Dear Family and Friends,

I’ve been offered an incredible job as “Staff Photographer” at the official Ansel Adams gallery In Yosemite National Park. Essentially, I’ll be teaching small groups on how to take better pictures in the heart of Yosemite Valley. It’s a 4-month contract that could lead to even more work afterward. I’m ecstatic about the opportunity and have been hoping and praying for this dream to become a reality. That time is now! I set out for California in just three weeks.

I’m packing super light with my cameras, guitar, and other necessities that fit in the car. As you might imagine, driving from NY to Yosemite is quite costly. Gas, tolls, motels, and black coffee all add up. I am writing to ask for your help. Your contribution (big or small) will go directly towards this journey of a lifetime. I will be forever grateful for any help (big or small).

For donations of $200 or more, I will mail you an original 16x20 color print from beautiful Yosemite National Park.

For donations of $100 and up, I will email you a special weekly newsletter with images and stories from the trip.

Contributions of $50 or more will be added to my monthly newsletter in which I’ll share behind the scenes images and photo tips from Yosemite.

Please know that anything you donate will be super appreciated. Your generosity is a blessing and I’m so grateful for you all.

From the bottom of my heart,
Chris
