ROSE USA FUNDRAISER IN WALL STREET JOURNAL
By Lorraine Cwelich
Fashion and music collided on the walls of the Milk Gallery in Manhattan’s Chelsea district this week, to benefit relief efforts in Haiti. The event, which consisted of a silent auction of donated works from world-renowned rock and fashion photographers, was the brainchild of model/actress Noot Seear, who co-starred with Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson in the second Twilight film, “New Moon.”
Seear, who is the president of the U.S. chapter of Rose Charities, says she was able to pull a few string to get the event, which was curated by John Gettings, off the ground. “I’ve been a model for 13 years so I had a lot of connections with the photographers,” she said. “Everyone gave absolutely their best work and it showed.”
In addition to talking about Rose Charities (”we’re not just going to Haiti and sending in doctors and leaving… we’re also teaching Haitians to become pediatricians and restarting the nurse’s unit”), Seear was also happy to talk about her “New Moon” experience. She said that she won’t be in the third film but will reappear in the fourth, and became good friends with Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz.

New Moon Noot - Fotorelief for Haiti - Rose Charities USA
New Moon's Heidi Helps Haiti
Noot Seear, supermodel, actress (she plays Heidi in New Moon), and President of Rose Charities, hosted an evening of photography and charity with Fotorelief to benefit Haiti recently at Milk Gallery in NYC. The silent photo auction called, "A Picture Saves a Thousand Lives," featured work by over 100 of the world's most respected fashion and fine art photographers (including Annie Leibovitz, Patrick Demarchelier, Terry Richardson, and Steven Klein, to name a few). In between mingling with guests and taping down starting bids throughout the gallery, Noot managed to catch up with Seventeen about her goal for the night, her beauty tips, and whether she'll be making an appearance in Breaking Dawn. See what she had to say...
Seventeen: Tell me about tonight's event and why this cause is important to you.
Noot Seear: This is the 9th event I've done and I'm excited about the work featured tonight, especially since it's not all fashion photography. There's a good mix of amazing photographers represented. All of the proceeds from the auction will go to Rose Charities, to provide long-term care and rehabilitation for the survivors of the Haitian earthquake.
17: What are some beauty tips you've learned from modeling?
Noot: Always have confidence. That's the most important thing. Moisturizer is also really important, but it's good to keep things simple.
17: Will we be seeing more of Heidi in Breaking Dawn?
Noot: Yes! I've been contracted and I'm really excited. Everyone is great to work with.
"A Picture Saves a Thousand Lives" raised over 70,000 dollars to help Haiti. To find out more about how you can give back visit rosecharities.info.

Our Voices Project Idaho
Our Voices 1st Workshop from Our Voices Project on Vimeo.
This is a quick look at the first Our Voices Project which took place the week of May 18th-24th, 2009. Photographer Hunter Barnes and artist Jason Rosenstock took cameras, printers, scanners and computers to the town of Lapwai, Idaho on the Nez Perce reservation and conducted a ten day workshop with teens there. Black and white 35mm photography, scanning, printing were taught as well as digital video shooting and editing. The students were asked to tell stories of their daily lives on the reservation through these mediums. All the equipment was left for the students to use and they have produced amazing work See also Our Voices Project update site
Alzheimers - the uninvited intruder
Alzheimer's Disease encroaches in a surreptitious, covert and merciless manner. It destroys the lives of the sufferer and those who love them. There are almost 5 million affected today in North America. In 20 years this is predicted to double. There is hope though in research. Although early days, there are already treatments which can slow the progression of symptoms. Its a small start, but it is a start and research continues; who knows there could be a breakthrough being discovered in some laboratory this very minute. To mention two relevent initiatives here..
Denis Dronjic is currently fundraising for Alzheimers research through a sponsored walk to Santiago Denis himself, nearly killed in a bike accident a year ago is now able to (miraculously to the doctors) walk again so is undertaking the walk in appreciation of his remarkabe recovery.
Look soon for a new book relating to Alzheimers, and the beautiful Pacific Northwest (Washington State N.W) by Lyn Hansen-Blizzard "A Story for You.. The Darker side of Life".
