This may be a funny person, but although what he is doing makes people smile, Ron Henry, founder and owner of Black Rapid (camera straps and accessories) is supporting the Tutu Project (see comments). Shot at the Photo Expo Plus show at the Javits Center in New York City.

Black Rapid is partnering with the Tutu Project Foundation. Photographer Bob Carey's wife, Linda, is a breast cancer patient (she is doing well in her recovery) and her illness inspired Bob (who is STILL near tears when he talks about it) to start his foundation. He travels around the world and photographs himself wearing nothing but a pink tutu. Proceeds from sales of the books and calendars are used to fund the uninsured expenses of breast cancer patients. Black Rapid has a special "Pink Kick" camera strap for sale, and $10 from each sale is donated to the Tutu Foundation. It is a GREAT organization to support. The book is delightful! #1594309Jeff Robinson November 07, 2014

If one wants to be noticed, this certainly is the way to do it. No way one CAN'T look and enjoy. #11180831Heather Loewenhardt November 07, 2014
