<v ->Hey everyone.</v>

2
00:00:01.313 --> 00:00:04.230 line:15% 
I'm Kelly, lead photographer here at Joni and Friends,

3
00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:07.050 line:15% 
and I'm here to give you an idea of what it's like to serve

4
00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:08.700 line:15% 
on a Wheels for the World outreach

5
00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:10.770
in the volunteer role of Photographer.

6
00:00:10.770 --> 00:00:13.080
As you might guess, the main responsibility

7
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.990
of the Photographer is to capture compelling images.

8
00:00:15.990 --> 00:00:18.060
In this case, what we're looking for are photos

9
00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:19.920
that will visually communicate the stories

10
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.860
of people we serve and your fellow volunteers.

11
00:00:22.860 --> 00:00:24.480
To be a good fit for this role,

12
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.460
you'll need to have experience with photography

13
00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:27.960
and be comfortable and willing

14
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.270
to use your own camera equipment.

15
00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:32.400
Of course, you'll also need to have an eye

16
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:35.520
for what makes a quality photo, as we'll be counting on you

17
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.380
to select your best photos to share.

18
00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.810
But most of all, what you need is a heart

19
00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:41.760
for people living with disabilities.

20
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:43.890
Because you will be engaging in a meaningful way

21
00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:45.090
with our participants,

22
00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:47.610
we expect you to be a loving presence to them.

23
00:00:47.610 --> 00:00:50.130
And while your main focus is photography,

24
00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:51.300
you'll also work closely

25
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:53.310
with the Support Volunteer on your team

26
00:00:53.310 --> 00:00:56.250
to capture select stories to support your photos.

27
00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:57.450
Speaking of your team,

28
00:00:57.450 --> 00:00:59.160
you'll be working with Joni and friends staff,

29
00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:02.070
and other volunteers in a supportive environment

30
00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:04.560
where you can expect to grow and be challenged,

31
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.930
and I mean challenged in a good way.

32
00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:09.360
You'll have a lot to juggle as you serve in this role.

33
00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:10.830
Photographing wheelchair recipients

34
00:01:10.830 --> 00:01:13.800
before, during, and after their fittings

35
00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:16.710
with special emphasis on those final fit shots,

36
00:01:16.710 --> 00:01:18.240
the dignifying portrait moments

37
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:19.380
after people have been seated

38
00:01:19.380 --> 00:01:21.780
in their new custom-fitted wheelchairs.

39
00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:24.750
Honestly, those moments are what it's all about.

40
00:01:24.750 --> 00:01:28.020
You'll get to witness and capture a person experiencing

41
00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:31.560
Christlike care and the love of Jesus in a new way.

42
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.350
And by getting just the right photo, you make it possible

43
00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:37.260
to share these transformational moments with others.

44
00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:39.510
So, if you love photography

45
00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:41.460
and want to share God's love with people,

46
00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:42.870
come learn more about joining

47
00:01:42.870 --> 00:01:45.020
one of our Wheels for the World outreaches.
