Families Belong Together.

Today marked the third day of summer but it's weather was a spooky June gloom. I hopped on the bus and made my way to downtown San Diego to see the turnout of this rally on this gloomy day. I ride the bus if I need to go downtown as I dislike searching for parking and didn't want to risk getting a parking ticket. I'm cheap, I don't like paying for parking. One thing for sure, there is never a shortage of homemade signs no matter what your political views are. The tone of the rally seemed upbeat in that participants were happy to be there, probably happy that the sun wasn't beating down on them. I tried to show up fashionably late because I tend to lose interest in rallies after a certain amount of time and unfortunately, the march had not started on time so onward home.

Help-Portrait San Diego!

I thought twice about posting these images because this was something I wanted to do with thousands of photographers around the world. I have decided against posting images in order to respect the privacy of my subjects. I participated in a wonderful world wide project called Help-Portrait . Help-Portrait is about giving portraits to people who need some hope in their lives. I worked at the site located at a site called Solutions for Change. Solutions for Change is a transitional facility that helps families have a secure place while they rebuild their lives. These families have gone through some challenges and SFC gives them the opportunity to get a fresh start. I worked with Stuart Allman who proved to be a wiz at posing families. Stuart and I had more families than anyone with each family having 5 plus members easily. No problem for Stuart and our assistant Ryan who was actually a circus clown in his former life. Big help with the children. One of the subjects was deaf and Ryan hap

Help-Portrait 2010 - San Diego

It was that that time of the year again. This was my second time of the year I participated in Help-Portrait. Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers who use their talents to help those in need. The goal is simple. You find a person in need, take their picture and give them a print. This year, there were three sites the San Diego team worked with. Seasons For Change participated again this year as they did in our first event last year, we picked up the Bayside Community Center in Linda Vista and St. Claire's House in Escondido. It was a long morning. I have been battling a cold since last Friday so that made the day even longer. I was able to find a MUA for our morning shoot at St Claire's and I want to give a shout out to Katie for helping us out. We had three MUAs on hand to do makeup for the ladies and girls. I posted a picture of the group of photographers who shot but as you know I need to protect the women at St. Claire's.
