Operation Photo Press Release

Operation Photo, National initiative to donate 10,000 used and older model digital cameras to military families by Valentine’s Day

The Eastman Kodak Company is donating one-hundred 3-mega pixel Kodak CX-6630 EasyShare digital cameras to Operation Photo for distribution to military families as part of Operation Photo’s national initiative to provide cameras to military families.Olympus Corp.  has announced that they are donating fifty Olympus digital cameras as well. Because Operation Photo (www.operationphoto.us) is receiving three-times as many requests for cameras as those being donated, Mitch Goldstone, founder of this national initiative is seeking support from other camera manufactures and from suppliers of memory cards and other accessories. Cameras are arriving from across the county and Operation Photo is listed on many digital camera and photography websites and on military-themed sites as well. Operation Photo was featured in The Chicago Tribune and on Fox Network News.

Goldstone is planning to present the collected cameras to www.operationhomefront.net during a press conference on Valentine’s Day—Monday February 14th in Irvine, CA.  The event might include a live remote afternoon drive-time radio broadcast from on of Los Angeles leading AM talk-radio stations, where listeners will be asked to drive by 30 Minute Photos Etc. and drop of their used digital cameras.

Ed note: Operation Photo is receiving emails from military families across the U.S. seeking cameras and each includes compelling and passionate reasons why they would like to receive a donated camera.  Please reply if you would like to view a sampling, with contact info.
