Eyes Wide Open Worldwide (EWOW)'s photostream |
Eyes Wide Open Worldwide was established in 2005 by Ty Fischer in Springfield, Ohio, U.S.A., to help children realize their dreams through the art of photography.
ABOUT US:
Eyes Wide Open Worldwide (EWOW) is an organization dedicated to helping underserved youth develop their passion for art and photography through mentoring relationships with professional artists, quality exhibits and sharing perspectives of youth from around the world. We are encouraging children through hard work, compassion and creativity to follow their dreams and live them.
Based in Springfield, Ohio, EWOW collaborates with other organizations to facilitate local photography programs for children as well as projects nationally and abroad – virtually connecting children globally and sharing their perspectives through the universal language of photography.
EWOW combines mentoring with the creative element of photography to inspire a powerful experience with the potential to transform lives. Children in an EWOW project are paired with a professional photographer to learn about the principles of photography, the elements of design and the creative process through intensive study of a particular theme such as architecture or family life.
Through this process children and mentors establish a bond and learn from each other. Children experience the power of the creative process, discover a means of constructive self expression, and learn important life skills and values such as setting and achieving goals. They experience pride in and celebrate their accomplishments together with their mentors through a professional exhibit featuring their work. Every child develops a personal portfolio of professional quality work. Inspired youth are encouraged to give back by becoming mentors themselves

"Ty, I pray for nothing but success for you and EWOW. Your organization is a blessing for so many children. I can only imagine the joy, the smiles, and laughter that EWOW brings to the children whose lives you've touched by fostering their creativity. On behalf of all the children that you've touched and futures one, and speaking as an art teacher, for your organization. On a personal note, thank you for being my friend, confidante, and mentor as I take each small step with LOVE."

"EWOW has been a personal project of mine since October, 2005. I am still in complete amazement of the children's photos. It is very exciting to be able to work on projects with many children who do without most of the time. To be able to provide them with a once in a lifetime opportunity that generates self-esteem,a release of creativity, and an excitement for the arts. I am truly blessed to be a part of this wonderful organization."
