THE GIFT OF LIFE
i met with peggy last week; she is doing a project that involves CANADIAN BLOOD SERVICES and vancouver photographers. i told her i'd love to help her and put the word out in regards to this project..
here's the project:
The Gift of Life – A Community Project
The Gift of Life is a community project for the Canadian Blood Services. The vision of the project is to use photography to raise awareness on the importance of blood donation and the worthwhile reasons for donating and as a result, inspire people to take action and become donors.
Vancouver based photographers are invited to photograph people (e.g. family or friends) who have been blood or blood product recipients. Photographs need to convey the feeling of joy and happiness, capturing the essence of the subject “living life” and celebrating their vitality. All submitted photographs will be accompanied by a short caption of the subject and the story in the image.
The idea is that these images, along with their captions, will touch, inspire, and convey this message to their audience: Because of a stranger’s act of generosity – the act of blood donation - subjects in the photographs have been given a second chance to be with their friends and family, and to continue to enjoy and contribute in life.
A public exhibition will be held to feature selected photographs.
Image Submission Criteria
Photo submission is open to all professional and amateur photographers in the Greater Vancouver area
Since the objective of this project is to touch, move, and inspire Canadians to become blood donors through emotive images of the subject (past blood donation recipient) “living life”, we are looking for the following characteristics from submitted images:
* In a photojournalistic style, image should capture the subject being “in their element”, living life, enjoying friends, family – being joyful. The image should be a candid picture rather than a posed portrait
* Image should be emotive, i.e. it needs to generate an emotion from the audience
* Image can be black and white or colour
* Image needs to be accompanied by a short description (no more than 500 words) of the subject’s name (first name only is fine) and his/her story on their reason for blood transfusion, and the “story” in the image
* Image must not be larger than 5000 pixels on the longest side. It can be submitted in Photoshop (.psd) or jpeg format
* Send your image to peggy@lumeophotography.com along with the description of the subject and image by December 4, 2009
Note: Each participating photographer retains copyright to his/her images. In submitting the images, the photographer agrees to allow Canadian Blood services to show the single presentation print in any number of exhibitions as long as the photographer's name is attached with the image. Canadian Blood Services will not use the images for any other purpose without written consent from the photographer. The photographer is responsible for all model releases.

vancouver photogs + blood = givin' life! || vancouver photographers
i had the opportunity to meet up with an amazing lady today - peggy leung - who is doing a project for canadian blood services with vancouver photographers.
sound interesting?
read what it's all about:
As an effort to raise awareness for blood donation and increase donor numbers for the Canadian Blood Services, this is a community project designed showcase photographic images of recipients of blood or blood products that would touch and inspire Canadians to become regular donors.
This is a call to all local Vancouver based photographers to get involved, help out, and participate in this community project!
All Vancouver based photographers are invited to submit images of friends or family who have been a blood transfusion recipient "living life to the fullest". The theme of the exhibition is VITALITY. Images should be photojournalistic in style and emotive - capturing the joyous moments and aliveness of the subjects. In essence, the images would communicate the the idea that because of the "gift of blood" they have received, they now have the opportunity to continue living life, contributing to the community and loved ones around them.
Submitted images can be either black and white, or colour. Each image should be accompanied by a short description (500 words) of the subject’s name (first name only is fine) and his/her story on their reason for blood transfusion, and the story in the image.
Entry must be submitted by the end of November.
Selected images will be showcased in an exhibition in Vancouver.
Please contact me (Peggy Leung) if you're interested in participating and getting involved!
