Local Business Recycles Wedding Dresses and Supports Charity
BRIDES FOR A CAUSE EVENT
by Erica J Mitchell
I was given the opportunity to photograph an on tour special event hosted by Bride for a Cause. An organization that operates a circular wedding dress system where you can donate your wedding dress or purchase a once worn wedding at a fraction of the price. Half of the purchase supports the continuing efforts of Brides for a Cause to travel the dresses and the other half is sent to charity to help couples facing terminal illnesses create the wedding of their dreams.
DETAILS ABOUT BRIDES FOR A CAUSE
Brides for a Cause is a charitable wedding dress organization that collects and resells wedding dresses to raise funds charity. We are exclusively partnered with Wish Upon A Wedding, the world’s first national non profit organization that provides weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness and other serious life altering circumstances. 50% of all proceeds go to the charity. We have collected more than 1,000 wedding dress donations since July 2012 and receives new dresses daily.

Food|Waves Production at Converging Creeks Farm
Recently, I had the opportunity to exit the city and enter the county. I explored Converging Creeks Farm which operates Food|Waves (www.foodwaves.org) and sells their produce at our local farmers market at PSU (www.portlandfarmersmarket.org/) and is an advocate for sustainable agriculture. I was able to photograph all aspects of the farm from turkeys and goats to harvesting squash and planting lettuce – I even experienced a fresh meal picked right from the farm; which by the way was fantastic. The entire day was filled with new knowledge and information about fresh food, cooking methods and the inner workings of a farm community. I loved the outdoor kitchen area and the two little puppies running around carelessly. It was an amazingly different day from my city life.
Special thanks to Co-Executive Director Nathan McFall, Alicia Milligan and intern Jessica McNaughton for allowing me to showcase a vibrant alternative and fruitful example of living from the land.

Layers of a Home
Art is everywhere
LAYERS OF A HOME
Like the ebb and flow of time,
Every layer built on every layer,
Tears away as it adds,
From here we can see forward and backwards,
Frozen in a moment in time forever,
Never changing but unable to ever stay the same.
