I can't believe what is happening these days. Just talking with very limited amounts of people about my project and just like that, we are getting four new people in the book.
On Friday, Simon Tooley, who is working at the Farha Foundation send us a great positive message, reading ''My partner and I would like to buy a page in the book. Sunday is our one year anniversary - we got married last year. For our wedding last year instead of gifts we asked that people make donations to the Farha Foundation. We thought by buying a page in your book for our one year anniversary which is traditionally celebrated by giving paper, we would be able to celebrate our love for each other by giving to others.'' All of us at the studio here find this to be just truly amazing!
On Sunday, I went to see my girlfriends parents and spoke to them about the project for the first time. I just wanted to share all the positive feedback I got so far, even if the project is still a ''secret''. I was very surprised to see their enthusiasm and again just like that, they reserved a page. They completely loved the idea,.. but I believe they want to encourage me as well ;-) Their donation will go to the CHUM (Centre hospitalier de l'universite de Montreal) if they accept to be part of the project.
Last but definitely not least, we have Bernard Lachance. Bernard Lachance is someone remarkable in many aspects. I was very impressed and touch by his determination to achieve his dreams, as he managed to fill the Chicago Theatre by selling the tickets out on the street. That is just incredible. I myself am a dreamer and always try new way of doing things. I contacted Bernard couple of months ago to offer him to have great images for his website and promotion and as time was flying by, I decided to start my book project. When we spoke again this Monday, I explained my idea to Bernard, and although he was skeptic at first, he turned out to be super happy to get to be a part of this beautiful project.
So we have sold donations for five shoots already, without the project to be even public. Let's hope that it keeps going like that to make a worldwide change with this project.

First check ever: We mailed it!

I am so proud and happy to annouce that we were able to mail our fist check today to the Martin Matte Foundation. By buying page 266, Jun Fei Wu spent 1500€, 75% of which will be donated. Therefore, we are happy to mail a total amount of 1125,00€ (=1665 US$ / 1756,00 Can$). That will help the Martin Matte foundation to achieve their goal of raising 3.7 million before 2014. More information about their current main camping here.

By spending 1500 Euros for a good cause, Jun Fei Wu saved herself the very first spot in the 360° book. Thus, the first page shot in the book was page number 266! All of the money raised by selling that page is donated to the Martin Matte Foundation.
Soon after receiving the notification that she was the first one to spend money on being part of this project, the team here at the 360° book project thought about what to shoot for her. Due to her answers regarding the contributor questions, it became evident that we had to "fly high". We decided to give her daughter Jenny Jia-Xin Yu the most important role that day, and she certainly had a lot of fun. Dressed by Fang Fang as a superhero, she flew just like one. See for yourself in the behind the scenes video we shot:
Honestly, we are pretty stoked about the outcome and we hope that it can show how much fun we really had. The family was in all regards happy with what happened and everyone here at the studio is convinced that this was an awesome first shoot to start of this incredible project. So having fun for a good cause, can it get any better?
Do you want to be part of this, too? With a little donation to one of the participating Foundations, you could as well be in the project. For more information on this, please click on the ¨HOW¨ button from the menu above. To see the overall process and progress in the book please go to the page overview.
Anyway, we do not want to keep you guys waiting any longer; here is the final picture of Jenny Jia-Xin Yu that is going to be seen on page 266 of the 360˚ book:
