Bushfire Photo Help
 
Like many thousands of Australians, a number of MAP Group members want to help those people unfortunate enough to have been affected by these devastating bushfires. A recurring theme in the media when interviewing bushfire victims is that they often mention either losing or saving their family photographs.
 
We would like to help where we can.
 
If you have lost your family photos because of the bushfires but are able to source prints from family or friends we would be glad to copy them digitally and provide images on CD.  Due to some very generous donations we hope we will also be able to provide a number of archival quality prints.
 
If any damaged photos are able to be salvaged from burnt out homes we will endeavour to restore them.
 
Looking to the future, if people are interested, we would like to photograph families who have lost their homes and provide them with prints to re-start their family photo collections.  We plan to do this at no cost to those bushfire victims who would like our help.
 
Please be aware that, depending on demand, we may need to limit the number of  images on disk and/or prints that we can supply. Should you send prints we will endeavour to protect and then return them, but unfortunately accidents happen so we cannot guarantee their return and you send them to us at your own risk.  
 
Naturally, any photographs sent to us will not be forwarded to any third parties and the privacy of individuals will be protected as best we can.
 
Please send your securely packed prints and completed application form/s for either prints or photography, or both, to: Photo Help, PO Box 5187, Studfield 3152.

If you are in a position to help us help the bushfire victims in this small way, we would welcome your assistance. We are particularly interested in help with packaging supplies for sending CDs and prints as well as postage costs.
