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!
