Photo exhibit benefits Haiti

 

The “Up Country” photo exhibit, by photographic artist David Robbins (SL aka Evad Slade), is now on display through Feb. 20 at Nantucket Square, Second Life New England, SLNE, Nantucket (35, 125, 21). Robbins’ beautiful and charming photographs of rural New England are on sale at the exhibit. All sales will be matched and donated to the Haiti Relief via Save the Children Charity. Donation kiosks are available as well for attendees at the exhibit to donate if they desire.

 

Robbins, who describes himself as more of a “mountain/country person than a ‘seacoast’ person”, prefers to photograph landscapes, barns and, “their stories within their details.”

The owner of "Studio 240" A photography and Graphic Design gallery in SLNE, Mystic (192,45, 23), he has had over 30 years of professional experience in magazine and book publishing and the evolving new opportunities offered through publishing in new media.

Virtual Haiti Relief is a collaboration of concerned individuals, some of whom are involved with other organizations, non profits, and groups in SL that have come together to form a group to help host events, raise funds & awareness for Haitian relief. You can view the beginnings of how Virtual Haiti Relief formed on Jeska Linden's blog post on Haiti at: https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/community/blog/2010/01/13/our-thoughts-are-with-haiti.
