Katrina Relief Fund

This is really cool.

I got an invitation on flickr this morning to join a group Hurricane Katrina Relief Auction. If you don't know what that means, well, basically flickr is all about social photo sharing and there are group pools of various themes.

The theme of this one is amazing.

Basically, I choose a picture. I say: I will frame and matte an 11x14 version of this picture and send it to you, wherever you may be. You bid on the picture. The winning bidder donates the said amount to the Red Cross to support Katrina victims then forwards the receipt of that donation to the moderator of the group who then gives me the thumbs up. Then I send the picture to you.

So: I donate picture, framing, matting and packaging.
You: Donate money to the Red Cross (which you might have done anyway) and get a framed picture.

Pretty cool, huh?

I've put this picture into it. If you like it, please please bid on it. I don't know if you need to be a flickr member or not, but if you do, it only takes a minute to sign up. If you like some of my other pictures better, let me know and I'll donate one of those, too, so you can bid. Or if you want a specific picture of London, well, the weather's amazing and is supposed to stay that way all weekend, so I'll go out specially for you and take some good ones and then you can bid.
