I am re-posting this from LinkedIn because I think it's a great opportunity for photographers to expand their horizons and do something meaningful AND have some fun.

From Rick D'Elia

I'm planning a workshop in Africa,a week of NGO work and a week of exploring wildlife parks and of course, am looking for participants.

Sorry for the repost, but these things get pushed out of view before too long.

I wanted to let you all know about a photo workshop I am planning for October in Uganda. We will be partnering workshop participants with individually with development and relief organizations (NGO's) working in the area around Kampala for a week to documentary photography. I've had the privilege of doing a great deal of this work over the years and would like to share this incredible experience with others.

Thing is that most of the orgs we will be working with don't always have access to good photography so the added bonus is helping them to gain that access so they can do a better job of communicating their missions to the world.

To be a little different, we also thought it would be pretty incredible after a week of working with these orgs, to add a week of photo safari in a couple of pretty amazing wildlife parks. If you think you might be interested please take a look at the blog we've set up to explain in detail: http://ugandaworkshop.blogspot.com ... and of course, please get in touch with me. And please pass the word if you know anyone who might be interested.

Best,
Rick

A new Fine Artist Group has evolved into the SiteWelder Family named, "ArtBrainStorming." Once rooted in the German private arts organization, #artmesh, http://www.ArtBrainStorming.com began as a small group of loosely knitted artists of fine art, from across the world, who then became a small group of their own. Their first project together - titled, "Diptych Duets," was reason enough to begin a public website so that our public friends could also share in it and our upcoming projects.

For the project - each artist created one half of a diptych and passed it on to another artist to complete. At the same time - a third artist also created a first half of a presumed diptych, and passed it on to another artist  whos first work went to another artist. Point being, is that every diptych would be comprised of unique artist combinations where everyone involved did both a first, and second half of a diptych - and no diptych contained the same two artist's works.

The site is also a place where friends from outside the original organization will be invited to join. One benefit is a growing annex of fine artists, and a new opportunity for each artist to participate and widen each their own World-Wide-Web art presence. As new group exhibitions are completed - they will be added to the, ArtBrainStorming Collections Folder. The Founder of this group is, Brad Michael Moore - who also has web presence on SiteWelder at http://www.AlphaSight.com
