Intro to Project ReCapture
I can’t begin to imagine the grief that people who have lost family and homes in the fires are feeling. We packed up and evacuated early Saturday morning as we live in a high fire danger area. Thankfully our homes and actually the entire hills were spared from the fires, but its horrendous to contemplate the amount of loss.
In asking God what we could do to help those affected by the fires, I realise that He calls us to use the gifts that he has given us. I’m not a firefighter, or a trained counsellor, but we are photographers, and we can use this gift to bless those that have lost their precious memories in the fires. Though their photographs are irreplaceable, we can provide them with new memories, new photographs of their family.
Light FM Podcast - Segment 1
Cassie and Leroy from the Buzz talk to Karen Alsop of Emerald Eye Photography about keeping your precious photos backed up and safe.
We are still trying to come up with a name for this segment on Light FM so if you have any ideas please contact LightFM
Project ReCapture Update
Cassie and Leroy from The Buzz speak to Karen about Project ReCapture and how it is progressing since last weeks interview.
As Wedding and Portrait photographers we know how important it is to protect peoples memories, we had backups of backups in various places during the fire danger (including online) and took all our hard drives and computers down the mountain with us to the safety of my parent’s house. But there are those that didn’t expect the fires to ravage their area, or who couldn’t collect their photos before evacuating lost everything.
Project ReCapture gathers photographers from across the State of Victoria that will offer free Portraits of families who have lost their precious memories in the fires. The Photographers will provide families with prints and files of their new ReCaptured memories.
Christmas Photos
Luke and Susie from the Morning Wakeup recently interviewed me on their show, sharing tips on family pics at Christmas.
It was great to be a part of the show, even though I was in Queensland at the time of the interview and they rang me at 6:00am QLD time! Considering I think I sound pretty chirpy!
Luke and Susie wrote about the segment in their own blog on the Light FM site:
The Christmas photo…. AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!: One thing that is so fabulous about Christmas is that we sometimes get a chance to see our whole families together. For some, this could be the only time all year that everyone’s all in the one place. So, naturally, people want to remember the occasion with a Christmas family photo. Oh no!!! For those who love photos, no problem! But, many people aren’t fans of having their photos taken. We need to remember that it’s important to our families that we’re included in moments like the family photo. So, how can you be involved, without dreading how the photo will turn out? We got some tips from photographer Karen Alsop from Emerald Eye Photography . There are simple things we can do to make sure we look and feel our best and really make it a happy snap! You can hear Karen’s ideas on today’s podcast.
