Venice Photo Exhibit and Fundraiser

Anyone in Los Angeles on May 13th is welcome to come to my photo exhibit opening at Nikki’s, 72 Market Street, Venice, CA. I’ll be there by 9 and plan to stay through closing. Since I’m primarily showing Haiti work we’re making the event a fundraiser as well, with voluntary donations being collected at the door. As with my last fundraiser, the money will benefit Habitat for Humanity, with all money going directly to their efforts to provide shelter and long-term housing for those affected by the January earthquake. I’ll also have a few images from Venice up on the wall. Also note that there’s a special happy hour from 10-12, so drinks will be cheap! It should be a fun night. Hoping to see a good turnout!

Check for Haiti fundraiser

Just wanted to announce that I mailed off a check today for the money I raised for Habitat for Humanity’s efforts in Haiti. Big big thank you to all who participated in my little fundraiser!! I hope you all enjoy your prints. When I hear that there’s something in the $11 billion range needed for reconstruction it seems like it’s impossible to make a dent, but every little bit helps. Hopefully I’ll be able to get down there in the next year to report on the progress and keep people’s awareness up so the help keeps coming.

I spent a beautiful Saturday morning at Sunset Beach Pacific Palisades shooting a bunch of costume-clad surfers who were there for the 7th annual Doo Dah Surf Day, a fundraiser that benefits the West LA/Malibu chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, which aims to protect the world’s oceans and beaches. Larger than normal swells apparently kept a lot of the surfers away, but a couple dozen still showed up in a variety of costumes like aliens, grandmothers the “chairman of the board,” and even “Octomom,” complete with red puffy lips and 8 baby dolls fastened to the nose of the board.
