Dollar Portraits

The year is nearly over and my project is heading in the right direction. It has enjoyed a great start and I plan to continue in 2009 with the same enthusiasm.

Two things of note. Next week I have a meeting with the staff of Cancer Council NSW which will bring me closer to being an authorised fund raiser. If we can't come to some form of agreement I will still continue to raise funds for them which has always been the plan. There is a fair bit of red tape involved from their side which makes it difficult for them to simply hand out authority for money collections. It's totally understandable and to be expected I think. Wish me luck but I don't think I'll need it. I'm going to take my camera with me so look out for some portraits of their staff soon.

The other thing I've been working on is organising business cards. The good folks at B&C Mailing have generously donated 1,000 cards which are being printed this week. The cards will be handed out to every person I take a portrait of as a way of promoting the cause and hopefully selling some prints and collecting donations. More on the cards including a scan of the final print as soon as I get them.
