Easter Seals Photo Exhibit

The invitations are in the mail to the the exhibit opening October 26.  I've known for a few weeks, but couldn't tell you - my portraits from the Photo Journalism class were chosen for the lead/invite for the exhibit!  I'm so excited!

This exhibit partners COD with Easter Seals - student photographers are assigned a child who receives services from Easter Seals.  We meet with the family, get to know the child and capture photographs that reveal the story and the accomplishments of these special children.  For the class, we do a photo documentary story with captions and a slide show with audio that tells the story.  All photographs are juried and one from each student is chosen for a 24x30 canvas print to be on display at Easter Seals.  In addition, one photo is chosen as the lead for the invitation - for this year, the photo I took.

The exhibit opening on October 26 at 6:00 PM is attended by the families, the staff, the photographers, friends and more.  During the year, Easter Seals is able to use all the photos that were submitted for publicity, giving photo credit.  It is a WIN-WIN for all of us.

Here is the invite that just got mailed:
