Save the Storks!!!

Hello kind world! Are you interested in photography? Are you interested in the Pro-Life movement? Are you interested in both?

Well here is your chance to do something about it!

 The Save the Storks team is group of individuals dedicated to meeting the needs of pregnant women by compassionately educating them about their pregnancy. Initially, it is the offer of a free sonogram that draws women to the Stork bus. However, at the end of the day, it is the love and attention of highly trained counselors who are walking with women towards a brighter future that makes a lasting impact. Women walk away from the Stork bus feeling loved, hopeful, and reassured they have the strength and resources to give a new child life.

Brittney Julian, a student photographer at Union University, is attempting to raise money for Save the Storks. She will be hosting an event that will display student photography (including some of my own work) and raise funds for Save the Storks. Each photo will be on sale, and all of the proceeds will go towards Save the Storks and their mission.

Here is where you guys come in. In order to host a show, we need money to print, frame, and pay for other expenses. As college kids, we don’t have any money, so this show happening all depends on how much support we can get.

If you want to help or find out more about the event,  please follow this link. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/568307763/selling-photography-to-save-the-storks?ref=live

We only have a few days left to raise the rest of the money, if we don’t meet the deadlines we lose all of the money. If you can’t help finically please help by spreading the word. Reblog or repost… Do whatever you feel necessary. We would love to make this event a success, but we need your help!!!

One Day, No Shoes

"One Day Without Shoes" 

organized by TOMS Shoes

Warm smooth dirt, hot rough pavement,  soft green grass, cool slick tile... These are the sensations you feel when walking around without shoes. Each year, thousands of people step together in an event known as "One Day Without Shoes" to raise awareness... awareness of those who experience those sensations every day of their lives. 

TOMS Shoes, a company started by the generosity of one man, has given the world an opportunity to give to others. For every pair of shoes purchased through TOMS, one pair will be given to a child living without them. I have personally experienced the joy associated with the One For One movement. Because I wear these shoes, 3 other less fortunate children now get to wear shoes as well.  

I enjoy designing all of the TOMS that I purchase. Posted below are photos of the ones I own. Like I wrote on my very first pair... Go ahead- "Walk In My Shoes." 

Pair #3

Pair #2

Pair #1

I strongly support TOMS Shoes and its cause. The problem it addresses is one that is often overlooked, and the method by which it responds is simply effective. I do not request that everyone reading these words go out and purchase a pair of  TOMS. This is just one of the steps that I have taken to make the world a better place. If everyone took the same steps, we wouldn't cover all of the ground involved in edifying today's society. All I request that you take your next step in the right direction. One step will lead to another. It always has.
