The 2010 Professional Photographers of North Carolina Western Seminar was held this past weekend at the Meadowbrook Inn in Blowing Rock. It was an honor to serve as the Seminar Chairman for this workshop.
Being the Chairman took up a lot of my time lately, but I really enjoyed spending time with my PPNC family and the speakers were awesome. But while were we up there, we got to help some families that are going through tough times.
We held a food drive and donated the food to the Hunger and Health Coalition. Their food pantry distributes food to over 750 families in Watauga County every month and one out of every three people that receives the food is a child.
We each brought a few cans, boxes or bags of non-perishable food to the seminar and together we donated 401 pounds of food. It was a really cool site to see the pile of food build. My friend James Dockery captured this image of my other dear friend Sherry Coffey stacking the food in a neat design.
Here is an image of me and Hunger and Health's Executive Director Compton Fortuna. Thanks to my pal Lisa Carter for creating this image for me.
And a big thank you to all of my PPNC family for making this happen.
