I’ve been watching what’s going on in Haiti after the earthquakes for the last few days and while I don’t have much of money myself (I could only afford a $50 donation), I have decided to participate in a little different way – which is also being promoted through Flickr, and I hope this will encourage a few more donations to help those in need.
What am I doing? I’ve entered several of my photographs up for bid in the Flickr Charity Print Auctions group at:
www.flickr.com/groups/charityprintauctions/
for the Haiti Earthquake Appeal. A few Examples:
1) 
2) 
3)
4)
5) 
6) 
-
Here’s how it works.
To bid, you need to comment below the image on Flickr (or email me) with the amount that you would like to bid. When the auction closes, the person that has bid the most, wins the print.
The prints that are for auction may vary in size (as set by the photographer), but I’m offering most at 20 x 30 CM (7.9 x 11.8 inches) with a thin white border around it so it’s suitable for Framing. They will be printed by Snapfish on high gloss finished paper and promptly delivered to you.
This Auction will finish on Sunday, 24th January 2010 at midnight CET (Central European Time).
The winning bidder has to pay their winning amount to Doctors Without Borders (Medecins sans frontieres):
When you do this, you MUST make a screen grab of the donation confirmation page to send to the photographer. This is the only way the photographer knows that you have paid and can arrange for the print to be sent to you.
The photographer accepts that they will pay the costs of production of the print and the postage to the winning bidder.
Not interested in the Prints you see above? Please check out my “best of” sets; and/or My flickr photostream – and see if there’s something you’d like in return for your donation!

If you are more interested in something else (cards, postcards, or heck, even some German chocolate) for your donation, I may be willing to make arrangements!
Together, we CAN make a DIFFERENCE!
