THERE ARE PEOPLE ON OUR PLANET THAT NEED SUPPORT.

I will be touring the world to teach those that can not afford to take courses or those that just cant get to where my courses are held because they just can not afford it. In order to achieve this I need students from all over the world to book courses whilst I am on tour so I can give the people not fortunate enough the chance to learn through photography and about photography.
This tour will be sponsoring children's meals in Africa as well as physically, emotionally and sexually abused children (I was one of those children, so I know what I am talking about) and Sightsavers International, who every day save the sight of thousands of people in third world countries.
I have created this tour to share as much as I can with other photographers that wish to learn which includes those that do not have the opportunities that we have..
Along with providing the 3 very important causes with exposure and funding to improve the lives of people that know hardship and pain on a daily basis that most of us would not be able to cope with for a minute let alone live with the the whole of our life as the people that I wish to help have to through no fault of their own.
Take this on board and think about how you/we can share..
Please also see what sparked off this event.

With out our eyes we can not take images or see images. We are the lucky ones.
If your interested in getting involved either by taking courses or becoming a course administrator get back to me.
This event kicks off in April 2012 and will take me 280 days, visiting 25 countries around the world.
If you have any thing to offer that will support this event please post it on this thread.
I need a lot of help along the way with equipment, studios, stylists, hair and make up artists, models, assistance with travel transport accommodation.
As well as sponsors So if your connected with any one that can help please pass on the information.
More info is on my blog.

For many years I have been taking fake fantasy pictures, neither of these are fake pictures. The first one is the little girl that I photographed whilst on a recce for a fashion shoot in Kenya many years ago.
If your asking yourself WHY am I doing this:
It all started with a conversation with a friend about some of the issues in our world, it reminded me of the plight of a little girl whom I photographed when I was on a recce for a fashion shoot in Kenya.
I dug out the picture of her that I took outside of her family home, !!! It made me cry !! and to think about what was in my mind re helping at the time but like we all do I thought its a big problem and I am too small to be able to help or make a difference.
2 nights ago I watched a program about the top 100 video clips on youtube that get millions of hits, most really stupid and not saying anything about things that are important. I then thought about the many friends and connections that I have on portals like mm and the 4500 friend connections that I have on my facebook and realized I can create a broader insight towards the real problems in life. like children with no food, abused children, those with sight problems easily solved etc etc through the mm and your facebook portal.
So if you have thought the same. !! I am too small to make a difference !! You are wrong because you can. :-) Please just spread this story.
I am doing my best with what little I have which is my time.. but giving your time is a wonderful gift. So take some time to think about these issues that are our responsibility even though they are a long way from your front door it does not mean they are not happening. Because they are, I have first hand experiences of some of the issues as a small child that i wont go into right now unless i have to, to make those that are not conscious feel the pain and long term damage that can be done to those that have no fault or that do not deserve to experience suffering and pain.
Because an image is only 2 dimensional it does not mean that the problem is not real...
As said, I have been taking fake fantasy images for most of my professional life.
The picture of the little girl is not fake, as are the other pictures of peoples lives that we see but choose to ignore of lives effected by world issues.
The world belongs to us, so the world issues are ours..
Thank you for reading this.
