November Facebook Image & the fight against MS

Personal Uncategorized

This year has been more crazy and wonderful than I ever could have imagined. I started the year off running my very first marathon. I had spent countless hours in training, vowing to never put myself through such misery again. But then I crossed that finish line and it was the most euphoric feeling in the world. I got the bug. I decided to train and run in the Philly Marathon this November.

In June I participated in the messy MuckRuckus benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I badly rolled my ankle some time after mile 3 and had to leave the run. A trip to the doctor confirmed that I had fractured my ankle and had to stay away from running for three months, leaving me without enough time to train for the Philly marathon. I was heartbroken.

I’ve been running again (slowly) and will be running the Philadelphia half marathon on November 18th. I’m raising money for the National MS Society in the process and would appreciate any contribution you can make for the cause.

I won’t be running all 26.2 but I will be out there sweating through 13.1 miles and I will be working on raising as much as I can for the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. Your donation would absolutely mean the world to me:

For my clients, I have an added bonus for you:  Starting at $40, I will credit you half of any donation towards Lindsay Docherty Photography products and/or services.  Donate $40, get $20.  Donate $400, get $200.  Donate $4000, get $2000.  Any amount above $40 will get you a credit.  This can be spent towards prints, sessions, wedding photography coverage, canvas prints, cards, etc.  Donate and let me know how you wish to spend your credit.  Not valid for orders or contracts already in place but can be used for additional products from previous sessions/coverage.  New clients and friends/family wanting to donate and get prints from your coverage can also take advantage of this.  Contact me for more information.

Zed Cards
The other week I photographed Andrea, a young aspiring actress about to head out to Los Angeles. We had a fabulous session at Chrissy Field and the weather was perfect. She's just beautiful and I made some zed card mock-ups to help hers stand apart from the rest. FYI, zed cards are the same as comp, or composite, cards. They are used for modeling and acting industry as a resume with pictures and physical stats.

JPG magazine voting time
I have a few weddings to share but I'm in the middle or reorganizing my files so it'll be a few days. In the meantime, I'll share some pictures that I've submitted to JPG magazine for their 16th issue.Take a look around the site for some really great images and feel free to vote for mine in the process. ;)Here are the images that I entered this time:Human Impact - San Francisco is the second most densely populated major city in the country. Their efforts to maintain green areas in the city are admirable and more impressive than many other urban hubs, but the expanse or building on top of building is stifling. This image feels very 70s to me ...
