Photo Lottery 2009 May 30th at AS220

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, I recently joined forces with a righteous local
arts organization in Providence RI by the name of AS220
(www.as220.org). Every other year AS220’s photo program holds a
“Photo Lottery,” which generates funds to cover the expenses of
running a darkroom/photography program that is open to the public and
the free of charge classes and access we provide to young people
(15-21) who would not otherwise have these opportunities. It is the
only public darkroom facility in the state and I think we would all
agree that its important to keep such a place afloat with our personal
support if we are able.

I’m writing to invite you to purchase a ticket for this year’s Photo
Lottery, which is coming up at the end of this month. Purchasing a
ticket for the Photo Lottery is not only a donation that supports a
great non-profit–it is an investment in growing an artistic
community–and it’s an exciting and potentially profitable move for
yourself! This year photographs have been donated from talented local
photographers, as well as from internationally famous photographers,
such as Danny Lyon (classic print from the Bikeriders series), Jock
Sturges (color panorama over 4 ft in length), Henry Horenstein, Denny
Moers and Mona Kuhn. Ther
