Help-Portrait- Photographers giving

Our community of photographers just finished the local rendition of a World-Wide movement Called Help-Portrait. On December 12th 2009 portrait photographers all over the world gathered in their communities to photograph families and individuals that otherwise might never have a nicely made portrait of themselves. Here in Fort Collins about 15 photographers and another 15 or so volunteers joined together at Every Day Joe's Coffee House and spent the day making pictures. 8x10 prints will be provided to all the familes that came out to enjoy a small part of their day with us. Giving back feels good, and as a bonus, friendships have been made within the photographic community. I teamed up with Brent Yoder (Capturesqe Photography) from 8 to 1:30. When I left for another commitment, Matt Dickstein (duke PHOTO) took my place with Brent to finish out the day till 5:30 PM. I want to thank Brent for his long day of hard work. Thank you to Sarah Boyd (PHOTO DENOVO) for organizing the Fort Collins event, and for managing a herd of photog's throughout the day.
