CALL TO ACTION FOR PHOTO PROFESSIONALS EVERYWHERE!

I have compiled a small list of fantastic non-profits that need your help. I challenge my fellow photographers to pick an organization (or more than one) and donate your time and talent for a wonderful cause! It can be as simple as once or on a regular basis. Please check out these fabulous organizations.
