I Leave My Mark

On the 21st May I was asked to do a favour  to photographer Jon Silver who is the official photographer of the charity but wasn't able to make it to photograph an afternoons of work. Jon is the photographer who helped my passion for photography grow and the person who taught me how to use my first camera so when he asked me I was quite honoured that he asked a 17 year old amateur to do the job for him :)

The aim of this charity is to work with other charities and raise money to put towards the help of children who have suffered childhood traumas, which include accidents, abuse, loss of parents or a brother or sister, drugs or alcohol in the home or family, serious illnesses and bullying. All you have to do is give £1 and then if you want leave your fingerprint. Their aim is t create the largest collection of fingerprints and have decided to create a child's face using them.

It a fun afternoon seeing how they were all so committed to the work that they were doing and that children's TV presenter Dave Benson Phillips came down to help and leave his mark.

Here are some of my pictures from the afternoon :)

They even had somewhere for doggies to leave their mark :)

As you can see Dave made the afternoon really enjoyable and brought a smile to everyone's face
