The Libby Ross Foundation

A couple years ago I did a shoot for The Libby Ross Foundation, an organization started by Libby's gorgeous daughter, Lori, to fundraise monies for research and education of breast cancer. I would've thought they'd replace our group photo on their website by now, but we're all still up there. While heart disease is still the number one killer amongst women, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths (just behind lunng cancer) and the cancer that worries women most. Women's cancers include not only breast cancer (which can affect men as well), but ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers. Other health concerns for women include osteoporosis, depression, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis which affects twice as many women as men.


The Libby Ross Foundation holds fundraising events throughout the year including their annual Gala--their largest fundraising event each year. Take part and show your support for this organization--okay, and go check out our group photo on the website!

Movies: March of the Penguins directed by Luc Jacquet - how the crew managed to survive shooting during the Antarctic winter, I will never know but I hold them in great esteem; go see it for the baby penguins

    How did they survive? It's not that tough. Maybe a little cold, but I bet they had more than just tents. Some sort of portable milvan (cargo container) type housing. I'm not saying it was marvelous, but probaly nothing miraculous.

    Geez, we former residents of Antarctica like to suck the magic out of everything.
