I was recently contacted by the amazing people at Ricoh, who make Pentax Cameras, to do a campaign with them that inspires people to imagine change in a different way! This is right up my alley because since the beginning of the year, I have been taking photos of random strangers and I’ve tried as much as I can to give back to the community by talking to and hearing the stories of a lot of the homeless people in and around Cape Town.
The campaign is not just about helping those in need though, it is a lot more than that! It is about getting people to understand that if we carry on treating our planet, people and animals the way we have been, we are going to destroy ourselves.
So what does the #RicohChange inspire you to do? I’ve helped out in the community by giving back for an entire year, and I’ve also been raising awareness to protect our wildlife and plant more trees in the #Trees4Hope campaign by Platbos Forest.
If you have an idea on how you Imagine Change, then upload a photo to www.imaginechange.co.za and you could WIN yourself a Pentax K-5 ii DSLR with a 18-135mm WR lens valued at R20,000! Hurry though because entries close on the 17th of December 2014!
