“I think it is important for young people to be aware of the need we have in this country to get them more active politically,” says Alba. “People respond to things that are shocking.”
The dramatic image “really resonates” with the issue of voting, according to the 27-year-old star. “If you don’t register and vote and make a difference, and hopefully change the bad things that are happening in our country, you are essentially just binding and muzzling yourself.”
Of taking the photos, shot by photographer Marc Liddel, Alba says, “It didn’t freak me out at all. What I like about Marc’s work is that he tells a story and brings real emotion to his pictures.”
In case you were curious, if you intend to vote in the next presidential election (and I hope you do intend to do so), you need to be registered at least thirty days before Election Day, November 4, 2008. Go to the Declare Yourself website to start the registration process.
