Hallmark Institute of Photography’s Director of Education Named Exclusive Photographer For ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Saturday, February 23, 2008
Hallmark Institute of Photography’s Director of Education, Richard Barnes, has been named the Exclusive Photographer for an edition of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which is currently being filmed in Maynard, Massachusetts. Richard, a 1986 graduate of Hallmark, along with his wife Kristen, also a 1986 Hallmark graduate, own Barnes Portrait Design in East Brookfield, Massachusetts.
Richard Barnes, Class of 1986 with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition designer, Paul DiMeo.
The Barnes’, with the assistance of their photographic team, Scott Farmosa and Jenna Hollinger, also Hallmark graduates, began recording the week’s events on Friday, February 22, 2008 when the Giunta family, of Maynard, surprisingly received the “door knock,” which is when they learned the news that they would be the recipients of a new home. Since a car accident left him confined to a wheelchair, Paul Giunta has been living in a retirement development away from his family because their home is not handicap accessible. Over the next seven days a team of more than 500 builders, contractors, designers, and hundreds of volunteers will race to completely rebuild the Giunta’s home to accommodate a wheelchair so that Paul can return home.
