Photographers seek to Capture The Light: The Ondoy Photo Walk Project

Caught wind of Capture The Light: The Ondoy Photo Walk Project, which creator Leo Castillo describes as "a way to convert our photography skills and talents into something that will greatly benefit the relief operations."  Details as follows:

- We'll ask our participants to volunteer in relief centers.
- To entice more people to help out, we are giving a photo lesson for free.
- To entice volunteers to pledge more money/time/effort we have asked our friends in the photography field to provide contributions.
- Some contributions will be offered in via auction. Bidding can be in the form of money/goods or pledged number of hours of service. All proceeds will go to relief efforts for people affected by Ondoy.
- Some contributions will be given as prizes for a photo contest. We are giving specific instructions to our volunteers to be a volunteer first and foremost, singit lang ang photos.
- The intention of the photos is the desire to create a gallery of photos showing the bayanihan spirit; the goodness of man. By creating this gallery we hope to inspire more to continue to embody this spirit. To "capture the light".

Original date set for the photography/service project was Sunday, October 4, but due to Typhoon Pepeng, it has been postponed tentatively to October 11. Visit the facebook group for updates.
 

Let's talk hope.

We've already started talking to each other again as one people. We're looking each other in the eye, regardless of family background, school, occupation, religion, socio-economic class. Let's keep talking to each other. Let this dialogue be a source of healing for ourselves as individuals, and as Filipinos. Para sa bayan!
