Boards Photobook 2012 & Print Auction
As you may know, for the past 3 years I have taken part in the Boards Photobook, which is a book made up from submissions by members of the boards.ie photography forum. The book has been produced by Shakespeare Books (Ireland) and is to raise funds for the Santa Strike Force. This years book is really wonderful and as an added bonus 60+ of the photographs from the book are now up for auction.

PRINT AUCTION – Boards Photobook 2012 (by Tracy O’Brien)
The BOARDS.ie 2012 Photo Book was launched on Saturday 1st December and contains the images submitted by the wonderful users of the Boards.ie Photography forum. Book can be purchased here for €36.69 – just enter the code Boards2012
This PRINT AUCTION is organised to raise additional funds for the Santa Strike Force – which was helped set up by Tom Murphy (DeVore) one of the founding members of Boards.ie. The SSF are a really cool charity: in the run-up before Christmas, they start quietly collecting toys and when the big day comes, all the SSF elves help Santa to hand out presents to kids who are staying in not-so-nice places. Places likes hospitals and care-centres.
