As I started taking interest in photography, I came in contact with professionals who I can learn a bit from. While doing this, I was recently introduced to Stories of Autism.<\/p>\n
<\/i><\/p>\n
Stories of Autism<\/a> <\/i>is a non-profit organization profit organization dedicated to promoting the awareness, acceptance, and inclusion of those with autism spectrum disorders. Stories of Autism achieves this through the exhibition of portraits created by professional level photographers from around the US and Canada. Portrait is accompanied by a short writing from someone close to the subject (usually a parent) describing how autism has affected their lives. It has been featured in many photography trade magazines, websites, newspaper and television coverage, as well as some articles in a few medical journals.<\/p>\n After learning about them a bit more, I decided to join the annual event that coincides with National Autism Awareness Month.<\/p>\n I plan to be one of many photographers who will capture amazing moments of these special people and raise awareness to autism.<\/p>\n This is where I need your help. Here\u2019s what you can do to help:<\/p>\n You might have the most important question, what\u2019s in it for participants?<\/p>\n Pardon this out of ordinary post, I know this isn\u2019t what you may have expected on a technical blog. I am sure you understand and I certainly hope I will get your generous support for this worthy cause.<\/p>\n Some important disclaimers:<\/p>\n\n
