a note from one of my favorite photographers...

Some info off of Jessica Claire's blog about a program called Through Their Eyes -

From Jessica's blog...
"My good friend David Hessemer is doing a blogathon TODAY for his "Through Their Eyes" Africa project. He is going to be taking a team (myself and David Jay included) to Africa next year to areas where all the adults have died and the children are more or less on their own with little aid. In addition to helping the people living there, we will also be teaching them to take photographs, in the hope of giving them a skill as well as to be able to see the world the way they see it. The photographs they take will be formed into a traveling exhibit all over the country.

It's really a fantastic project, however, it needs funding to make it happen! Today and tomorrow we are running a blogathon to make that happen. The link where you go to donate and learn more about the project is:

As an added incentive--ANYONE who donates or puts this post on their own blog can be entered to win a SHOOTSAC!! Just leave a comment below to let me know that you donated, or a link to your blog post if you posted, and make sure to put in your email address. I will picking one winner and sending your shootsac off to you tomorrow!"

Not only do I think this is an amazing project (love that he is teaching them photography) but I am in desperate need of one of Jessica's shootsac bags and would do anything to get my hands on one!
