Shooting Outside Gallery

                    The Canon EOS 5DII I've been shooting with Canon gear most of my professional career. Obviously for the majority of time I've shot with film bodies, but more recently digital has taken over nearly all of my image captures. Starting with lower end Canon's as well as Fuji and Olympus, my learning curve was fairly quick but my goals were not achieved.

We have each committed to donate a portion of our art sales (ranging from 25% to 100%) to various cancer charities. During our first year, our members have donated nearly 2000 pieces of wall art, where a % of sales is designated to a cancer charity. Here you will find a working list of the cancer charities currently supported by individual members within the group. This site is a consolidation of the various ART for Cancer Groups we have formed throughout online art communities. Our Flagship group was started in February 2009 at Imag

Support IK Artists The Icon you see above represents the way you can support artists at Imagekind.
