Either way, however they might be chosen, I'd love to help out in anyway I
can. I've signed up at the Ning site and will try and get some more info
there.

Thanks for posting this!

It seems to encourage doing something for the people who seem to be in
need. It doesn't restrict to a certain kind of need. If it's a ride
they need, give 'em a ride in addition to taking/giving the photo.

Nothing wrong with encouraging people to do good things, and the
gimmick is just there to help get the word out.

That is a very interesting point of view.

I am far to tired tonight to really share my thoughts properly. But I
do know how cherished a family portrait can be.

I guess I am curious how the families that are 'in need' are identified.

It's not just the name, the project doesn't take into account the needs or
wants or whims of anyone but the photographers. It would be different if it
was a national call to photographers to help victims of domestic violence
find a sense of togetherness through photographs, but to me it just seems

Interesting thoughts Damien,

Could you elaborate on which part(s) make it self serving, or are you caught
on on the "help" name.

Do discus!

Doesn't anyone find this project, while well-intentioned, quite misguided
and self-serving? I mean, who are we as photographers to decide who needs
help?

Chad,

All of the info for planning will be in this thread:

There is a planning meeting next monday @1PM, i'm going to ping Hollye and
find out if there is only one planning meeting, or if this is more of a
brainstorming meeting, with another meeting to more finalize things.

Okay, I'm in too Adam!
When and where is the planning meeting?
If it would help, I could donate a studio for the day as well...

Nice! I won't be able to make it out to this one due to a prior
commitment, but definitely keep posting future meetups to the refocus

a great time.

"This month we will be meeting in downtown Gilbert. Hopefully some of
the east-siders that haven't been able to attend can come out for this
one. Let's plan on meeting under the big water tower behind the

photographer to come and take some photos during our private open
house event for founders and investors. I was wondering if any of your
members may be interested in taking on this job. I can see your focus
seems to be more artistic, but thought it was worth a try. The event
