I am so excited and honored to be chosen as an offical photographer for the organization Fotolantropy.  Here is a little bit about what this great organization is all about:

“THE MISSION OF FOTOLANTHROPY IS TO CAPTURE AND SHARE INSPIRING TRUE STORIES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE OVERCOME ADVERSITY THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILM. FOTOLANTHROPY SEEKS TO BE A HUB OF INSPIRATION FOR ALL THROUGH THE POWER OF STORYTELLING. WITH EACH STORY, FOTOLANTHROPY GIVES THE RECIPIENT A PORTRAIT SESSION, A SLIDESHOW TO MUSIC AND THE DIGITAL IMAGES, AS WELL AS A PLATFORM FOR THEM TO SHARE THEIR STORY. FOTOLANTHROPY ALSO CHOOSES ABOUT 5 STORIES TO MAKE INTO SHORT DOCUMENTARY FILMS EACH YEAR. FOTOLANTHROPY IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION AND WE BELIEVE THAT SHARING INSPIRING TRUE STORIES CAN EMPOWER AND POSITIVELY ENCOURAGE OTHERS. WE ARE HONORED TO WORK WITH STORIES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PERSEVERED COURAGEOUSLY THROUGH THEIR ADVERSITIES. FOR IT IS THESE STORIES THAT CAN HELP EACH OF US REMAIN INSPIRED IN THIS LIFE. FOTOLANTHROPY IS A NATION WIDE COMMUNITY OF PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS AND FILMMAKERS WHO USE THEIR CAMERAS FOR GOOD BY DONATING THEIR TIME AND TALENTS TO CAPTURE STORIES OF THOSE WHO INSPIRE THEM. THESE ARTISTS ARE THE STORYTELLERS BEHIND EVERY STORY SHARED ON FOTOLANTHROPY’S WEBSITE. WITH THEIR COMMON INTEREST OF GIVING BACK AND A SERVANT-HEARTED SPIRIT, THESE FOTOCREW MEMBERS ARE UNITING TOGETHER AS AN ARTISTIC COMMUNITY TO GIVE BACK TO THOSE WHO HAVE OVERCOME ADVERSITY. “

I cannot wait to start using my camera for good!  If you have a story that you’d like to nominiate, you can submit it on their website.  Happy day 🙂
