Had an unusual request today that I am going to take up. I was interested in 2 small 43mm filters on eBay from a seller named Paul in England (he lives near Manchester). Paul asked if instead of paying for the two filters if I would instead make him up a 8x10 print of the photograph below.
I decided to go ahead and do it. The filters with shipping are valued at only around $36 CAD. I would have to print up the photo and then ship it to him, he would ship me the filters. I will not make any money on this deal, heck might lose some but it just seems right.
Paul really likes the photo, I want to spread the word of the "Familes of the Dump" so it makes sense to do this. I gave Paul a bit of history on the girl in the picture, plus a video I made back in the dump in 2013. It also seems right to be getting the 2 filters for the photo, which I will take with me in April back to the dump to use. This picture is helping to spawn more important photographs.
