DREAM: for Japan

[AUCTION HAD ENDED. Thank you very much sugarsweets13 and rogvon!

 

As you know, the earthquake & tsunami in northeastern Japan have been catastrophic. There's not much that I can do at the moment, but here is my contribution to this group:

I'm auctioning a 20" x 16" print of this image. I will use the digital printing services at Meridianpro.com, using their Kodak Endura Metallic paper. If you know an online digital printing firm that you would prefer for one reason or another, please let me know and we can talk, especially if you are from outside the US, as it might help in minimizing the shipping cost. If you are the winning bidder, then you should follow the payment instructions given by Andy in the discussion thread here:

 

How This Works

 

Then post a screengrab of your Red Cross donation receipt into the comments on this picture, or email it to me.

 

WANT TO BID - BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A FLICKR ACCOUNT?

Please just email me with a bid and I will place the bid in the comments on your behalf: rawheadz@gmail.com

 

I will then print and post the image to you, all printing and postage costs will be covered by me so all the money donated will go straight to the red cross.

 

CURRENT BID $250US. Please post your highest bid in the comments below. The auction will end on Monday, March 21st, midnight EDT (4AM, Mar 22nd, GMT).

 

I chose this image because I think it's one of the best I've taken, and I think it conveys a sense of hope amidst uncertainty. However, if you see anything else in my photo stream that you like better, the winning bidder may choose whichever one s/he likes. Here are some of my most popular shots on Flickriver.

 

Unlike my usual uploads (capped at 1024px^2), I'm uploading this at 1600px so that you may have a good idea of the exact image you will be getting. Please hit "L" to see in the LIghtBox and/or see it in its original size.
