Welcome to the Photog Buzz

Welcome to my blog... the Photog Buzz!  In life you pretty much have two choices: you can think about doing something... or you can actually do it!  That's where I'm at with this blog.  I have always wanted to get involved in charity at a little bit deeper level then writing a check or volunteering my time for a day.  I have thought about it and talked about it with my wife for years, but I have never done anything about it.  What with owning my own business (non-photography) and raising five kids, I just always seemed to be too busy.  And the years went by.

I finally decided that I had talked about it long enough, it was time to do something.  So what could I do for charity that I would really enjoy?  I love photography and creating portraits, so I decided to offer portraits for charity... and thus, "Portraits for Water" was born.  I chose to support charity: water with my "Portraits for Water" campaign because 100% of your donation goes towards building wells for people who don't have access to clean, safe drinking water.  Something most of us take for granted without giving it a second thought.  All administrative costs for charity: water are paid for through corporate sponsorships.

This is a work in progress.  It is kind of exciting... but at the same time I don't know if anyone will even be interested in what I'm trying to do.  But you know what they say... "nothing ventured, nothing gained."

So here we go!  Check back in every now and then if you want to see how things are going!
