Coffee travels

I would like to trace the travel of coffee from a micro-lot in South America to a small local coffee shop in my hometown of Denver.

I would chronicle the life of a coffee bean from its harvesting in a micro-lot in South America to its being consuming as a drink in some small coffee shop in America. I would photograph the steps in process, as well as the people involved. Many coffee lovers aren't aware of this whole process. They also aren't aware the role that coffee plays in the life of people who bring it to us. I would show, not only how we get coffee, but how important it is economically to so many people.

I love the idea of following a product from start to finish. As consumers, we don't really think about where our food comes from. This would be a great project to show that process. You have my vote! Good luck!

I lived in Costa Rica for awhile and really got to know the people who work so hard for companies like Dole and Starbucks and their lives need to be documented. Please check out my project that has to do with saving marriages!

Good ideas like yours that are not in the Top 100 are nearly impossible to find. This is unfair as many great ideas are hidden. Those of us in the “Sub-100” should work together to promote the best projects of the Sub-100 so that they can be in the Top 100 and be seen. Please vote for best Sub-100s!

You might even be able to get funding from starbucks for this. I'm voting for you -- feel free to return the favor and vote for my project on land seizures, political upheaval and the overall struggles of daily life in Zimbabwe.

most of the projects here are documentary assignments, and most of the judges are documentary photographs. I believe in my project, but I don't think I have a chance, coz my project is more conceptual. Anyways.. good luck with yours!
