That’s the only way I can describe today. Not only did I meet some wonderful people, but the response to the summer program (now titled IMAGINE- more on that later) has been overwhelming. So my wish for you is to have a lovely weekend and nothing less.
With Love,
Chelo
I’m planning a summer photo program for youth that may not otherwise have the opportunity.
Let me back it up a bit.
When I was in college, there was a very kind man who let me tag along in one of the summer programs for the in coming drama students. I was supposed to be there for work, but he let me learn along with everyone else. They had a photography component to the program and he put a camera in my hand. I took pictures around the city and he was so impressed by them. For the first time in my life, I felt like I could make things that mattered. I felt valued. I felt creative. I felt alive.
I want to pass it forward.
With that said, I may need some help.
I’m looking to borrow 35mm film camers between 6/25-7/13/12. Cameras will be returned. Ideally, you’re in the northern nj area as I am willing to pick up. Film donations are also welcome, expired film is not a problem. If you can help me encourage even one child, I will be forever grateful to you. Please email me at chelo@chelokeys.com and I’ll keep you abreast of the details.
