Take Home A Memory of Haiti With You and Raise Money

I just wanted to quickly share the news that a group of photographers, including Lane Harthwell, have designed and published a fundraising magazine titled Haiti: One Respe. It’s an amazing project that was a result of cross collaboration with different groups and a desire to help. Magcloud has agreed to pay for the printing and distribution allowing for all funds to go directly towards the Red Cross International Response Fund.

The magazine costs $12 and are available for shipping now.

Raising Money For Haiti Relief

Let’s make a difference together. A difference bigger than either of us could have done individually. In hopes of providing additional, immediate support for Haiti Relief, I will be trading my time in order help my friend Billy to reach his goal of $5,000 $10,000 towards Doctors Without Borders. If you were looking forward to helping Haiti and were also in need of photographic services, this is your opportunity to do both!

Every little bit helps, so here’s the deal:

Help me reach my goal of $2,000 by January 31st!

I will photograph your wedding for FREE!
Yes! My time is free! If you’re the first person or couple to donate at least $1,000 towards Haiti Relief by January 31st, you can choose my Standard Package* ($2,400 value) for your upcoming wedding! Or if you’re the wedding party, you can pool money together and gift the package for the lovely couple too. More details:

  • The wedding date must be in 2010
  • The wedding date doesn’t conflict with a previous booking
  • The couple receives the Standard package*
  • I’m open for travel
  • *Promotion does not include expenses such as any rentals, travel, hotel or prints and printing credit.

I will photograph whatever you want for FREE!
If you’re one of the first 5 people to donate at least $100 towards Haiti Relief, you can have me do any kind of photography you want for up to 2 hours. Valentine’s day is coming up for some couples portrait action, or if you want your engagement photos taken, just let me know and we can plan to make it happen. The ideas are endless! A couple restrictions:

  • Location is within the Greater Seattle area
  • Can be done before April 2010
  • Within reason (which we can discuss)

What do you need to do?
Send me an email with a receipt of your donation to any organization that supports the Haiti Relief fund by email. I trust you that the receipts are for real. It’s as simple as that! Please also share this news with friends and family members. Even if you’re donating $1, please let me know! Email me your receipt and I will send  you something pretty just as a thank you for supporting.

But what if you don’t want photos taken?
If photography isn’t your thing, check out Billy Shih’s birthday mission campaign. He’s willing to do ANYTHING within reason to reach his goal of $5,000 by the end of the month. He’a already reached well over $2,000 with a couple weeks in January to spare! Examples include video work, consulting on online marketing or training you to be the ultimate Settler’s of Catan player.

Thanks everyone! I’ll keep you posted on any progress and hope to hear from you soon! If you have other ideas or want to help out in other ways, let me know!
