Half way!
I just wanted to write a quick update and thank everyone who has pledged support for my project so far. Today we hit the half way mark for our fundraising goal! A truly outstanding accomplishment and we still have 15 days to reach our goal. I can't believe all of the interest the project has generated. I've traded emails with people across the US, Canada and as far away as Germany! Thank you so much. I'm really looking forward to this adventure and making photographs to share with all of you.
I have more exciting news to share! I received an email today from a reporter who writes for The Labradorian, which serves the towns of Happy Valley-Goose Bay and the surrounding communities in coastal Labrador. We have a phone interview scheduled for this Thursday morning. I'm really looking forward to sharing information on the project and getting reactions from the local community. I will be sharing whatever resulting article is published, possibly as soon as next Monday. Continue to check my blog for updates: http://lureoflabrador.blogspot.com/
