A special thanks to all of you who sent in nominations for the "Giving is Awesome". I am sorry for the delay in posting the winner (please forgive me).  

The complimentary custom portraits goes to: Karen Schatz. Karen is a single mom who home schools her son Cody. She runs her own business and is an active part of her community and serves on several church ministries.

I can’t wait to work to work with Karen and her son. Thanks again and I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year!

Happy New Year

Hey everyone. Life has been kinda crazy since Christmas eve and I haven't had a change to Blog or announce the winner of  "Giving is Awesome" contest. But the new year is right around the corner and I plan on a little house cleaning. So, look for the "Giving is Awesome" winner to be announced on January 1, 2009.

Until then, I leave you with this very cute cartoon "What the Duck" (click here to visit their web site). Have a safe and Happy New Year!!

Love Wins - Giving is Awesome


I am joining with photographers worldwide in the Giving is Awesome call to action to help make a difference for one deserving individual or family this holiday season.


You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.


You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography -- $500 worth, to be exact. Whether it's canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over, it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $250 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in the southern Maryland area (Calvert, Charles, St. Mary's, and Prince George's counties). Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : danny@studiodouglas.com

The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve (or shortly after that) -- get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

Love wins,

Danny
