Haiti Relief

My good friend Howie Shia from PPFhouse along with some good friends and fine folks has put together the PPF Neighborhood: a downloadable benefit compilation of music, visual art and photographs.

The project is a thirdparty fundraiser for Médecins Sans Frontières (aka Doctors without Borders) with all proceeds going to assist MSF’s work with the victims of the earthquake.There's 14 tracks of original music from some fine artists you should be familiar with,  PDF of hi-res artwork and photographs from some fantastic talent. 

The project is available for purchase till Febuary 11, 2010. On top of donations and proceeds from your purchase, the Canadian Government will be matching the contribution till, Feb 11.

Please click away to PPF Bandcamp for more details!

salvaged

my harddrive crashed a while back...along with it went a few years of work and photos. i thankfully had the work bit saved here and there..but the photos that mostly stayed on the home comp are all but gone. but it felt good in a way..a kickstart for new things. here's a few pics that were salvaged having an online backup.
