‘The Happiness Scrapbook’ is a social media campaign aiming to create a more positive online experience for all. Formed in 2017 the virtual scrapbook has just finished its second photo series - ‘The Pursit of happiness’ based in the USA. Back in Ireland for another series of photos Mark Quinn, creator and moderator had this to say:“I have found social media to be one of the most negative impacts on mental health - particularly for people my age. Accepting the fact that it is unlikey to go away, I decided to do something about it and create a more positive atmosphere online - for all. I have loved travelling around and taking people’s photos but I am most grateful and encouraged by people’s answers. Of course a pattern begins to develop with responses but what I love most is getting a quote that is so unique and personal it surprises me. I am immensly proud of how the project has grown and how much happinessI have gained - and hopefully created along the way!” For anyone who has their portrait taken all it involves is one minute, one signature, one photo and one question: “What makes you happy?” Example: “Footering about with my old tools. Searching around for old tools to pick up. Collecting them, for me, is like going back in time.It takes a lot of stress away and I feel quite content with my projects. I come out here and if the radio is going I’ll be singing along with it in my own way.My father used to say ‘Be nice to old people cause if you live you’ll soon be one’. Time flies. It’s only a blink really. It makes me happy to look back.”
