Thirst Relief
hosts a charity mentorship program that occurs at
WPPI in Las Vegas. These mentorships are the probably the best way to get one-on-one contact with a photographer…all while supporting a good cause. It's a win-win!
Here's the exciting news:
This year I'll be one of the mentorships that are available! I'm so humbled and thrilled at this, not only because it's a chance to help such a worthy cause, but because the other photographers offering mentorships are some of the best in the industry.
Here's the breakdown…
*This
Saturday-Tuesday, February 9-12, 2008 Thirst Relief hosts an online auction where people can bid for a date with a mentor.
*If you're the winning bidder, we'll arrange a 90-minute meeting in
Las Vegas. Lunch is on me. If you can't make it Vegas this year, we'll arrange another time- via phone or ichat, or if you happen to be in the Pittsburgh neighborhood. We can discuss anything you'd like (marketing, branding, pricing structure, shooting, critique, lighting...whatever!). We'll cater our session to meet the needs of your business.
*The auctions end at different times, so please note when mine
ends. Each mentoring auction has a different ending time. However, when the
auction is supposed to close, if there is a bidding war happening over my mentoring session, (fingers crossed) then the auction will stay open until the
bidding war ends. If this is the case, the auction ends when people stop bidding. (This is not like ebay, where an auction ends at a specific time, period.)
*The auctions will not be visible until they go live on February 9th at
10am EST. All times listed through out the auction are based on
Eastern Standard Time.
*Nearly 2 million people die annually because they lack access to
clean drinking water. 90% of those are children under the age of 5.
All
of the proceeds of this auction go directly to Thirst Relief- an
organization that provides clean drinking water to those in need around
the world.

This is such a great cause! Even if you don't want to mentor with me, check out the line up of other photographers and bid for one of them. There are an amazing group of photographers lined up, including
Jessica Claire,
Becker,
LaCour,
Mike Colon, and
Jasmine Star. Also, check out Thirst Relief's
website and
blog to learn more about their cause and consider becoming a monthly $5 donor. Five dollars saves a life. It would be an amazing gift and a visionary movement if every photographer helped save one life a month for one year.
So go mark your calendars and bid for a mentorship with me!
