Prehistoric sites and Sacred sites are honestly one of my many interests in life. and also consist of the many places that I would like to visit. Many of these sites are considered sacred for various reasons, but the overall grandeur and mysticism that is present within these sites make them all the more awe. and why many people travel to these locations still – till this very day.<\/p>\n

Today’s KickStart Me! Features a project which seeks to capture the essence of such sights and share them with the world. Many of these sites are in which, more than likely unheard of, especially within the Western World. I’m stoked to share this one with you all today, so let’s jump into it!<\/p>\n

The Legacy Project<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jason Friend is a photographer based out of the UK who holds great interest in prehistoric sites. The Legacy Project stands as his not-for-profit journey to capture the sacred essence of several stone remain prehistoric sites which are present across the British Isles. “Ancient stone circles are a remarkable legacy of Neolithic Britain, their shadowy origins stirring the hushed whispers of fables and legends throughout the ages.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Aside from Jason’s hopes to bring awareness and attention to these magnificent sites, his goal with The Legacy Project is to also provide a more emotional experience to those of view the photos, and hopes for the “ancient spirit of the landscape to wash over you<\/em>” ultimately in hopes for you to envision yourself becoming one with the sites as a whole. In hopes of capturing this feel and emotion, the entire project is being shot using black and white infrared cameras.<\/p>\n

When viewing The Legacy Project and it’s portfolio, you’ll notice that many of the projects shorts were taken in Ireland, which ended up being the choice for majority of the projects captured images in 2015. Jason expresses how well-preserved and photo-fitting the Ireland sites were for the project, while at the same time, somewhat hard to access. Despite Jason being unable to capture all of the sites he had initially wished to capture back in 2015, he hopes to return to Ireland once again this Summer to capture the essence of the Emerald Isles Stone Circles as well as other prehistoric sites.<\/p>\n

Despite having not many concerns regarding funding for The Legacy Project aside from travel costs, Jason has set up several reward tiers for those who decide to contribute to the project, with even the smallest donation tier receiving a reward for their contribution. You can check out some of the reward tiers and what they contain after the break!<\/p>\n
