What goes around, comes.......

I am a great believer in giving back. I also believe in the what goes around come around train of thought and that giving will always be rewarded in some sense not just in a material way.
My son attends a local nursery and I approached them with the idea of creating some unique graduation images for the kids leaving to start school after the summer.
All profit from the initial sales of these images would go to Rachel House a local charity.
I strongly believe that this would be a win/win situation for all involved - the kids/parents would get nice images to look back on, the charity would make a couple of hundred to help towards the work it does and I would benefit from the good publicity generated by such a move. It wasn't the easiest shoot to organise with having to run between two nurseries, shoot 25 kids, choosing a day when the kids attended and dodging the wind and rain but I would be lying if I said it was difficult.

So for all those photographers with quite spells in their year (most would have some time) I urge you to see how you can give something back to your community. As I said what goes around comes around and I plan to repeat the exercise next year on a bigger scale.
