"Step Into Africa" with World Vision

Last night, I put on my other hat as a World Vision Child Ambassador at the "Step Into Africa" exhibit held at Trinity United Presbyterian Church in Santa Ana. Participants were able to experience the walk of a child living in an AIDS-infected country in Africa. Many of these kids are orphans who have lost both parents to AIDS. This interactive exhibit featured a stirring audio tour combined with captivating visual imagery. It became possible to gain a completely new perspective on the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time. The photo above shows the prayer wall at the exhibit. I'm pleased to report that since it started a few days ago, over 270 children have been sponsored by people just like you with their financial support of $35 a month. If you are interested, please email me at jkellykpv@yahoo.com for more information. You can choose your child's location, gender, age etc. if desired.

We also provide photo and video services for groups and organizations such as dance school teams. The girls and their instructors are never short on imagination when it comes to designing their new outfits. The energy the kids have combined with the rainbow of colors make for fun photographs to give to friends and family members.

Jennifer and Jerry at the Huntington Beach Pier

Two super nice customers, Jennifer and Jerry were married on January 31st. We started the wedding day photo coverage at the Huntington Beach Pier (she didn't mind him seeing her before the wedding). Mother Nature was good to us that day. Photographing their wedding was truly a great experience.

5 Years Ago....

In 2004, I had the opportunity to go to New York to take some photographs at the American Bankers Association annual convention at the New York Marriott Hotel in Times Square. NBC-TV anchorman Tom Brokaw gave one of the keynote speeches as well as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve at the time, Alan Greenspan. My longtime friend Mark (he lives in Iowa) and I journeyed out one day to look around the city. The photo seen here was taken on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. If you have never been to New York, definitely make plans to go see the Statue of Liberty. It's incredible to behold in person. Another site we visited was the World Trade Center "ground zero" site in Manhattan; another site I'll never forget. The last time I had been there was in 1984 when I took some photos while standing on the top floor of the south tower.
