| Rock Show |
OK, here are two more of the images that are in the iPhone Gallery Show opening today at
Foto Care in New York City, 43 West 22nd Street, NYC. The show was put together to highlight the possibilities that exist when using this 21st century technology, the iPhone and iPad. The prints in this show were made on traditional inkjet papers, metallic paper and stretched canvas.

Additionally, there are two canvas prints from my rock and roll days that are signed by the artist, John Mellencamp and Roger Daltry. Any money made from the sale of these two prints will be donated to 1Matters.org a group that moves the un-housed into domestic autonomy. A bit about 1Matters below.
Started
in Toledo, Oh, in 1990 as the Homeless Awareness Project (HAP) by formerly
homeless-turned-entrepreneur-turned-philanthropist Ken Leslie, the volunteer
organization has become a global advocacy group creating real time
collaborative solutions to move unhoused (homeless) individuals and families
off the streets and into domestic autonomy.
In
2008 HAP became 1Matters after a visit by singer John Mellencamp to their
annual Project Connect/Tent City event. John was moved by the collaboration and
invited all of the guests to his concert that evening where he talked with them
from the stage. One guest returned to Project Connect and said, "Ken, John
talked to us from the stage; I guess I really do matter."
1Matters
was born.
While
working on the road with Mr. Mellencamp, Harry Sandler met Ken and fell in love
with the mission of 1Matters and joined the Board of Directors. Harry is working to grow 1Matters into a
national organization and engage others in the music industry.
In
addition to the global advocacy of “World Homeless Action Day”, 1Matters has just funded a new program,
“Veterans Matter” which partners with the VA and HUD to move veterans into
housing.
