Giving is Awesome (better late than never!)

So far 469 photographers nationwide are giving away $499,095 worth of custom photography nationwide thru www.givingisawesome.com - I just checked the map and there isn't anyone representing the Willamette Valley... and someone has to push the total over the half mil mark :)

So without further adieu, the copy/pasted verbage from the site w/ my info thrown in, because I'm just not that eloquent. Most importantly, the winner will be chosen on New Year's Eve instead of Christmas Eve like everyone else, because... I said so. :)

----

You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography -- $2550 worth, to be exact. The winner will receive a session with me, a custom-designed album, and the final images on DVD with personal printing rights.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $255 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Oregon. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : kacy@kacyjo.com.

The winner will be announced on New Year's Eve -- get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

Happy Holidays!

Kacy Jo
