LOOKING TOWARDS A NEW WEEK

In a few days Images without Borders burst into the world, and no one is more surprised than Laura Bergerol and myself. A great deal progress has been made thanks to the work of literally hundreds of people. There have been problems to solve and happy synchronicity's. Our first donation to Doctors without Borders will be made early this week--as soon as they tell us how they would like to receive it!

Yesterday H.D. Connelly created a Facebook page HERE, which will help spread the word to buyers and collectors. Since each photo is offered in a limited edition of 10, this is a great opportunity to aquire a valuable addition to a photo collection while helping others in need.

Images without Borders has also recieved help from PR consultants at no charge and we hope to begin this week to utilize their suggestions. Press releases will be the first order of business. Sales are already being fulfilled and growing gradually. Considering that there has been no press coverage, we are very happy with the progress so far. All contributors please help to spread the world to those who are interested in your work.

A few people have asked how to order on the site. Just click on the photo you are interested in, add it to your cart, and keep browsing. You can delete anything from the cart and change your mind, as in any other online shopping experience, and browsers are not committed to buy until you put in your credit card number. All printing and mailing is taken care of through the Photoshelter site, one reason why so many professional photographers work through them.

Last, but not least, we have new images coming in from several photographers on the ground in Haiti. http://www.photoshelter.com/c/imageswithoutborders/gallery/IMAGES-FROM-HAITI-TODAY/G0000pSMSACQX_Ho/ The images are incredible. Our thanks and thoughts go out to Tony Cece (@tonycece) and Jose Jimenez Tirado.

Thanks also to Torsten Geyer for this Flickr post http://www.flickr.com/photos/torstengeyer/4298651634/ showcasing a stunning iPhone photograph.

These thoughts by E.G. Hamlin came in today via his post: It Could Be You or Even Me

I am trying to add links to contributor's websites on this page, and ultimately these will also be available on the main website as well, but there is so much happening so quickly that this will take place a little at a time.

Thanks to all the passionate artists who have leant their support and to Photoshelter, our donors of time, printing, and expertise, and to the Doctors working so hard in Haiti and around the world. I have heard that they should be called "Doctors without Rest!"
