I am back to apologizing.  This year has certainly hyped up since May and I am now sitting with work deadlines and not a lot of spare time.  We are already October and I have yet to feature August and September’s beautiful images.  Thank you for bearing with us as we do some catch up.  We love seeing all your beautiful images.

 

August 2019

In August, Michèle Tremblay Photo chose the theme {Summer Days} and we had so many stunning images. Thank you for sharing them with us Michèle chose the image below submitted by @kristcx as the Guest Featured image for the following reason:

I’d say about this picture that it has a vintage feel that takes me back to my own childhood when we were riding here and there in a total sense of freedom as a way of living. When looking at it, I here a call for adventure with a great companion for the journey!

Congratulations @kristcx for being chosen as the Guest Featured artist for the the theme {Summer Days}

 

Below in no particular order are all the images that the blog contributors have selected to be highlight.  What fantastic images we had for this theme.  There were over 450 images to choose from, making it very difficult to limit it to 8 images.

 

September 2019

September is a special month that raises the awareness of Childhood Cancer.  If you did not read the blogs on {Gold} I would encourage you to do so.

Sharleen Stuart Photography chose the  image submitted by @daisy.seilern as her Guest Featured image for the following reasons:

I loved this {Gold } image  for many reasons.  I love the tranquility of the image, the beautiful sun rays and the gorgeous bokeh. For me this is a very calming image in the midst of so much busyness.  The {Gold} theme is about children and this one represents all the children and it resonates with me how precious each and every child is. 

Congratulations @daisy.seilern for being selected as the Guest Featured Artist for the theme {Gold}

 

Below in no particular order are all the images that the blog contributors have selected to be highlight.  The gold theme always touches my heart, and I hope it does yours as well.

 

There have been so many fantastic images the past 2 months and we would encourage you to go and check these artists out.  They have some stunning images.

 

For the month of October the theme is {Pink} in honor of breast cancer awareness.  The blog contributors shared the following images:

 

If you have not shared a {Pink} image with us, please remember to tag #sharesix_pink for a chance to be featured on the Share Six Facebook page, the Instagram page and here on our webpage.

Last year Share Six was approached about being part of a group of artists who highlighted Childhood Cancer Awareness.  This year we decided to be part of this again, teaming up with other artists and The Gold Hope Project.  Childhood Cancer affects so many people.  We probably all know someone who has either lost a child to cancer or has a child struggling with cancer.  I know I do.

 

 

Here are a few things you many not know Childhood Cancer:

Cancer is the #1 disease killer of kids in the US.

Childhood Cancer is more than a dozen types of cancers combined including tumors,  leukemia and lymphomas.

The causes of most childhood cancer is unknown. Childhood cancer can not be prevented.

Many childhood cancer treatments are the same that existed in the 1970s.

 

1 out of 8 children with cancer will not survive.

Childhood cancer research receives 4% of the annual budget from the National Cancer Institute. That equals 195 million for all 12 types of childhood cancer. Adult cancers receive the renewing 96% of the budget.

9 children are diagnosed with a brain tumor everyday.

43 children are diagnosed with cancer each day.

 

 

For those of you that don’t know, The Gold Hope Project is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of photographers who aim to provide free portrait sessions to families battling pediatric cancer. As photographers, we understand how truly important it is to document our children’s lives, and what better gift to give to parents going through such a tremendously difficult time!

 

 

In addition to pairing young warriors with photographers, @TheGoldHopeProject also works to raise funds for pediatric cancer research! If you want to participate with us this month, here are just a few things you can consider:

1. Tag your gold photos with the #TeamUp4GoldKids (for features) and #theGoldHopeProject (to spread awareness). You will have a chance to be featured on one of the MANY participating hubs for the month of September!

2. Go to goldhopeproject.com and see how you can apply to be a registered photographer!

3. Donate! It DOES make a difference!

Ten Facts about Childhood Cancer:  (https://www.alexslemonade.org/blog/2017/09/childhood-cancer-awareness-month-ten-facts-you-need-know)

  1. Childhood cancer is not one disease, but several.
  2. Everyday there is almost 700 cases of new cancer around the world.
  3. Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children in the United States.
  4. Childhood cancer treatment is no longer just chemotherapy and radiation.

For the rest of the month of September and up until October 5th the theme is {Gold 2019}.  Come and help us turn Facebook and Instagram {Gold 2019}.  

We look forward to seeing your images on our Facebook page and our Instagram Page.  Don’t forget to tag the Instagram posts with #sharesix_gold2019.  Each month we feature one artist on our Facebook and Webpage banner.  We will also do an interview with the featured artist, so share your images to be a part of this opportunity.

Look out for the new theme on October 6.
