With a photo shoot generally netting hundred of photos, the vast majority of the work ends up never being viewed as the Calendars will only have 3 or 4 photos from a Department. As I have expanded into doing photos of tactical teams, mounted officers and K-9 officers, I've encountered the same dilemma, that most of the photos are only seen by a few members of a Department. To showcase photos I am putting together a coffee table book. In the weeks and months after my friend Deputy Larry Canfield was killed in the line of duty, the plans for the book and the establishment of a charity to assist the extended family, friends and fellow officers started to come together. I am still working on the 501(c)3 paperwork and the other details in starting such an organization. A portion of the proceeds from the photo book will go to fund the "We have not forgotten" charity. One of the things that really hit me was hearing one of the SCSD deputies telling me that when he got the terrible news and all of the area motor officer's families were dropping everything to gather together, how his son had to go pick up his little brother at school. The son had to tell the youngest son that "... Tylor and Bryce's dad had been killed..." and how hard that was, not only for the son but for the dad hearing the account of what had happened in the drive from the school to the house. The book will feature about 30 law enforcement agencies. A featured agency will have a short bio, and photo spreads over 4-6 pages depending on the size of the agency. In addition to featured agencies, there will be photo sections of:
I'm looking for "significant photo opportunities" for the book. If there is that one photo you've always wanted to get your department to do, well, now's the time! I'm still making some small adjustments as this comes together, so if you have any comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to share them with me. GET INCLUDED!!! Become a featured unit! |
