Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
David Hessemer is doing a blogathon TODAY for his “Through Their Eyes” Africa project. He is going to be taking a team of photographers to Africa next year to areas where all the adults have died and the children are more or less on their own with little aid.
In addition to helping the people living there, they will also be teaching them to take photographs, in the hope of giving them a skill as well as to be able to see the world the way they see it. The photographs they take will be formed into a traveling exhibit all over the country. It’s really a fantastic project, however, it needs funding to make it happen!
Today and tomorrow they are running a blogathon to make that happen. The link where you go to donate and learn more about the project is: http://www.throughtheireyesafrica.typepad.com/
Please go take a look, it is a great cause!
