There are lots of photographers out there who I admire. Some for their amazing talent. Some because they're really great people. Some of them I know in person, and others I know through blogs, twitter, etc.
Ryan Marshall is one of those I've "met" through the social media world. He writes an amazing blog that makes me cry on an almost weekly occasion. Not only is he a talented photographer, but he's also a gifted writer. And a great guy on top of that. Almost makes you want to hate him, but you just can't. :)
Ryan is doing this really great thing and I want to do what I can to help him make this thing a success - that's why I'm posting here today. He has pioneered a charity album to raise money for Smith Magenis Sydrome (SMS), a rare genetic disorder that his step-son, LB, has. (Please click over to his blog to read about LB and the whole gang. But plan to stay a while...and have tissues ready if you're anything like me. And as a side note, I don't think Ryan writes with the intention of bringing tears. It's just a side effect of lots of love, beautiful images and sweet words coming together.) 100 percent of the money raised from the album will go directly to a grant fund with PRISMS.
So please, check out the album today and buy it - I did (and I don't even have kids!). One of my favorite bands, Rabbit!, did a couple of songs on the album - Ladybug is my fave! (Although, Potty Time by Cracker Jackson did make me laugh...a lot!)
And if you have a blog, Facebook, twitter or some other means of getting the word out about Do Fun Stuff, please help Ryan out by sharing the link, posting the widget or tweeting with the hashtag #dofunstuff.
