Im hopefully planning on doing some family portraits for people in need, as well as hopefully setting up a Santa type set for a shelter in December. I also volunteer at a shelter downtown who pass out wrapped presents to kids for the holidays and i think it would be a perfect place to do this. Alot of people cant afford the cost of some wallet sized photos with Santa during the holidays, so i hope i can bring some cheer to some kids this Xmas.
any thoughts?
If you would like to help, email me al(at)powersimagery.com
Hi Al Powers,
I think we should all work as a group...strength in numbers.
Where is the shelter downtown? Is it by the row of homeless families and do you have a contact person so we get approval to shoot at that location?
Dan McEllhattan III also has a contact for the homeless downtown...I have a contact for Homeless Teens at the Center for Independent Living (a branch of Help of Southern Nevada). This group is also supported by H.O.P.E. for Homeless Teens. I know they sign release forms and agree to being photographed....also, Circe de Soleil likes to help this group of teens and I have a contact.
I will ask Sam's Club if they want to sponsor and process the pics at no cost. And contact the group in charge of Homeless Teens...to get the ball rolling.
We are one of the most popular cities in the world with one of the highest homeless rates too. I believe we could set the bar on this project <3
