Water Shots

Today was a big photo shoot for Unda Water.

Unda Water is a non-profit bottled water organization, affiliated with our church, that I am basically in charge of. We sell bottled water in fair trade coffee shops here in Philadelphia and send the proceeds to provide clean water for people who don't have it. Our current batch of water, for instance, will fund well-digging efforts in North Africa.

One bottle of Unda Water provides a month of clean drinking water for someone in a developing country. For reals, everybody. It's a great deal.

So that's a good gig. But then earlier in the week, my friend, Dave (the photographer from the pirate party), volunteered to do a photo shoot for us if I would art direct.

I am sick and feeble this weekend. I would very much like to have slept through the sun today, and then shuffled around the house in my socks and pajamas playing with my Nintendo DS. But when a professional photographer enthusiastically offers to do a pro bono shoot for your charity's product, you don't get a sick day. You put your misery in a special place and go be an art director.

I would post a couple shots here, but it's late and every photo is like 3 megs because they're such ridiculous quality. I believe you can zoom into the atomic level with these shots.

If you bothered to follow the link in the first sentence, you will probably see an ugly placeholder site. Now that we have an amazing set of photos, I have all-new impetus to finish editing down my too-wordy copy and get the REAL site going.

Woo + Hoo = Me underneath it all.
