I've been having the thought of doing some charity out of small changes given in my favorite Buddism temple. That thought has recently merged with photography and I started with several serious portrait photoshots for people around as gifts. I hope they can have nice portraits from studio photography, something that is out of all of original pictures from their compact cameras or phones, and I can enjoy the outcomes' beauty. It's not been true charity yet, so I'm still looking for a place fitting this idea.

While having not found yet a right place, I found this from Digital Photography School where I visit to learn some  basic techniques:

The Tiny Light
Where I found a lot of pretty family images. Some might even be heart-touching.
However, I wish they said something to explain their purposes clearer, rather than just introducing the main photographers.

Images for a Cure
With just a click of shutter, we may contribute to a change of the world?
" You can effect change in our world by doing what you do best - by utilizing your creativity, building relationships, and creating images...images for a Cure"


Now I lay me down to sleep
" Imagine a shoot where each moment is the last moment, where there will be no second takes, where what you're doing is everything"
This foundation has quite a large network and offer opportunities for not only photographers but also assistants and digital retouch artists.
I'm not telling you what do they photograph. Please spend some time visiting their site.
