Nothing feels better then when you go out of your way to help your fellow man….Nothing make me happier the hearing from my readers…..This got me thinking, why not mash up the two and get a double whammy!

In 2008 Chris+Lynn, an amazing Vancouver duo, started the Cans for Comments campaign raising 221 cans. On top of that tons of photographers from around the world joined in helping out their local food banks. This year I have decided to join in on the fun.

Here’s how it works. For every comment you leave on any of my blog posts from today to December 15, I will donate one canned product to the London Food Bank.

Now trust me, the food bank needs all the help it can get! Doing a little research I found out that this year with all the financial problems and job losses, the food bank is getting hit extra hard. More and more people are turning to the food bank to get meals on the table. In March roughly 800,000 people visited their local food banks (Yep….5 ZERO people!), that is an increase of 120,000 compared to 2008.

As this thing gathers steam, I will be adding a list of fellow photographers from around the world who are showing the love and taking part in Cans for Comments. So why not be a pal and head on over, check out their awesome work and leave some love of your own. This may not heal the world, but putting one meal in front of even one kid this year makes it all worth it to me.

List of kick ass, love showing photographers:
Kristel Wyman
Think Photographics
Andrea Murphy Photography
Tracey L Heppner
Mike Murrow
Rowell Photography
Erica May Short
White Album Weddings

Amy Karp
Shandro Photo

If you are a photographer doing Cans for Comments as well, just make sure to pipe up in the comments of this post and I will add you to the list.

Now to get the comments rolling, here is my favorite shot from David and Ashley’s wedding that for some reason never made it to the blog…..I promise, I wasn’t holding out on you!
