Welcome to the Silent Auction!

[For mobile viewers: note that this post contains quick links to all photos] 

Thanks for stopping by! To participate in the silent auction, simply place your bid in the "comments" links just below each post and I will write you in on the official bid sheet at the exhibition. Please include your name and email address in the bid.

About the Exhibition
The first 10 photos are from my travels to visit Peace Gospel and She Has Hope program locations in Uganda, India, and Nepal. The second 10 photos are from my travels with Pastor Chris Seay and groups from our church on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Photographs presented in this exhibition are up for silent auction throughout Advent to benefit the life-saving work of Living Water International and She Has Hope. All proceeds will be split between these two organizations. Last year we raised over $14,000 from just 10 images!
 
About the Prints
The pieces seen at this exhibition are printed on archival quality diamond jet photolustre paper with a satin matte finish. The prints are mounted onto hand-sanded, hand-stained bamboo. Bamboo is incredibly durable and 4x more dimensionally stable than oak.  A kiln-dried Doug Fir mechanism is anchored to the back of the bamboo to create a “floating off the wall” look.
