Charity Shoot, your thoughts?

The National MS Society is looking for volunteer photographers for their upcoming Challenge Walk in the San Diego area. They don't compensate the photographers, but do allow them to sell the photos to participants who wish to buy them.

I'm just wondering if any of you have done this type of shoot before, and what your experiences were like.

Never have, but just looked at the page and it's for a good cause. I would do it. I'm going to search in my area. Local newspapers might be interested in good shots if you can get them.

Yeah, I have a family member with MS, so I'm especially interested in the cause. I already sent my information and availability to their staff member who is coordinating the photography. Hopefully I'll get a response, but they may already have all the help they need.

I bet they will welcome your help. The more people that get involved moves us closed to the day when MS is no longer a threat. Thanks for helping.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I never have, but it's a nice idea. I do think us photographers should donate our time to some kind of cause.

I'm officially in for Saturday 9/24. They're also looking for volunteer photographers for the rest of that same weekend. If any of you would be interested and will be anywhere near the San Diego area that weekend, I can give you contact info.
