How to Use Photography to Help Survivors of Natural Disasters
Operation Photo Rescue is a league of photographers and graphic designers who help survivors of natural disasters recover irreplaceable family photos.
When a town is hard hit by a natural disaster, OPR gets together and holds copy runs, sessions where people from the public can bring photos in to be salvaged. Kind of an amazing way to help survivors emotionally heal!
p.s. If you’re looking for other ways to help survivors of the tornado in Oklahoma, you can also donate to the Red Cross.
I volunteer with these guys. You don’t have to be a pro, you just need to be fairly proficient with photoshop or a similar photo editing program. The work they do really does bring comfort and joy to people who have lost so much. I highly recommend volunteering if you have the time and even the most basic image editing skills.
This is pretty cool. Maybe I can encourage my husband to help out.
