Collect.Give Book: A Wonderful Collaboration

For Collect.Give's next release, Heidi Romano (Unless You Will) designed a beautiful book- a compilation of all the prints offered for sale by the first 50 photographers involved in this project.

Also featured are essays written by Crista Dix (Wall Space Gallery), Darius Himes (Radius Books), Rachel Hulin, Miki Johnson, Larissa LeClair (Indie Photobook Library), Wally Mason, George Slade, Amy Stein, Alison Zavos (Feature Shoot) and Lisa Hostetler.

The book is available for sale at Magcloud and the proceeds will go to Heidi's charity, The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

I am honored to be a part of this wonderful collaboration. My print, After the Birthday Party is one of the photographs featured in the book.

Three more prints are left for sale and I am truly excited that I am very close to my goal. Thank you so much to those who have helped me get this far. The holidays are around the corner and my wish is to donate the funds to The Guidance Center by the end of the year. I hope you will consider purchasing one for yourself and/or as a gift to your friends and family.

I've been meaning to share this post at Lenscratch except it happened on the same day the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. I thought it best to wait. Thank you Aline Smithson and Kevin Miyazaki!

For those who missed the show in Manila at the Silverlens Gallery two years ago, here is another chance to see the Family Spaces project again. My dad brought up the idea of hanging the pieces in an alternative location: a rented office space by a start up company that had empty walls. Here are the details:
