I really like this shot. The five palm trees in the foreground provide very good visual stimulation and forces the viewer to search be...

7 year old Elric Childress is suffering from a rare form of brain cancer called DIPG and unfortunately there is not cure. When he and his parents found out they were told he only had 4 to 6 months to live and there are about only 200 cases a year. Elric's parents did some research and found a place that does clinic trials for kids like Elric. Once they viewed Elric's MRI's the doctors said they had some good treatments that could help him live a happy and healthy life. Elric's father was self-employed but made the choice to give up his work to move his whole family to be with Elric at St Jude's Hospital.

The money that I brought in from my photography packages through 'My Tag Art' in Jan. will be going straight to Elric's family with the amount matched by me and my wife. I will be doing the same thing for the month of Feb. You can go to [link] to view and do your purchasing.

If you just want to make a small donation please feel free to do so, even if it's just 50 cents or $1. Anything will help. Don't forget that me and my wife will be matching what is raised so that 50 cents will be turned into $1 and that $1 will be turned into $2. You can go to www.paypal.com and select to send money and send it to sillyjaimi@gmail.com. Make sure to mark that it's a donation or gift. You do not have to have an account to use paypal. If you have never used paypal before, then please feel free to email my wife at sillyjaimi@gmail.com and she can walk you thru it.

Let's help make things a little easier for this little guy and his family! If you are a Psp Hobbiest, then you may know Monti. She is a pixel artist as well as scrapkit creator and the Childress family are close friends of hers! So I hope you will help.

I've been in the US Navy for 12 years and I'm gonna try and stick it out for the next 8. why, you may ask? Retirement, that's why! I can get a retirement check at the age of 41, just in time to start another career. I'm an Interior Communications Electrician on board the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74). Right now I'm working on my teaching credentials and I hope to teach college or high school photography once I retire from the Navy. I've been shooting seriously for about 3 years now, although I have always loved photography. I am proficient in the use of Adobe Lightroom, an amazing RAW processing software, and I often give Lightroom training lectures at Olympic College to the students in the photography program.

hey, i´ve just read that you want to teach photography somewhen. well i really hope your dream gets true, cause i always wished i would have had the opportunity to learn it from somebody. :aww:
it´s quite hard to learn everything by doing, without having someone to help you :yum: , so i hope you get the chance to help kids having fun with photography =D
