On the Road Again
If you haven’t heard the news, Forever Young Photography is moving to Cary, North Carolina. I will be traveling across the country starting today so wish us luck. The best way to reach me the rest of the week would be via phone. Additionally, I should have access to emails late in the evening at most hotels this week. Talk to you soon!

The American Cancer Society: San Mateo County Inaugural Gala Donation
I am happy to announce that one of my personal works will be auctioned off to help raise money for the American Cancer Society. I donated a 24″ x 30″ Gallery Wrap of a photograph by Forever Young Photography LLC.
I am happy to donate this piece to the organization and hope that it brings in a good amount in the silent auction. 
Interested in getting tickets for the event? Check out the ACS website. The event takes place this weekend – Saturday October 17, 2009 in Menlo Park, CA. Tickets for the evening are $100.
More information about how the money raised will be put to good use are listed below. Check out their website for more information.
“We aspire to make this a successful Inaugural Event with your help. Funds raised at the gala will support American Cancer Society’s cancer research and free community-based patient services such as:
- Provide accurate and timely information to cancer patients, families and caregivers 24/7 through our toll-free hotline: 1-800-227-2345.
- Fund state-of-the-art cancer research projects. This past year alone, American Cancer Society has funded 150 research projects in California totaling over $62 million.
- Give a wig and a makeover to a woman who has lost her hair due to cancer treatment.
- Provide a ride for a cancer patient to a treatment appointment and back home.”

Advice from a Bumblebee
When photographing a wedding, a bride had the little notebook above. I thought it was a really cute saying and wanted to share it with you. Do something special today to enjoy the present. Happy Summer!

Have an old pair of jeans you can’t part with???
Okay so I like many people have a fav pair of jeans that has passed its prime. I have come to terms with the fact that it is time to send them off to a better place. Unfortunetly, they are so past a state to donate to Good Will – they have holes and would not make it on the rack to be resold. So, I searched the internet in hopes for a jean recycling program. I thought I had heard that there were companies out there that would recycle jeans; with a little searching I found the perfect one: Cotton from Blue to Green. Here is an explanation of the program from the website:
“What Are We Going to Do With All This Denim?
All the denim will be donated to COTTON. FROM BLUE TO GREEN.®. This denim drive recycles jeans into UltraTouch™ Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation, which is used to help build houses in places that have been damaged by hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. Your jeans will help set a record, keep clothes out of landfills, and build houses for families to live in!
It’s a Fact
It takes about 500 pairs of jeans to recycle enough denim to insulate one average-size U.S. house. So send us lots!”
Have a pair of jeans that you should really pass along? Now you have a good reason to do so. Click here for more info on the program. I am going to send my jeans in today. I feel good that my fav jeans will be put to a good use. Hurry and send yours in too. They have to be received by June 30th!!

It is always great to learn new things. I feel it is important to keep growing and challenging yourself. I just registered for an online photography trade show which fits in line with my environmental action plan that I recently discussed on my blog. No traveling required, the tradeshow is brought to you all online – presentations, classes, exhibits, networking all done from your compuer. If you are a professional photographer and would like to sign up for the tradeshow, here’s the link.
