The One Day Project has been rescheduled for March 14th

Sunday, March 14th we’ll be taking pictures that we hope will make a difference. Maybe not in the lives of the people we’re shooting (though we hope they’ll like the portraits we make) but in the lives of people we can’t shoot. The earthquake in Haiti hit a little closer to home than we’d expected it to and we found ourselves looking for a way to help. We’re not doctors or nurses or search & rescue experts. We can’t fly there and rebuild houses ourselves.

What we can to do is to help raise some badly needed money for the people that are their now and can do that work that needs to be done.

So what does this mean to you, and what is The One Day Project? If you make a donation to Oxfam then we’ll make a portrait of you for you to use as your profile picture on facebook, linked in, or any other social networking sites. We’re giving the 21st of February to work on this project. Please make a donation and e-mail us or head over to the booking form to let us know you’re coming.

And if you want to come by and help keep the day running smoothly, let us know.

This past weekend we had the great pleasure to take a road trip up to Philadelphia to welcome a new baby girl into the lives of two of our closest friends. While Heather was off at a baby shower for another of our Philadelphia friends I made some pictures of Stella for Seth & Meredith, the proud parents. She was adorable and very patient with all of the hubub around here.

It’s clear she’s going to be a very lucky kid with two wonderfully loving parents. I can’t wait to make many more pictures of her as she grows up.

More pictures after the break…

One fun location we used this autumn was Brookside Gardens. The kids had fun exploring the lakes, garden, and especially the pagoda on the island in the lake.

Rock Creek park and Silgo Creek parks let us get into the slightly wilder side of nature and Glen Echo park in Rockville has no end of things to amuse a 2 year old.

Here’s a quick gallery of some fun images from this autumn’s shoots.

The Baker’s Dozen Portraits are currently being featured in “The Bike Project: A Visual, Literary, and Cinematic Celebration” at the Rouse Company Foundation Gallery at Howard County Community College in Columbia, MD. The show runs from October 8th to November 15th, with a reception on October 24th from 5-7 pm.

Jason Marcella of Ten Pound Monkey used a photo of mine from last year’s Kelley Acres cyclocross race as the basis for a great poster he made for us for DCCX this year. You can check his website out at tenpoundmonkey.com and you can also follow DCCX on facebook and twitter to get the latest updates.

Shot at the Leesburg Bakers Dozen, a 13-hour mountain bike race, in 2009. A selection of these images were shown at Artomatic 2009 in Washington, DC, where dc.decider.com picked them as one of 5 installations to see amongst nearly 1000 in the show. They are currently on display as art of “The Bike Project: A Visual, Literary, and Cinematic Celebration” at the Rouse Company Foundation Gallery at Howard County Community College in Columbia, MD.
