This Thursday is Broncofest, and PIC will be running a photo booth! There will be U.S.A. themed paraphernalia and it is donation based, so give as much or as little as you would like benefiting the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless. See you there Bronco Nation!

We have selected our new theme for the year! Chicago is a beautiful city filled with exciting locales and mesmerizing architecture. Unfortunately, Chicago has had its share of tragedy, and not all of its inhabitants can enjoy what it has to offer. All funds we raise from this years projects will go towards the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless and their efforts to provide housing for those who live in the dark shadow of this wonderful city.


Please visit http://www.chicagohomeless.org/ for more on their work for Chicago's homeless population.

We hope everyone has had an amazing summer, and is ready to go back to school (and to Photography Inspiring Change meetings) in a week! We are proud to announce that our gallery raised $1100 that was donated to World Wildlife Fund. The proceeds helped protect tiger and sea turtle populations, stopping wildlife crime, and empowering indigenous communities in Panama. Thank you so much for all your support! Check out our photos from the gallery and we look forward to seeing you this year

According to the World Wildlife fund, as few as 3200 tigers exist in the wild today, after their population has decreased 97% in the last century. 100% of the proceeds from our Photo Gallery Fundraiser on June 7th will go towards the World Wildlife Fund to protect and grow the population of endangered species like the tiger.
