January 1st, 2014 (Day 1) This is my 4th go around of 365. Some of you know me. Some of you don’t. I completed my first 365 back in 2007, 109 days of a 365 in 2008, and don’t remember what happened in 2009.

Jennifer Strauss's Personal Page for 2013 Walk Now for Autism Speaks: Los Angeles

When I am not out and about with my camera, my full time gig for the last 13+ years has been working with children diagnosed with autism. I've supported so many of you wonderful artists by photographing your beautiful work. Hopefully you can do the same by helping support my fundraising efforts. Autism prevalence in the US is 1 in 88 children (1 in 54 boys & 1 in 252 girls). By comparison, this is more children than are affected by diabetes, AIDS, cancer, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy or Down syndrome – combined. http://www.walknowforautismspeaks.org/losangeles/jenniferstrauss
