roslindale open studios -- call for artists

deadline is july 15

project "one afternoon"

well i promised to post only when i felt like i had something somewhat meaningful to say -- so what does it say about me that i've had nothing to say for 4 months?

hopefully with this post you'll forgive me -- and think it worth the wait.

my idea is called "one afternoon"

it's sort of like a giving tree. a pay-it-forward, if you will. and much better than an email chain that promises prosperity but delivers none.

my "gift" is an afternoon of free portraits as a thank you to those who helped get juli greenwood photography off the ground. in return, i ask just one thing (i know, there's always a catch).

that you'll give 30 minutes (or more) of your time to a friend, neighbor or charity, and ask them to do the same. and grand gestures need not apply, really. i'm talking a batch of cookies for your favorite sweet tooth, some weeding for an elderly neighbor, a ride across town for a carless friend... you get the idea.

i'd love it too if you could keep me posted on what you did and how it went. was your friend inspired to do the same? i'll post updates on our progress here.

my first afternoon of free sessions will be Saturday, July 25, 2:00-5:00 at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline. send me an email or post a comment to secure your spot.

let the giving begin -- and THANKS!

p.s. -- i plan to do another date in the Fall, stay tuned.
