Images without Borders

January 30, 2010

By now we have all seen the pictures, we’ve all heard the stories, both extraordinary and heartbreaking, coming out of the earthquake in Haiti on January 12th. Through my own heartache for the plight of the several thousands affected and my own desire to help those who are putting their own lives aside to help strangers in need, I have the honor of joining many amazing photographers in a project called Images without Borders. All the proceeds, minus a small printing fee, for select, limited edition fine art prints will got to Doctors without Borders. Here’s more from the website:

This project emerged because of the crisis in Haiti, but has taken on a larger life. Because of our affiliation with Doctors without Borders, we plan to continue our support as future crises emerge and daily work continues for those who suffer around the world. Buyers receive a stunning art print from a premier world photographer and their contribution goes directly to the places that need it most. Each print is offered from Images without Borders at a limit of ten before being pulled from the collection and returned to the artist. This long-term project aids Doctors without Borders in their efforts on the ground in Haiti and the world.

Below are a selection of photographs I have contributed, that you may purchase right now through the Images without Borders website. I have also contributed several iphoneography photos from my recent Project 365, also shown below. Take a few minutes to check out the IWOB website and view the many AMAZING photographs that have been donated. Remember, though, these are limited edition prints, so you better hurry!!

Recently I took a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with a large group of women from my church. We all had a great time and I was able to take a few picture while we were there. We stayed near the end of the famous strip, but there were very few people there… it was almost like a ghost town. The weather was just gorgeous though. I think October might actually be a great time to vacation there!

A while back I entered one of my Project50 photos into The Light Factory’s annual member show. The show ends tomorrow and I was finally able to go by today and see my photograph on display alongside many other great works by other Light Factory members. All the pieces in the show are also for sale. The same photograph is available for purchase in my Etsy shop. Here is a photo of my photo on display along with a photo that my darling husband took of me with it (there is a reason why I’m always the one behind the camera… I hate posing!).

I took these photos with my Lensbaby Composer back in July. I am just now getting around to posting them. For these, I used the macro kit to get closeup on this beautiful flower. You can buy prints of these photos at my Etsy shop. Comments are also welcome.

This past weekend, I participated in Scott Kelby’s 2nd Annual Worldwide Photowalk in Charlotte, NC. I had a great time photographing just for me rather than for someone else. There was no pressure, no time limit, just a leisurely walk with my camera. We had a set map laid out by our leader with some alternate routes. He chose an ideal path through 4th Ward in downtown Charlotte that offered some great photo taking opportunities. Jonathan joined me on the walk, using my trusty D70s. I used my D300 and Lensbaby Composer for the majority of the shots. Shooting pretty much exclusively with the Lensbaby was so much fun! I used the f8 aperture the whole time and got some nice blur.
