The 24-Hour Cure
Hey, everyone, I hope you are having a great summer!
For anyone who is around the St. Louis area, I have a great oppurtunity for you to network with some local photographers. The photographer I am interning with this summer, Jeremy Deweese, is the president of the St. Louis chapter of ASMP. He started a charity called the 24-hour Cure to benefit the American Diabetes Association and to create community among area photographers. On November 7, 2008, photographers all over the St. Louis area photographed their life for 24 hours, and now their images will be display in the Sheldon Art Gallery. The images will be sold, and the proceeds will all be donated to the ADA.
On June 12, there will be an opening reception at the Sheldon from 5-7, and anyone is welcome to attend. There will most likely be free wine and food, and photographers from all over the St. Louis area will be there.
If you would like more information you can go to:

Should be a great time!
