The news out of Japan this past week has been truly heartbreaking. Just trying to do my part to help out.
I'm auctioning an unframed, signed 20 x 20" print of Another Day, Another fairytale from my "Passionate Earth" series. The photo is printed on Kodak Endura Professional paper with a metallic finish, and it's absolutely gorgeous. You can read what I wrote about the print here: scphotography.blogspot.com/2010/01/ones-i-like-list-of-20...
I'll also throw in a handwritten thank you note and a few surprise goodies!
Bidding will begin at $40 USD. Current Bid: $200.
List Price on Etsy: $125
If you'd like to bid, please do so in the comments of this photo. If you want to bid but don't have a flickr account -- email me at slightclutter@yahoo.com or leave a message on my Facebook page, and I'll enter the bid below for you.
The auction for this print will end on Sunday, March 20, 2011 at 12 noon Pacific Time/2 PM CST.
By bidding you agree that if you are the winner of this auction, you will donate the full winning bid to either Doctors Without Borders for their efforts in Japan www.doctorswithoutborders.org/ or the American Red Cross for their efforts in Japan american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?idb=0&5052.donat... .
Once I receive proof of your donation via email (for this auction, it must be in the form of a screen capture), I will then send the print to you. I will cover the cost of the unframed print and shipping.
Thanks so much for bidding.

Ok I had decided that I would up my bid to $150 this morning, only to find it is not enough. Like Hipsters I am in love with this picture so my new bid is $185.

Only about 16 more hours on this particular auction. I truly want to thank all of you for making this happen. I'm one of those "overly sensitive" types, who really get affected by other people's hurt. So, this...at least...makes me feel proactive, makes me feel that I'm doing my very small part to help in the healing. As are all of you...in spades. So again...thanks!
Oh, and I plan to run another action that starts tomorrow. Now...to figure out which photo! :)

I'm so glad you're doing this - both to support the relief efforts in Japan as well as giving me an opportunity to bid on you're work. Thank you.
I'd like to up the bid to $200.

Thank you so much, David! I guess I undershot this because I was crossing my fingers to raise about $100. So many warm and generous hearts out there. And if the print can find a good place in someone's home (or as a gift!) -- bonus!

Just wanted to share a second auction that I've started -- the namesake of the Passionate Earth series.

This auction is officially closed. I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. I can't donate much myself, so I love the idea of working together to turn my $40 or so of printing and shipping costs into something much larger -- in this case a $200 donation for Japan relief. Again, I'm touched beyond belief. Thank you.
Winner: David Leswick

Damm. I just logged in to bid again. Doh. too bad! Us GMT'ers never quite get the hang of EST PST times.
Well done to Slight Clutter for the great image and to David for winning, Lucky man.

Thanks again for putting this print up for auction! I really look forward to having it in my living room.
Thanks again!

hipsters: You're still a rockstar in my book. If I do something similar with this print on Etsy, which I'm strongly considering, I'll post an update here. :)
dave: thanks, again!!

It's a lovely photo (enjoy!) and a lovely gesture. I plan to give to the Red Cross and will be sure to check back in at the 'auction', too.
