the tutu project started.

Err.... Tmobile viral? Theres this level of pretentiousness here with the "art" talk, and a sense of performers acting out scenes, and the fact that they talk about how its a phenomenon when most people who live on the internet probably only just heard about it through this.

I am admittedly bitter so could be wrong, but I don't put it past corporations to fake such a thing for an advertisement. It's too easy to manufacture realities today.

This is the project website: http://www.thetutuproject.com/

I've got a couple of thoughts. Firstly, if it's all just a construct of T-mobile, that would be a bit of a shame, but it's still a worthy cause and a useful spin off from the ad.

But I don't think that's the case. I think T-mobile have picked up on a developing project. It's probably a lot bigger amongst circles of people going through chemo than in the general population. I've not seen it before but it wouldn't be as targeted as me. I think a decent ad exec picked up on the project and ran with it. They get a decent feel good ad out of it, and the project gets a decent feel good ad out of it. Exposure for a project like this can be very hard to get so they probably jumped at the chance to get a big organisation involved.

The photos are good too. Whoever took them for whatever reason is good at their job and I can admire the art in them regardless.
