HELP PORTRAIT TOMORROW---
SOME WORDS of GRATITUDE
We are only a day away from yet another beautiful, exciting, stressful, yet rewarding Help-Portrait event. I wanted to take some time and thank all the volunteers for you commitment and especially to the Lead Organizers of each site, your leadership is amazing. White light and positive energy to you all. Can't wait to hear about the transformative power photography will have on the lives of our people.
Onward!
-Will Salomon Orellana

This is NYC folks! We only have four sites. Please feel free to connect with other photographers, organizations, churches etc... and have a Help-Portrait by your local community. Set it up on the street, near a hospital etc... but for some reason we only have three sites down a lot from the previous years. So, go ahead and be courageous.
If you are interested in volunteering please message me Will Salomon.

I'd like to add my thanks to Kendra, whom I've had the pleasure of working with before. Kendra, you outdid yourself! Your positive attitude is inspiring. You kept everything running smoothly. You did a great job. And I want to add how much I enjoyed working with "the team." You guys are great - upbeat, talented, and fun.
