My goal is to spread love throughout the world and fill each dot above with a photo and personal quote.
Please join us! With a donation as little as $1 you get to be part of The 30Love constellation! Only 6 days left!

Thanks Neighborhoodr!
Hi! My name is Lisa Wiseman, I’m a photographer and I live in Potrero Hill. I created The 30Love to mark my 30th birthday.
The 30Love is a worldwide charitable photography project benefiting GLIDE in San Francisco. My goal is to raise $30,000 in 30 days by engaging participants with technology and photography and by asking them to think about what love means to them. The project ends in 12 days so please help us meet the goal!
We honed the concept over time and built an unique interactive photography constellation as the vehicle by which users engage with The 30Love participants. By zooming in you can play with the constellation. Once zoomed in far enough, you can click on any photo and you’ll be able to view that user’s photo, name, location and quote about what love means to them. In this way, The 30Love is a global time-capsule of what love means.
Please join us (and the constellation) to make the project a huge success!

LISA WISEMAN’S COOL BIRTHDAY PROJECT:
“The 30Love is a project I created to mark my 30th birthday. The 30Love is a worldwide charitable photography project asking everyone around the globe:“What does love mean to you?”My goal is to raise $30,000 in 30 days for GLIDE, a charity serving the poor and homeless in San Francisco whose core belief is that unconditional love breaks the cycles of poverty and marginalization. The 30Love website holds a beautiful interactive constellation representing each one of these 30Love participants, their own portrait, and their thoughts on love.”
Hi Tumblrites!
Please make my 30th birthday wish come true by donating $10 to my photography project, The 30Love.
If each of you, my faithful followers, contributed $10 and joined the constellation you would make my wish come true to raise $30k in 30 days for charity. There are only 16 days left to make it happen!
Please help me help others. The 30Love is a worthy cause!
Thanks,
Lisa

JONATHAN CHERRY: What got you started with photography?
LISA WISEMAN: Photography is like breathing for me! I’ve done every kind of art under the sun and when my middle school put me in a photography class at age 12; I was hooked. My first teacher, Mark Wachter, took extra care to nurture the small group of us who were really excited about shooting, even creating for us a special extra photography class that didnt really exist at our school. Those first classes were not about executing assignments so I learned how wonderful and freeing shooting can be.
JC: Any emerging artists inspiring you at the moment?
LW: Oh yes! Some in particular I’ve love recently are Dusdin Condren, Rus Anson and Shen Wei.
JC: What’s your current project all about?
LW: My current project is The 30Love. It just went live yesterday and so far it’s shaping up well!
In short, I created The 30Love to mark my 30th birthday. It is a worldwide charitable photography project benefiting GLIDE, a charity serving the poor and homeless in San Francisco whose core believe is that unconditional love breaks the cycles of poverty and marginalization. My goal is to raise $30,000 in 30 days by engaging participants with technology and photography and by asking them to think about what love means to them at age 30. We’ve built a beautiful interactive photography constellation as the vehicle by which viewers engage with The 30Love participants.
In addition, I photographed a series of portraits of GLIDE staff, clients and founders/executives to accompany The 30Love which you can see here. I have two planned upcoming exhibits of The 30Love photography series in San Francisco for later this year.
JC: Where are you currently living and how is it shaping you?
LW: I was born and raised in the Bay Area and I live in San Francisco. I’m quite lucky to still live near friends and family in a place this beautiful. Plus, the light in San Francisco is really something else!
JC: One piece of advice to recent photography graduates?
LW: Shoot all the time! Give yourself a rough schedule and stick to it: try something like “I’ll do one personal shoot and prepare images for critique with friends every 2 weeks” That gives you ongoing work to look at, sift through, show to people, keep or discard. You can never be emotionally attached to your work. Also, thinking of yourself as a business person and an artist is the best way I know of to balance creativity and necessary logistics of running a small business.
JC: Any big plans for 2012?
LW: More shooting!
JC: Favourite tree?
LW: Ponderosa Pine.
