Flashes of Hope

Post by Ivor Karabatkovic »

I'd like to share this video with my fellow observers.

The photographers showcased in this segment are my sponsor family which took my family under their wing when we first moved to the US.

Chris and Bill Pappas are photographers based in Cleveland and they do a lot of commercial work. Every now and then an opportunity like this shows up and it's a wonderful thing.

"Flashes of Hope is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating uplifting portraits of children fighting cancer and other life threatening illnesses. The portraits, taken by award-winning photographers, help children feel better about their changing appearance by celebrating it. For families of terminally ill children, it's especially important to have a portrait that preserves forever the beauty, grace and dignity of their child."- from the flashes of hope website...

on top you will see "galleries" and you can view the Cleveland gallery.

I wonder if something like this would be possible in Lakewood. I wouldn't hesitate dedicating my time for something like this. Chris Pappas just bought a house in Lakewood and I hope that we can bring this project here.

Let me know your thoughts.

That is fantastic! It reminds me of the movie Born Into Brothels. For anyone who hasn't seen it, check it out NOW.
