Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals
Back in late 2023 I posted about joining this wonderful charitable org as a contributing photographer. With this post I wanted to give you an update on my experience with the Foundation and Elaine Poggi, founder and President, since then. First, Elaine has been great to work with! Through her efforts the photo I contributed in 2023 has now been placed in 14 healthcare facilities in 4 countries on 3 continents. Early this year I completed a project with Elaine that placed 15 of my photos with a hospital in my hometown. My purpose here is not to brag about my placements, but let you know about Elaine’s Foundation as an incredible and rewarding outlet for your photography. I am honored and thankful to be a contributing photographer. My reward is helping the Foundation achieve its mission to provide color, comfort, and hope to patients and caregivers. Check out the org at www.healingphotoart.org, and check out my blog post about this at www.michaelsmithphotoart.blogspot.com. Here’s a screenshot of the org’s site, a grid of the photos in my recent project, and some shots of the placements.
