HELP PORTRAIT makes national news on CNN
It was exciting to see that HELP PORTRAIT made national news last Sunday. Here in Dayton we delayed our event because several of the photographers had conflicts on 12/12/09. So the HELP PORTRAIT event for Dayton is this weekend 12/19/09 from 10-2 at the Moraine Medows Elementary School, 2600 Holman Street, in Moraine OHIO 45439.
Here is a online video of the news coverage from CNN – HELP PORTRAIT IN THE NEWS
If you know someone who might not be able to afford a portrait for whatever reason, you are welcome to bring them to this event. Military pending a deployment, unemployed, single moms, sickness… whatever. I have a pdf flyer that I can email to you to give out as well. Just email me at peter@photosbydpemott.com and ask for the HELP PORTRAIT flyer.
We will be reporting back to the founder of the event how things go, but they reported this so far from the main date for the event 12/12/09. Events occurred all over the world. We will represent a very tiny part of this here in Dayton this Saturday. If you would like to become involved you can visit our facebook group for the Dayton event here: HELP PORTRAIT Dayton
“In case you are wondering, here are some statistics we are tracking to-date:
- 17,200+ pictures taken
- 1400+ photographers
- 2720+ volunteers
And this is with only 43% of locations reporting.”
Photography and portraits can be powerful in the lives of people. You can be a part of giving to others through photography. Watch the video, come and volunteer, or perhaps bring / invite someone and take your time to help them get there.
There are no strings attached.
