Much like when Katrina happened, watching the news covering the horrible situation in Haiti saddens and frustrate me. There are so many brave men and women helping on the front lines that simply writing a check seems inadequate. I want to pick up all those kids on the streets, bring them home, give them a warm place to stay, some clothes and a big huge hug and tell them that it will all be ok, somehow. But I can't do that, so I am limited to using what I have to try and make a difference from my part of the world.
You may notice a theme in my blog. Not only do I want to use my camera to take pictures of families, but I also want to use it to help. Whether it be a family who has fallen upon hard times, soliciting votes for a disabled little boy or helping out in the Lincoln Heights area of Washington DC. Providing pictures is a way that I can give back and hopefully provide something for someone that they wouldn't have otherwise. I thought long and hard about how I could use my camera to help the victims of the tragic earthquake in Haiti. As a result, I am choosing to team up with photographers all over the world in an effort to raise funds for Haiti and here is what is in it for you:
You could win a photo session at a location of your choice:
