A group of Milwaukee-area photographers are working together to give something back to the community this year…

Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers, coming together in every major city, to use their photography skills to give back to the community. On December 12th, photographers around the world will be grabbing their cameras, finding people in need, and taking their picture.When the prints are ready, the photographs get delivered. Yep. It really is that easy.

Bocce is a bowling-type sport typically played outdoors, but we’re bringing it indoors at the InterContentntal Milwaukee. (Wikipedia has a good explanation of bocce if you want more details.)

We play in the lobby, and it’s just a few yards from CLEAR if you need any drinks or dinner to complement your game.

Play ball in the house with indoor bocce ball at InterContinental Milwaukee on Tuesday nights through December 1, 2009 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Being a group of designers and creatives, we’re also art lovers, and we like good ideas and inspiring projects… so seeing Karen Schmidt paint these 3″ x 3″ portraits of people she connects with via the Internet is a neat thing.

Here’s her pitch “I’m working on a project that requires me to paint many 3″ x 3″ portraits, so I’m soliciting headshots from everyone.”

We like it… you can find out more at sendmeyourhead.com

We recently did some location shooting for Generac Power Systems which took us out to Texas and Kansas for a few days. The weather was great in both locations, and we got some great footage for a few projects we’re working on.

We primarily shot HD video this time, but we did find a few minutes to snap a few stills in Wellington, Kansas while we were there… Love the pumpkin! :)

Eyes are simply amazing. About 3 years ago I shot a macro of an eye for a client of ours and it’s stuck with me. Every time I looked at it I wanted to see more. My last fine art series were based on pears. Simple single portraits of all different types of pears. Well staying in the “portrait” theme I’ve embarked in my new series… EYES.

The series will be complete when I have 50 eyes. If you would like to be part of this series please let me know. I have about 15 shot to date. Here are a couple.

To be one of the “50″ eyes please email me… SUBJECT: “EYES” coryz@z2marketing.com
