If I fill my brain with pictures what do not matter it fills me with emptyness. But for example If I look at the works of Sebastiao Saldago I realize it is a matter of getting your pictures to right audience, to those who care. If Saldago would not have swet to get his pictures to public they would not have changed the world. Taking pictures is work, but it seems to me that beginner photographers often forget that getting pictures public in the sense of getting them to the right audience is still hard work.

This is what I did to promote blood donation http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwj1978/5180777641

Exactly what I needed before volunteering in Senegal (then Ghana) with walkingtrees.org. I’ll see what I can do to give back. Benjamin, does Emote360 have any association with Senegal or Ghana? (they aren’t actually very at-risk countries)…
Thanks, amazing stuff…

Sometimes we forget that. Thanks Patrick for the post
