Art for the Cause Event : The Leukemia Needs Foundation

Posted by Elizabeth Stacy | Posted in Announcements, Photography Contests / Events
Posted on May 2, 2011

The Leukemia Needs Foundation is kicking off it’s first Art for the Cause event in New York City.   LNF asked a select group of very talented artists to donate 1signed print to auction off at the event. The response for benefiting was amazing and over 30 artists have contributed for the event.

It’s going to be quite an incredible show. They will be auctioning off the works with all the proceeds going directly to the foundation, and from there, into the patients hands where it is going to do some real good. There is a reason that this is being held on May 5th instead of some other day. That happens to be the 1 year anniversary of photographer, James Weber’s successful bone marrow transplant.  See all the event details below.

…… David Field! Congratulations from your friends at Foto Care.  We asked David how he felt after learning he was now the proud owner of the H4D40:

“How do I feel?”

” I feel great!  haha.  I feel more justified in the amount of money that I spent executing each challenge.  Little achievements like this keep one’s morale going which is important these days especially”

Enjoy shooting with your brand new H4D40 – we look forward to seeing the new body of work. For those not familiar with the HassyNYC Challenge or David’s work, we are re-posting a slide show of his visually stunning images below.  Three cheers for David!

Part two of our four part series about the HassyNYC photo contest where photo fans are coming together for a chance to win the new H4D camera system. Here we take a look at the extraordinary world of Victoria Field one of the three NY photographers participating in they HassyNYC challenge.


Step inside Victoria’s not so secret world, where things are a bit out the ordinary. Though the modern portrait is her specialty, she also has an eye for both the mainstream and the peculiar in fashion and arts.

Victoria Will resides in Manhattan but hails from the Nation’s capital. She adores French bull dogs, electronic gadgets, a good sense of humor, country music, meeting new people and beautiful things.  That is why she became a photographer and there are few things she enjoys more than her work.

Her work frequently appears in US and Foreign magazines including TV Guide, Vogue Nippon, People Style Watch, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Blackbook. She is a graduate of Princeton University.

Clients include Time Warner, Guess, Warner Music, Closet Couture, Warner Bros. and Sigerson Morrison to name a few.
