win. win.

The Thirst Relief Mentor Benefit is always a highlight of the year for me. It's amazing to get to see the photography world and the global need for clean water come together. I love seeing the goodness and generosity of people. And I know that this year will be no different.

The Thirst Relief Mentor Benefit is an opportunity for you to bid on a 90 minute session with one of your favorite photographers. When you win you get to sit for at least 90 minutes and talk about your business, your shooting style, your portfolio, the needs of your studio, or whatever else you'd like to discuss. Many of these photographers are giving much more than their time, though! (Which is very exciting!) Some are giving away a space to their workshop, actions, products...all kinds of things! So you'll want to make sure to read each auction that you are interested in carefully.

All of the proceeds from the auction go to help women, children, and families to have clean drinking water. Right now, one in five children die from a drinking related illness or disease. Something this simple can easily be avoided and treated. So far, the Thirst Relief has saved over 100,000 people. Please help us again this year.  (You can also become a donor by giving just $5 a month. Five dollars saves a life.  Go here to learn more:  www.thirstrelief.org )

The auction will open on January 29th at 10pm EST When the auction goes live you can click here to register: http://thirstrelief.shootq.com
