I like this idea. Photographers donate their time, expertise and prints around the holiday season, to give portraits to people who wouldn’t otherwise get them.
It looks like a grassroots kind of thing, with a loose central structure and real local organization. And amateurs and pros of all stripes are invited to take part.
I could certainly see how shooting and printing some children’s or babies’ portraits would be a really nice holiday gift for some folks.
I’ve just subscribed to the mailing list, so I’ll let you know if we get stuff going in Santa Fe. There are a lot of pro and serious amateur photographers around, so let’s see what we can do, shall we?
