NOH8 CAMPAIGN SAN DIEGO OPEN PHOTO SHOOT The NOH8 Campaign comes to
San Diego for an open photo shoot at Hotel Solamar on Saturday, February 18, from 2 to 5 p.m. Funds raised by the NOH8 Campaign are used to continue promoting and raising awareness for marriage equality and anti-discrimination through NOH8’s interactive media campaign. This includes bringing it to other cities around the country,
as well as compiling the images for a large-scale media campaign. Contributions are also used to cover the daily operations and main- tenance necessary to run this rapidly growing campaign. The shoot is on a first come, first served basis and no reservations are available. Photographer and NOH8 Co-Founder Adam Bouska ensures the line moves quickly as he photographs five to ten frames for each person who comes through. The final selections he chooses are retouched and available on the website in eight weeks. The costs for the NOH8 portrait are $40 for solo portraits and $25 per person for couple and group shots. Fees cover processing services for one retouched digital print only and do not include physical prints. Anyone that would like to join the NOH8 Campaign is asked to wear a plain white shirt to match the look of the signature NOH8 photos. Hotel Solamar, 435 Sixth Avenue in Downtown San Diego.
