Launched during January 2012, The 100 Project aims to collect photographs from persons of every age, from 1 to 100, within a year. The project is the brainchild of Mathew Knight, who also created the Disposable Memory Project. During this “social” experiment, Knight distributed 410 disposable cameras throughout his town to allow strangers to shoot with them. Only 30 cameras were retrieved, but the results were still interesting.

For The 100 Project, participants must register and will then be given a camera to use and return. Knight has already received images from a one-year-old. One of her photos is of a peacock in a park, but the angle from which the one-year-old shot it is lower than the peacock’s height.
