I’ve written about the Heart Gallery before …. a collaboration of photographers and adoption agencies to help make adoption more of a reality for children across the United States.  This is the fourth year I’ve participated and the 2009 online gallery has just been posted to coincide with the  Grand Opening of the 2009 Michigan Heart Gallery at the State Capitol.   

Once again, I cannot post the photo I shot for this year’s Heart Gallery, but I can give you the link .  Clue:  Mine is in B&W

The photo above is another from the days of film.  Happy Valentines day!

There are many state and community sponsored Heart Gallery projects.  If you are a photographer, please do a quick search and see if there is a Heart Gallery project in your community.  If so, please consider volunteering.  It is an extraordinarily meaningful experience and a great way of giving back to a child and to your community.

For privacy reasons I am not able to post pictures from the gallery, but you can visit the Michigan Heart Gallery HERE
