Dear fellow photographers,

I am participating in this effort with my photo "Chisos Sunburst" and thought you may want to contribute as well. Please see the following message, posted with the permission of the author.

Thanks,

Renee

To my fellow artists.....

Although we should not have to persuade people to contribute to the
various
relief
funds supporting the catastrophe in the Gulf Coast, I felt it was only
fitting to
reach into my heart and blend what I am feeling for the affected people
of
the Gulf
Coast with my passion for visual beauty.

I have chosen to compose an image to be offered to the public for free
in
exchange
for a contribution. 100% of those contributions will be forwarded to
the
American
Red Cross for Gulf Coast disaster relief. Through the participation of
photographer
members of the Artshow_Photo list group, that seed has grown to become
the
Gulf Coast
Disaster Relief Gallery

One standard image size (8x10) and contribution amount ($25.00 for
affordability) is
offered. Purchase/Contributions can be made by all 4 major credit cards
via
the website
at www.explodingeye.com/disaster.html


I would like to invite all of you to participate in this fund raising
effort
from our
coast to coast virtual community to theirs.


1) Photographer/Artist-contributors should email a 600x400 jpg of their
offering along
with all of the image/title/artist/web site info to be displayed
Send submittals to peteco@explodingeye.com or peteco@comcast.net
with the
title:
Gulf Coast Disaster Relief Gallery

2) When contributors select your image as the incentive for making a
contribution, you
will receive email with the customer/shipping info.

3) Each contributing photographer/artist will be responsible for
printing
and fulfillment
of orders selecting their image including the shipping cost of an
8x10
print(s)

4) Everyone will participate in publicizing our fund raising effort.
(pick
your methods)
The initial press release will be distributed to participating
photographer/artists for
further distribution. It is anticipated that you would use your
email
distribution
lists for the initial launch.

Should you have any questions, direct them to me via email
peteco@explodingeye.com or
call me at 732-929-8593(studio) or 732-757-6567 (cell)

Each and every time I look at the imagery emanating from the Gulf Coast
it
breaks my heart.
I have to do this......please join me.

May God hold them firmly in his hands.....
