Photographers Organize Fundraising Mag for Haiti Quake Aid

Photographers Organize Fundraising Mag for Haiti Quake Aid

A group of photographers have created a fundraising magazine through Magcloud to help generate aid for Haiti earthquake victims. Organized by San Francisco photojournalist Lane Hartwell, the magazine, titled One Respe, is a collection of photos and photo essays filled with images of pre-earthquake Haiti.

Photographers Peter Pereira, Chet Gordon, and Mary Ellen Mark all contributed and donated work. The mag sells for $16; $12 of each sale goes to the Red Cross. This is a strong mag in terms of photography and design, and a creative use of a relatively new technology to print and publish it.

You can order One Respe here.
