Scott Kelby’s Second Annual World Wide Photo Walk

http://worldwidephotowalk.com/

Had a a great time last Saturday at the Kelby photo walk in Ybor city in Tampa Florida.

Our walk was led by Scott Kelby and we explored 7th and 8th ave. and ended up at the Spaghetti Factory .

32,600 photographers from around the world participated!

People had everything form point and shoot to the top of the line pro gear but it did not matter it was all abut exploring photography and making friends.

Here are a couple of my shots from the walk.

Greengold-Lovoi Wedding

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Had a great weekend first with Scott Kelby Photo walk in Ybor city (more on that later) and then the Greengold-Lovoi wedding.

Dana and John were married on the beach in front of the Carlouel Yacht Club in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

This was my first Jewish ceremony and it was just so beautiful and full of meaning.

Breaking of the glass

One of the most common meanings is that the fragility of the glass also suggests the frailty of human relationships, even the strongest love is subject

to disintegration, the glass is broken to protect the marriage with an implied prayer.

“As this glass shatters, So may your marriage never break”

Dana and John I wish you all the best.

Alpha House Part-2

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Well I went to Alpha House lunch and learn last Thursday not knowing what to expect But what I found was a staff that is incredibly dedicated to what there doing there and to the young women and children in there care.

They do so much more than I thought , not just giving them a place to stay but giving them counseling getting them in education programs,teaching them parenting skills, learning skills and more .

They really strive to give these women every thing they will need to have what so many take for granted.

I’m very excited now to be a part of helping them any way I can.

The costs of caring for the woman and children at the Alpha House must be huge so if you can give go to there web site and make a donation.

Alpha House of Tampa

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Well I’ve been looking for a way to get involved with the comunity and use photography to make a diffrence in peoples lives and I think I fond it.

The Alpha House of Tampa is a non profit organization who’s mission is to

empower pregnant and parenting women in crisis to realize their ability

to break the cycles of poverty and abuse and create promising lives for themselves and their babies.

I going to attend there Lunch and learn session on the 9th and hopefully be setting up some dates to do some photography sessions for there clients.

I think self esteem is so important I hope that through my photography I can help some one along and provide some positive memory’s.

In the nest few weeks I be posting some images of our sessions.

I’ll also be gifting some free sessions to there contributors who donate a dollar amount to be determined shortly and donating a portion of my session fees in the next few months to help them out.

Check out the Alpha House website for ways you can help.
