Today I did a shoot that I have been waiting a long time for!
Today was “Help-Portrait” day all over the world hundreds and thousand of photographers gathered a team and gave the gift of a personal portrait to someone deserving.
Jeremy Cowart leader of it all is the genius behind this cause. He (Jeremy) along with thousands all over the world participated, executed and made memorable smiles for this day… December 12th 2009. Today is a start of something new and will be carried on for many years to come!
We were all assigned a task, just one task for today… and that task was to give back to your community, give back to someone in need, give back by saying thank you in a memorable way. I couldn’t think of a better way.
So many approaches and attempts ran through my mind. I wanted to do so much for today but I wasn’t sure what to do. It even came to a point that I wasn’t going to do HP and wait it out to next year. Then, this morning my wife Judy woke me up this morning and surprised me with the good word… Engine 279 in Brooklyn agreed to do the shoot as long as I agree to the emergency stipulations. I was so stoked! I gathered my gear and off we went to Redhook Brooklyn, Home of Engine 279 and the coolest Fire Fighters I’ve yet to meet!
