Site Updated

In the last few days Paul R.Giunta has helped us get the site updated so that images are searchable, prices are easy to see, and the Doctors without Borders logo and endorsement is visible. Many other behind the scenes changes will make shopping faster and information more visible. Painstaking work in adding meta-data to each image was undertaken this week by myself and Paul.  Vance Green @vancegreen has also come on board to bring in the student activists and do daily upkeep on the site.

We are preparing for our national and international press releases and want to make sure the site is fully functional and easy to use before we invite the world to be our guest. Meanwhile you can contact your local press and please email, invite people to join as Facebook fans, and especially please come over and buy one pretty thing as a gift to yourself and the people of Haiti.

Each day there is more good news and more people offering to help and participate in various ways. We have over 110 generous photographers and have started a waiting list for others that wish to be involved. Since we are limiting each print to 10, they should rotate quickly and everyone will be included. There is a great deal of interest generated thus far, and we want to make sure that it translates into sales and funds for Doctors without Borders. We can use everyone's help in promotion before the full press release hits. If you have suggestions or contacts about venues for promotion please contact myself @Ithili or @laurabergerol via Twitter with information.

We are trying to plug in the excellent ideas and improvements you have suggested as fast as possible. Please remember that Paul, Laura, and I have day jobs too that we have to get back to, but we are working behind the scenes as fast as we can at about 12-14 hours a day!

Last, but not least, we are pleased to announce that Lizzie Caston has taken on Images without Borders as a pro bono account and is donating her expertise in communications and media relations. You can see her work: here

Laura and I would also like to give special thanks to some of the very first photograhers that came on board and supported us when this project was just an idea:
