Marcus Bell is raising money for the Queensland floods.

Recently at imagingUSA, Allison and I had the privilege to finally meet in person the great Marcus Bell. Marcus is an amazing wedding photographer based in Queensland Australia, I have admired his photography for years. He is a genuinely nice guy and he told me about a project he is starting to raise money for the Queensland Relief Fund. Queensland was recently devastated by massive flooding. Many people not only lost their homes, but are now being told that Insurance won't cover the cost. I wanted you guys to know about this and maybe you can help in some way.

For more information in relation to the floods and how you can help please visit Marcus's site  http://www.studioimpressionsphotography.com/blog where you will find links to both the Fine Art Gallery and the Resources site.

You might also like to donate directly to the Queensland Premier's Flood Disaster Relief Fund here.

Info from Marcus's site...

"You may have seen the news footage of the significant flooding that occurred throughout Queensland Australia during late December 2010 and January 2011.  Many lost their lives, many more lost their homes. Three quarters of the state was declared a disaster zone.  This is an area roughly the size of Texas.   

A resident of Brisbane Queensland, award-winning photographer Marcus Bell is raising money to help flood victims, by placing ten of his own classic images up for sale.  All proceeds from each sale will be going to the Queensland Governments Flood disaster relief fund.

Each signed "Artist Proof" print is an original award winning photographic work.  Each unframed 24 inch print for sale for $950 (plus postage) and is printed to the highest quality 300GSM Archival cotton paper.  Many of these prints represents a saving of between 50 to 75% off the normal edition print price.

In addition 20% of ALL of Marcus Bell Photographer Resources Products sold during January and February will also be donated to the fund.  This also includes the 5 new Instant Effect Presets products recently released after a year in development.

Your help is greatly appreciated and together we can make a difference.
