Shameless (charitable) Print Promotion!

Hey fellow Zenfolio users,

I am going on a month long bike tour in August with a charitable, youth-led organization called the Otesha Project (check it out!). For those who haven't heard of it, the Otesha Project was founded by two 21 year-old women in 2002 with the aim of mobilizing youth to create local and global change through their daily consumer choices. They've delivered more than 1,000 theatre-based performances and workshops to more than 72,000 Canadians that focus on the many ways our choices impact the world, and how we can make that impact more positive. So it's not surprising that they're into sweatshop-free clothing, water conservation, preventing climate change, organic and local food, and fairly traded products of all kinds. They're also really into biking, which is where I come in. I'll be biking through Atlantic Canada teaching youth about environmental sustainability and social justice, as well as meeting people in communities throughout the area who are creating positive change. In order to do this, I need to fundraise $1250 CAD (approximately $1066 USD) and am offering prints of my work.

For a minimum donation of $35 CAD (approximately $30 USD) you can get:

- One 8X12 unframed print
- OR four 4x6 unframed prints

For a minimum donation of $55 CAD (approximately $47 USD) you can get:

- Two $35 packages! That is, two 8x12s, or eight 4x6 prints, or one 8x12 and four 4x6 prints

So....

- Go through my zenfolio website http://www.hollynorris.ca and pick images you'd like prints of

- Send me a link to the image(s). Please send a verbal description of the image(s) too since I quite frequently shuffle photos around and wouldn't want to print the wrong photo(s).

- Also include your name and mailing address in your email (to hollynorris(at)trentu.ca).

- Payment works on a bit of an honour system, but please trust me.. I couldn't sleep at night knowing I'd ripped anyone off.

- Go to http://www.canadahelps.org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=3995 and make the appropriate donation for what you're ordering

You can get a tax receipt for the donation!
NOTE: Make sure you list your name as public so I know the donation is yours!

- Also, please note: I do not tend to print portraits of people (but do print some portraits, some of the outdoor political rally stuff and images from the Central America gallery), but exceptions apply to certain images, so please check with me before paying for an image of a person.

Feel free to pass this along.. I need all the support I can get!

Peace and bicycle grease,

Holly
