A message to all members of SA PHOTOGRAPHY
Please get involved in the PHOTOS FOR HOPE event. It's a world first event where 100 000 images will be gathered from photographers and sold to raise funds and awareness for The Sunflower Fund.
It's going to be widely broadcast leading up to the event and we're hoping to get participation from the entire South African photographic community.
The event takes place on Saturday the 16th July at Melrose Arch in Sandton. Get to the Facebook event page (

Press Release
Buy A Photo - Save A Life
A photo can do so much more than capture a moment in time, it can act as a time machine, transporting you back to point in your life, it can stir something real inside you, it can document an event, a first step, the devastation of an earthquake in Japan and on the 16th of July, with your help, it can save a life.
This is the premise behind 100,000 Photos For Hope, a one day exhibition and auction, that will be held at Melrose Arch on the 16th of July. Photographers from across the country and even some from across the world have donated signed A4 prints that will be displayed and sold for R100 each, to raise funds for The Sunflower Fund.
All moneys raised from the event will go towards growing the South African Bone Marrow Registry and provide hope to those suffering from life threatening blood disorders. It costs R1000 to test someone to the requisite level to be placed on the South African Bone Marrow Registry, a registry that, for many, is the only chance of survival.
When you have someone in your life that has been diagnosed with leukaemia or another life threatening blood disorder, you never know when the next photo you take will be the last.
Do your part and be at
100,000 Photos for Hope on 16th July 2011, at Melrose Arch from 09h00
. Popular bands Isochronous, Lonehill Estate, Dance You’re on Fire and more are generously donating their time and will provide the soundtrack to the event - stay tuned for the full line-up!
