Via www.fosteraddington.com:

This September I will be traveling to Iraq for one month to document the untold epidemic of cardiovascular disease amongst the Iraqi children, in hopes to shed light on this injustice and to stir hearts to action. During my time in this war-torn country I will be living with and photographing the afflicted children and the organization that is desperately trying to gain resources for life-saving heart surgeries: Buy Shoes. Save Lives.

The end result of this documentary will be the compilation of my photographs into a book that will be used to raise awareness and funds for these afflicted children. If you’d like to learn more about this non-profit and how they help the Iraqi children please visit www.buyshoessavelives.com. Undertaking such an endeavor has driven me to reevaluate my spiritual condition and to prepare myself emotionally and mentally for the task ahead. I have also been gravitating from a position of self-dependency to complete reliance on God, that He would provide what is necessary to see this documentary through to fruition. Right now as it stands I have to raise $1,000 for a visa, passport, vaccinations and proper international documentation; $2,500 for the required camera equipment and gear; and $500 for food and supplies while in Iraq. This brings the necessary amount of funds I need to raise to $4,000.

My original plan was to ask for donations, but after much prayer and council, I’ve decided to instead raise the money through my talents, the same talents I’ll be using to capture this documentary in Iraq. The reason for this is two-fold: not only will I be honing my skills behind the lens to properly photograph the Buy Shoes. Save Lives operation, but I’ll be actively involved in using these same skills to earn the funds for this expedition.

This is where you come in. I need my family, friends and loved ones to keep their ears to the ground about any photographic needs they know of. I am willing to do anything from headshots, weddings and special occasions, to print advertising, photo journalism and fashion photography. If you know of anyone who could use my abilities, please direct them to my portfolio at www.fosteraddington.com.

“The ultimate search engine is something as smart as people—or smarter,” Page said in a speech a few years back. “For us, working on search is a way to work on artificial intelligence.” In a 2004 interview with Newsweek, Brin said, “Certainly if you had all the world’s information directly attached to your brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you’d be better off.” Last year, Page told a convention of scientists that Google is “really trying to build artificial intelligence and to do it on a large scale.””

“The first grader who leaps to his feet when he figures out the math problem is diagnosed as ADHD and medicated to sit quietly with the class. Young learners have immense pressure to perform, to get good grades, but no one is listening to the nuance of their minds. They feel suppressed, they are suppressed, and by the time students get to college, they have become disconnected from the love of learning.”
