Madagascar trip, endangered species project photography

March 7, 2009

Hi All,

First ...this is Not spam!!!

I have been working towards a trip to Madagascar to photograph the endangered

species of animal, plants, everything I Can.

to that end I have entered the microsoft " name your dream assignment " for

photographers to win their dream assignment. The winner would have their

" assignment " funded along with a blog that would be followed by thousands. This

would be a great opportunity to raise awareness about endangered speices and

hopefully put madagascar more on the " map " . I think most people dont even know

where Madagascar is, or that it has species there that exsist nowhere else on

earth and many are endangered and need help. Also ,that 80 percent of its

people population is below poverty level. This contest would get a huge amount

of press, as well as the blog, with thousands of followers.

For me to get there, I need votes badley!! I need somwhere in the range of 100+

more votes to get to the top 20, to even be considered for final judging. I

have planned to choose (If I were so fortunate to win) another photographer from

the contest to go along , someone who has an interest in photographying

endangered speices too. Dont know what would be made as far as money, but would

hope for the project to travel in gallerys, maybe a book?? A percentage of any

profit would go back to Madagascar via WWF.

well, that is my plan, this is my " interenet " campaign attempt to hopfully get

some votes so this project could become a reality. If you care to help me out,

vote here:

It takes about 3 minutes , need to put in your name and email address to verify

the vote, then you need to hit the " pic it " button (yellow.)

thanks for any support.

Kim
