Here’s another way to help victims of Katrina: buy a photo from the Katrina Relief Auctions on flickr. Several hundred photographers have put their pictures up for auction.
Here’s how it works:
- Look through the list of images in the Katrina Relief Auction photo pool.
- If you find one you like, follow the link to its discussion thread, and make your bid in the thread.
- No one at flickr will ever handle your money. If you make the winning bid, you pay directly to the Red Cross, and then you show a copy of your receipt to the Relief Auction Administrator. At that time, the photographer will send your print to you.
I’ve added my “most favorited” picture to the auction.
I’ll send an 8×10” of Two Women, Sam Sand Dunes to the winner. The auctions end on September 15 at 11:59 PST. Whether you bid on my image, or anyone else’s, if you enjoy good photography and want to help victims of Katrina this is a fun way to contribute.
