Photofocus’ response to a useful guide on what to emphasize, and how to balance our work with marketing in regard to our online following - where to put what? how much time to put into a web presence? Who to target and what will yield tangible results, ie. sales and livelihood, when a huge user-base is a given?

Get inspired at PWB online.
We all feel it - the job market is not as it once was and entrepreneurialism is tough. Perseverance and every idea comes from within and there’s not much to fall back on but your own confidence and hard work. But in its success, there’s no greater reward.
The attached picture and link is just one story of the impact the Olive Branch for Children has in the villages it works in in rural Tanzania. To inspire and support entrepreneurialism in people like you or I means contributing to sustainable growth from within. Empowerment for change.
Photographers Without Borders will be traveling, this July, to the villages where the Olive Branch is based, to conduct a photojournalism project featuring those who have been touched by the organization.
They’ll share will us their success and their stories, and we’ll share them with you.
Please follow our website for more details on this PWB initiative, and upcoming opportunities for photographers interested in photojournalism.
Donations are welcome and can be made through our website or simply by clicking the picture above:

“Tall as the Empire” by Mike Good!
I met someone out last night that had been to ‘Hidden City’ - he said this was his favorite piece of the show! So in honour of that, and the mesmerizing talents of one Mike Good, I’ve decided to name this one today’s feature.
This image makes me feel as though I’m being literally inhaled by the streets of NYC - suctioned forward by an invisible force with inhumane strength, through the bustling streets and high rises and past the Empire State, into the curious beyond. Fast enough to excite, leaving just enough time to see what surrounds me. My body lifts and contorts easily in the air beyond any will of my own, and I ponder “What awaits?” while observing the sites…
Photography inspires - here it’s wonder, a sense of speed, and freedom.
We’re so happy to have Mike as one of our PWB Artists.
“Starting photography at a difficult personal time in his life, Mike has continued over the years to evolve his skills by dedicating every spare moment to his passion of photography. Mike’s self taught approach to photography is shared with various charities and individuals by supporting programs such as Photographer’s Without Borders, Help Portrait, Portraits in the Park for Infertility Awareness and various other charity and not-for-profit organizations.”
