PV Photographer Timothy Greenfield- Sanders Honored by Red Cross
Volunteers from New York City and Rockland and Sullivan counties, along with celebrated photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, the Association for Metroarea Autistic Children, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association and Credit Suisse, received special honors from the American Red Cross in Greater New York (ARC/GNY) for their extraordinary commitment to helping New Yorkers and those in need elsewhere in the U.S. and worldwide with disaster relief services, emergency preparedness and safety education.
The 2007 ARC/GNY awards were presented at the volunteer recognition ceremony held at the chapter's headquarters at 520 West 49th Street in Manhattan on June 7, 2007. The event marked the first volunteer recognition ceremony at ARC/GNY's new headquarters.
Renowned photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, who resides in Putnam Valley and Manhattan, generously volunteered his time and talent to create the dramatic American Red Cross Hometown Heroes Celebrity Portrait Campaign. In his 30-year career, Mr. Greenfield-Sanders has photographed hundreds of world leaders, celebrities and everyday people. Many of his works are included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum, The Whitney Museum and The National Portrait Gallery. He is a contributing photographer at Vanity Fair and his iconic images can be seen in magazines worldwide and in numerous published works.
The goal of the Hometown Heroes campaign, photographed at Mr. Greenfield-Sanders' Manhattan studio, is to encourage volunteerism with the American Red Cross by highlighting the diversity of the organization's volunteer corps. The portrait campaign serves as an elegant metaphor of what Red Cross volunteers do every day - touch lives by providing help and comfort.
