“The 6 Million People Project at Flickr is collecting pictures of 6 million people, one portrait at a time. The photo pool stands a tribute to the 6 million Jewish people and millions of others who died during the Nazi Holocaust.”

Keeping awareness about the Holocaust is important and The 6 Million People Project aims to do this with the help of the Flickr community.  How social media allows people all over the world to collaborate on a project like this on an epic scale is simply amazing.  The support for this group grows daily (as of writing this, 13,405 members are in the group and 82,504 unique portraits have been added) and I intend on participating until they reach their goal.  Check out the Flickr group and the blog for not only more information, but also for some amazing photography.  If you’re a Flickr member, there is no reason why you shouldn’t participate in this group.

Also check out Spotlight Seven, a Flickr group created out of The 6 Million People Project, that every week features the work of a talented photographer who has contributed to the group.

I just got a hold of my new business cards for my Hampton Roads wedding photography business, John Cachero Photography, and I’m very excited.  I planned on these just being my temporary business cards, but I have to admit that I like the simplicity and elegance.

Someone asked me why I didn’t use an image and make it a dual sided card.  I still might do that in the future, but for now, I’m going use what I have here and consider making one when a photo I shoot warrants that kind of attention.

In other news, this is the first time in an entire month that I’ve posted something to Flickr.  I’ve just been too busy working on getting John Cachero Photography launched.

I’ve launched my official photography websites. If you are in need of Hampton Roads wedding photography please visit my sites. I shoot weddings, portraits, and special events for Hampton Roads, Virginia and beyond.
