Photography for Feed the Children

This past weekend I attended the 2nd Annual Southeast StarBQ in Lumberton, NC. This is an even held annually by Star Touring and Riding. As a member of this motorcylce riding group, I participate in several events through out the year. I am the vice president of the Atlanta chapter.

This year for the StarBQ I was asked if I would be willing ot come and take bike photos. We agreed on $10 per picture with monies going ot the primary charity of STAR which is Feed the Children.

For the event I decided to try a green screen with several backgrounds. This was something I had never done before, but figured I would give it a try.

To make a long story short, it was a great success. I went hoping to do maybe 20 pictures and contribute the entire $300 to the charity. I underestimated. By days end I had printed 40 picture and at the end of the day was able to donate the proceeds of the day in the form of a check for $400 to the local STAR chapter and Feed the Children.

It was great. I had fun doing the event. I suceeded beyond my wildest dreams and helped a charity I really believe in.

In the next couple of days I will post a few of the pictures I took, just to show a sample of what I did.
