The Free Photo Project is an effort to offer low-income people the family photos they can’t afford. Families that are stretched thin can’t afford cameras and film, much less professional sessions. So far, founder Aloma Calacin (who was inspired by photos of her own kids) and her volunteers have provided hundreds of free portraits in just over a year — including more than a hundred at a walk-in Thanksgiving dinner last fall in Eugene, Oregon. The video below is from that shoot. One mom says this will be the first photo she has of her five children. Another talks about how she can’t afford annual school photos of her brood of six. The growing effort is currently accepting donations. A family photo, sure to be among a person’s most treasured possessions, costs just $5 or less. (via Poverty in America)
Loving this concept! :)
I love this.
I was just looking at old family photos.
