For Life.

10 Jun

Today, a handful of Hallmark students and I will be going to the Franklin Country fairgrounds to document the 24 hour long Relay For Life starting this afternoon. I am extremely excited to be given the oppurtunity to photograph this deeply emotional weekend.

One of the events I was specifially assigned to photograph is the Survivor’s Ceremony where survivors of cancer gather together. I have always participated in Relay for Life events in my town and I am happy to be serving Franklin county with my friends and fellow photographers. It’s so awesome to see tons of supporters and survivors for this cause, it’s truly touching and I am blessed to be doing what I am doing and also be thankful for the health that I am in. Our group’s photos will be put together after the event in a slideshow to music and be shown at next year’s Relay for Life. This year our group will be making a “Purple couch video”, which will include small interviews of people that are participating in the walk talking about what Relay means to them while they sit on the “purple couch”. I am excited to be a part of this also. To see what other teams have done with this concept check out the video below! And stay tuned for photos that will be taken during Relay in the next blog!
