On January 28, 2010, the opening day of this exhibition,105 prints sold! That adds up to $5,250.00 for Doctors Without Borders!
Today, January 29,2010 they will be adding one of my images, Nicaraguan Angel, to the exhibit. I took this photograph on Christmas Eve, 2008 outside of San Martin Church in Bluefields, Nicaragua. I lived in the town of Bluefields for 3 months during my Peace Corps Training and did my youth development preparation work (a Pedagogy of Photography project) at San Martin Church. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nicaragua from 2003-2006.
Here is what Eric J Keller, Gallery Director of Soul Catcher Studio is saying about the online benefit exhibit.
On January 12, 2010 a major 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, causing catastrophic damage and casualties. The quake was followed by several aftershocks with magnitudes over 5.0. The Haitian government has said more than 111,000 people died in the earthquake.
On January 21, 2010, I began to reach out to female fine art photographers from around the country, asking for their kind assistance in producing a benefit exhibition and sale of limited edition photographs. The premise was simple: Offer a limited edition print from each artist, in a numbered edition of ten prints, and sell them for just $50.00 each with 100% of the proceeds to be donated to Doctors Without Borders.
Their response was immediate, and now, just seven days later, I am very pleased to present the work of the following group of photographers:
Angela Bacon-Kidwell (Wichita Falls, TX)
Brigitte Carnochan (Portola Valley, CA)
Katie DelaVaughan (Brooklyn, NY)
Desiree Edkins (Scottsdale, AZ)

A message from Doctors Without Borders:
We are incredibly grateful for the generous support from our donors for the emergency in Haiti.
MSF/DWB has been working in Haiti for 19 years, most recently operating three emergency hospitals in Port-au-Prince, and is mobilizing a large emergency response to this disaster. Our immediate response in the first hours following the disaster in Haiti was only possible because of private unrestricted donations from around the world received before the earthquake struck. We are currently reinforcing our teams on the ground in order to respond to the immediate medical needs and to assess the humanitarian needs that MSF/DWB will be addressing in the months ahead.
We are now asking our donors to give to our Emergency Relief Fund. These types of funds ensure that our medical teams can react to the Haiti emergency and other humanitarian crises all over the world, particularly neglected crises that remain outside the media spotlight. Your gift via this website will be earmarked for our Emergency Relief Fund.
If you prefer, you may make a direct donation to Doctors Without Borders by phone at their toll-free number: 1-888-392-0392 - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We hope you enjoy this benefit exhibition and sale of extraordinary fine art photographs
