Fund my Photo Book: All for Charity
Donation protected
I'm Matt Kurtin and I'm a guy that likes to take pictures and help others.
As some of you may know I am trying to create a Photo Book that tells the story of skateboarding through portraits. Unfortunately, making these aren't cheap! I intend on telling the story of skating in four parts: the pioneers, the legends, the current amazing skaters, and lastly (but not least) the people behind the lens!
Artistically this is something that has not been done. I also intend on using ONE type of film, ONE lens and ONE camera for the whole project. You can see the sample pictures to get an idea of what it will look like.
I have had preliminary talks with people in the industry that are willing to help me get this project done. I just need to come up with the money to get the books get made.
This may sound selfish, but no, I'm not just making this book to try and make some money. ALL proceeds from this book will go to charity (American Cancer Society, Children's Hospital, Dylan Rieder's Family, and a few other select charities).
Every penny will go toward getting this book made. I already have the camera, I already have the film (well, most of it) and the funding is the last part that I need. Once I have the funding, the doors will open to me and I'll get access to taking portraits of all these amazing people, and more importantly, raising money for charity.
This means the world to me; it is a project that I want to do so badly. I will make this book happen, I hope that you all are willing to help me.
