Page 8 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • September 16, 2009 Wholesale Photo and Digital Imaging Center and Keith Hopkins Photography, both in Midland Park, are participating in the Portraits of Love Project, a volunteer effort aimed at sending family portraits to soldiers around the globe this holiday season. Once the family portraits are shot, they will be uploaded to a website, www. pmdaportraitsof love.com, and a print will be sent, free of charge, directly to the soldier in Iraq, Afghanistan, or wherever they are deployed around the world. The goal of the overall project is to send 10,000 free family portraits during the month of September. “This project is the photo industry’s way of giving back to our soldiers, and thanking them for the sacrifices they have made for our country,” said Jerry Grossman, the president of the PhotoImaging Manufacturers and Distributors Association (PMDA), who has spearheaded the effort. “Our industry is uniquely qualified to bring an important piece of home to our soldiers, and we’re pleased to be able to organize this effort.” Designed to help bring a piece of home to soldiers around the world, the project enlists the talents of volunteer photographers across the country who are opening their studios for this worthy cause. Interested families may contact the photographers directly to set up an appointment.
