Getting to the Anaheim area for RWA Nationals a few days
early? Take some time away from that Happiest Place on Earth, and consider
getting some photos taken via the NOH8 Campaign
on Sunday.
A “photographic silent protest,” the NOH8 campaign started after Proposition 8 passed in
California. Here’s a look at their mission statement:
“The NOH8 Campaign is a charitable organization whose
mission is to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education,
advocacy, social media, and visual protest.”
Author/graphic artist Lex Valentine attended
the photo shoots in Los Angeles. She said that she had the pictures done for
two reasons.

“One, I believe in the campaign’s cause, in marriage
equality,” she said. “Two, I admire (photographer) Adam Bouska’s work and I
wondered how he’d make me look.”
From the young to the old, if you peruse the website, so
many different individuals have already taken pictures. *Fingers crossed* I’m
hoping to get some taken.
Here’s the information:

Darn it! I have three friends/family b-day party right at that time. Why Universe, WHY?
ReplyDeleteMaria -- I'm kinda in the same boat. My husband is doing something and I have the kids. Standing in line with a very impatient 5-year-old may not be the best thing!
