Flashes of Hope is a national nonprofit organization that changes the way children with cancer and other life threatening illnesses see themselves - through the gift of photography - and raises money for pediatric cancer research. Professional photographers provide free portraits of the children to help them feel better about their changing appearance.

Flashes of Hope is currently in 40 children's hospitals and 20 children's camps across the country and ASMP photographers are creating powerful images of strength, beauty and dignity in cities across the U.S. for Flashes of Hope.

Having a strong partnership with ASMP, a Shared Copyright Agreement has been created. In addition, ASMP members are exempt from the extensive portfolio review process.

The next opportunity to get involved:

Camp Sunrise photo shoot on August 5, 2010 in Wheatly Heights, NY (Long Island), from 8:30am-12:30pm.

There are 4 spots for Photographer volunteers that need to be filled. An email including volunteer instructions, guidelines, file preparation instructions and the copyright agreement will be sent to photographers prior to the photo shoot explaining how photographers work with the organization.

To sign up for one of these dates and for more information, please visit www.flashesofhope.org

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

It’s Just Business

Several recent threads on ASMP’s on-line forums have dealt with photographers’ frustration with client negotiations.
We would like to ask you help us support a former ASMPNY President in this election. As many of you know, Thomas Werner was central to the rebuilding the of New York Chapter, helping to create the strong and vital chapter that you know today.
As a reviewer for the 3rd year in a row I remembered how fast-paced the reviews can be. How stressful it is for the person getting reviewed. It reminds me of what speed-dating must be like.

How do you stand out in a crowded market? Not by spending the most and yelling the loudest — that’s a sucker’s game (and boy, do those suckers get annoying, fast.) The secret to gaining attention in a noisy world lies in making yourself irresistible at all turns:

Must give a major shout out to Stella Kramer who edited and published this blog for the past few years- keeping it chocked full of information and writings based on the contemporary photography world, commercially and in fine art. It must be noted that she posted everything before August 2011.
Most of us miss the smell of a darkroom and the potent chemicals that seep through our hands and clothes back in the day when the darkroom was king.

My Photo
I've been in the art and photography industry for 15 years as a photographer, curator and art consultant. I've been fortunate to work with ASMPNY as a portfolio reviewer as well as a panelist for photography events here in the city. Earlier this year my exhibition, "Hotter Than July" was reviewed by senior art critic of New York Magazine, Jerry Saltz. In the past I founded veaux.org, a site for emerging creatives with a gallery space in Chelsea as well as curator/consultant of exhibitions for the Hipstamatic iphone app. Currently I'm working on a project documenting the New York art world while curating exhibitions around the city.
