Introduction

Hello and welcome to the Bristol edition of Help-Portrait.  If you don't know by now, Help-Portrait is a gang of photographers giving back to local communities by finding a place in underprivileged neighborhoods (think local community centers or local churches or local shelters or ...), dragging their lights, backdrops and camera gear to the location and setting up.  Now here's the fun part... the local community is invited to come in and get a little something to eat, maybe have their hair styled,  make-up put on, and set before a professional photographer to have their portrait(s) taken.  AND IT'S ALL FOR FREE -- at least to them, we may have to spend a little sumpin to make this all happen.  The event date is December 10, 2011 and free photos will be flying out of printers all over the world in unison.

 

Anyway, here's a little more detail about the event.  The kind folks at Freedom Neighborhood One has granted us privilege to use their large facility to do our thang.  The address is 1248 Marie Lowe Drive, Bristol, Pa. and you will enter in on the perpendicular street Shumacher (the  big blue building). 

 

I will use this page to communicate about anything new (or just to see who's still paying attention) so check back regularly.

The building poster is here. YAY!  (don't know why it's rotated like that but you get the idea...)

The Help-Portrait event is December 10, 2011.  Location is not determined yet but I'm working to get the community center in Green Lawn Park.  If that doesn't work out, I'll look to the churches in the area.  I think 10am to 2pm is a good time to start and finish.

 

We need as much help as possible; greeters and organizers, photographers with their own equipment (backgrounds and lights), and person to manage the printers.  If you know of friends looking to give back to a community, please ask them to join us.

 

I hope to make this a great beginning for this area.

 

Welcome.

 

Donna
