On Friday, I got to see my work exhibited for a great cause at Mama’s Day 2012, the premiere fundraising event for Mama’s Kitchen. I only got to snap a few shots of the gallery space with my phone before the battery died but it was very humbling to see it all come together after a few months of planning and shooting.
The gallery was Heather Bowden’s (chair for MD2012) brainchild and a first for this long-running fundraiser. It was meant to show that Mama’s Kitchen’s greatest resources are the human beings that volunteer, donate, and benefit from it. I was told that previous Mama’s Day events didn’t include a prominent visual basis for the organization but with the gallery project at this year’s event, it quite literally gave a face to the cause–hopefully spurring more donations and creating a bigger impact.
