Just beautiful! cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Tina Manley Sent: May-18-16 12:25 PM To: MUGers at yahoogroups.com; Leica Users Group; paw; seephoto; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] IMGS: Syrian Refugees PESO: I've had to put Iran on hold for now and work on a project that's coming up too soon. Winthrop University and several churches are sponsoring a project to help Syrian refugees. As a part of the fund-raising, I will be having an exhibit in the Winthrop gallery called Putting a Face on Syria. It will consist of life-sized black and white prints of Syrian refugees (mostly children) that I have met in Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iran. The prints will be for sale, but I'll also be selling note-cards for a whole lot less. For every $25 we raise, we can send a Syrian child to school for a year. I thought I'd make the note-cards a contrast to the prints with a dreamy, sepia look instead of the direct, confrontational black and white of the big prints. I've put a few up on my website to think about them for a few days before I do any more. I will only choose one of each child but I have lots more children to go. Each one will include the name of the child. What do you think? http://tinamanley.photoshelter.com/gallery/Syrian-Refugees/G0000rQI3x98XfMI/ Tina -- Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com tina-manley.artistwebsites.com http://www.alamy.com/stock-photography/3B49552F-90A0-4D0A-A11D-2175C937AA91/ Tina+Manley.html _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
