Photoserve is going to Brazil, Fiji and Mexico this year and we want YOU to come with us! We will be partnering with Thirst Relief, Give Clean Water and Casas Por Cristo to provide families with clean drinking water and a safe and dry place to call home. Photoserve exists to provide a medium for photographers to come together and serve partnering organizations through their photographic skills and volunteer labor. Photographers share their photographs from the project with the organization they are serving for purposes of raising awareness and support. We will be announcing details for each trip soon and there are several ways you can get in the know...
1. Visit us at WPPI on Tuesday, 3pm, at Mike Colon's platform class or on Wednesday, 8am, at Jeremy Cowart's platform class. We will be set up in the back of the room with photoserve t-shirts on and would love to chat if you want to know more.
2. Visit our website and fill out the contact form. Once we have the details lined up we will send you an email with everything you need to know.
And, while we're at it, we want to give away to one lucky person:
- two VIP tickets to Airplanes & Blazers, courtesy of averyhouse.
- a super fancy photoserve Moleskin notebook (for all those WPPI notes and contacts!)
- a photoserve t-shirt
All you have to do is take a guess at the big, orange questions in the picture above. Post your answers in the comment box or tweet your answer to @photo_SERVE , @averyhouse , & @AirplaneBlazer, and hashtag #AirplaneBlazer in the message.
A winner will be picked on Friday, February 10!
See you in Vegas!!

In the spirit of Las Vegas heist movies (think the original Ocean's 11) we want to know who your heist crew would be if the crew was made up of you and four other photographers. To enter to win, do one of the following:
ONE: Leave a comment below and tell us which 4 photographers (you and three others) would be in your "heist crew" and why you picked them.
OR
TWO: Tweet out the following: "@someone @someone @someone @someone are #myheistcrew. We want FREE stuff from @intothedarkroom - airplanesandblazers.com"
(If you do not change the @someone to a real twitter name, you are automatically disqualified. Just saying.)
The four photographers in my heist crew would be me (duh!) Sachin Khona, Audrey Belliard Smit and Stephanie Miller. We're from all across the globe and met at CreativeLIVE in Seattle and we've been tight ever since. If our crew could have a fifth, I would also include Nate Perkes, since he is also part of the "CreativeLive 5"... :-)
(02.07.12)My heist would consist of ME, my partner in crime Pamela Davis, Amanda Reed and Elise Ellis. Pam and I are nearby town competitors and we are both friends with Amanda and Elise who are both from different parts of the country but we hang at the PPO Convention in the Ozarks sharing ideas and mentoring each other! We could FOR SURE pull something like this off ;) As we are smart, sexy and great at getting what we want! Nothing like a bunch of sassy country girls putting their minds to something and pulling it off!

sometimes it's fun to go big and wild out in the glitzy glam of vegas but when we are in town we always pick one night to go downtown and have a ball kinda slumming it... the one thing we never leave out though is getting dolled up for the occasion! we get a grip of people together in 60's suits, tuxes, cocktail dresses, bowties, heels, fedoras, the whole damn thing and it goes off every time. the older vegas people LOVE seeing it and we always end up in some crazy high roller room with bottles of champagne, lot of laughs, and some excellent memories.
we'll be profiling some of our favorite downtown spots and we'll definitely tell you all about the venue, the transportation plan, and the many tricks we have up our sleeves for the entertainment in the coming weeks. in the meantime, the ticket button has been updated so go ahead and purchase a ticket HERE
can't wait for this one guys! love your pals at the flashdance
Stupid excited. Ill just keep watching the video from last year till you guys post again.
