Couples of posts back, I shared about a photo book we made to raise funds for charity and the one which is going out around the world to get autographs from contributors.
Now, Microsoft’s PR department has decided that the “Photographers at Microsoft” book is the right gift for visiting VIP’s and heads of state. With the many regulations and laws that dictate what a government official can accept, it turns out this is a perfect fit. It is a quality gift that will be received well and appreciated. It tells a great story about Microsoft’s charity work. It demonstrates an international consciousness. This was a completely unintended byproduct of the book effort and is delightful.
Today, Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations visited Microsoft and Steve Ballmer presented him a copy of “Photographers at Microsoft” signed by Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates.
I am proud for what we (photographers who contributed to the book) collectively did to make this book happen.
