Just a chance to pass on your skills.

->> My first baby (boy) was born only three weeks ago and rates as The most amazing experience of my life. Only an hour ago my wife and I were complaining about the fact that he cries a lot after a feed, we think he has a little Reflux. Boy does this put it into perspective. I cried for ten minutes after reading the letter Maddux's mom wrote him.
I'm now going to see if there is anything similar in the UK and either join up or start work on creating something.
Bill, thanks for sharing the message.

->> That is the most amazing thing I've ever seen - it touched me profoundly. I don't know if I feel worthy enough to share a moment like that with parents, but I do know that I am going to think really hard about it. Incredible message. Thank you for sharing.

->> You know, this is a rarity -- a 100% altruistic project, where a photographer not only is giving of their time, but also providing materials at their expense for such a wonderful project. This is really where you can make a difference in someone's life without a penny changing hands.

Oftentimes, I hear of really great organizations which are looking for free photography services, but their management are all well paid, and even groups like Doctors without Borders demands copyright ownership of the material.

This is what spare time was made for...giving back...paying your gift forward.
