An Opportunity for Photographers to Give Back

9/17/2014

September is recruitment month for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS).

Each week I've been sharing guest posts and videos, but this one is the best yet, as seven different photographers summarize their experiences being a NILMDTS photographer. What I love about it is the way each artist talks about their involvement. In almost every case they address so many of the most common questions/fears, including the ability to control your emotions as you help a grief-stricken family in need.

If we had Emmys in this industry, this short video would be my leading nomination!

Here's a chance for you to give back in a way that utilizes your entire skill set, not just as a photographer but as a member of your community and society. Deborah Hendrix says it best...

"If you've been blessed, why not pay it forward?"

There two special free webinars coming up for those of you interested in learning more about how you can help. The first is tomorrow, September 18 and another on September 24. Just click the link below to register.

"Why?"

Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound byte. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. There were fifty different artists featured in 2016 and we anticipate doubling that in 2017. Click on the link above and you can scroll through all of the episodes to date.

Thanks so much, Skip, for sharing our newest video. We are so proud of the work that our Affiliated Photographers do. These few photographers that have been highlighted here truly represent a team of amazing and talented people that span across the country and into several others. We hope they will inspire others to join us in our mission. - Tiffany - Recruitment Coordinator
