I can't believe I am writing this! I got a call in April and was asked if I wanted to participate in a truly remarkable experience. To start from square one, Mike Colon, someone I have always admired and considered a mentor in this business gave me a call. It was one of those moments that I will always remember because it's not often in life that you get asked to do something of this scope next to someone you have always respected and looked up to. After learning the details, I was beyond floored. Not only are all of these great photographers getting together to help for a remarkable cause, but we are going to be doing three incredible shoots! We are starting off shooting couture gowns by some of the biggest names in the wedding industry for "Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine". After that, we will be documenting and helping with the efforts that Thirst Relief is working toward in Tanzania Africa. Namely bringing clean drinking water to people that have gone without for far too long. Lastly, we will be going on an African safari (bring the big lens boys and girls)!
All but two of the seats are booked for this incredible experience, but there are still two opportunities to participate. One option is via an auction and the second is by raffle. Check out the announcement below for more details.
I will be updating everyone about the trip and can't wait to share more about this awesome experience. Who knows, perhaps you will be one of the people to share it with me.
