Flashes of Hope Update
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
As you may know I work with Flashes of Hope providing portraits to kids with Cancer. Here's some news I just got from the LV Chapter Director.
"In Las Vegas, and multiple other cities around the nation, mini photo shoots are set up at Sunrise Children’s Hospital-Pediatric Oncology Unit, The Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases, and Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada-Pediatric Division every other month. The children are given the opportunity to be photographed by themselves, with their families, roommate, favorite nurse and/or doctor, and even their best friend(s). The photo shoots are a ton of fun and bring some beautiful smiles during what is the most difficult and challenging time in their life.
The Photographers and Stylists are some of the best in the business and they donate their time and talents without any hesitation. Their generosity and compassion speaks volumes to their character. The staff at NCCF and Flashes of Hope are honored to be working such amazing and talented individuals and as the Las Vegas Chapter Director I am so thrilled to announce that People Magazine has completed their spread/piece on Flashes of Hope! It is set to print in the next issue to hit newsstands on March 28th! This is very exciting news for Flashes of Hope and we hope all of you will pick up a copy and see first hand the beauty, significance, and meaning these photos have for so many. "

Flashes of Hope Update
Monday, October 22, 2007
Hey HIPsters,
I did another shoot for Flashes of Hope today.
Picture going into a doctors office and using a small patient room that was maybe 7'x7', putting up a full studio worth of stuff and photographing a bunch of kids fighting cancer.
Here's where the value of your Hallmark Education comes in handy. I basically did this whole thing on autopilot, the families will love them, it's all for a good cause, and it was lots of fun!
These are all straight out of the camera. Deleted a few test shots and blinks but for the most part this is the whole session.
It took a half hour to setup the set by myself while chatting with the people, shot from 10am to 11:30, packed up, processed the images with an 8x10 auto crop and B&W conversion, no other adjustments in PS.
Now if this wasn't a chary situation and I wasn't volunteering my services it would be good bank for a few hours of fun!
Don't discount anything you learn during your time at Hallmark!

I went to the hospital today to visit Isaac. We had fun taking some candid shots of him goofing around in the playroom. I expected to photograph a lot more kids today, but there weren't that many kids there which is a good thing.
