Too often I find myself worrying about the small things. Too often I worry about the big things. Too often I find myself putting away my loved ones neatly on a shelf, “Don’t worry I’ll come back to you just as soon as I finish this project, or album, or homework.” Too often I find myself barely holding my head above water.
Recently it has been far too often that I have seen my family, my neighbors, my friends struggling and putting what truly matters in life away on a shelf. Our current __________ state is in “crisis.” Whatever you chose to fill in the blank or however you define crisis there is an area in your life that you have been putting away on a shelf.
I am begging you to pull whoever or whatever that is off the shelf and come acknowledge its importance with me. Be it your family, your new home, your friends, your favorite book, your favorite type of dance, your favorite person, or yourself.
I would like to show my son that even when we have rainy days, and when we can barely hold our heads above water that there is still room for love. That love is truly more important than work, despite the financial stability it can bring.
I am offering up my photography services for free to those who are currently struggling. I am asking YOU to nominate these people, even nominate yourself! These well deserving people must have been truly affected by the current economy along the lines of a loss of home, the loss of a job, or even those who are just plain struggling. If you would otherwise not be able to afford full coverage for your wedding or an album this contest is for you. Here is what I am offering:
1 Wedding and 1 portrait session
The Wedding includes:
Up to 10 hours of coverage
A second shooter
All images on a DVD
All images hosted online
A 20 page 10×10 leather album
The portrait session includes:
A 3 hour portrait session
All images on a DVD
All images hosted online
A 20 page 8×8 leather album
I am asking you to tell their (or your own) story via photos, video, or in writing. I would love to hear details of your big day, or your portrait session. All entries must include a photo of the person entering or being nominated as well as a valid email address. Approach your friends and neighbors, anyone who you truly think this would benefit! All entries are due by March 21st, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. The winners will be announced the following week March 28th by 11:59 p.m. The coverage must be scheduled between now and December 31st 2010.
And since it is never too often for an image, here are a few I took of my E while it was raining last week
