Introducing D-Back Photography

Hi all. I'm here to introduce a new KraftieKidz shop section. Well it's not really a new section, I just renamed it, but it is a new name!

Daniel's Business Card

Introducing D-Back Photography.

D-Back is just a play on Daniel's name. He came up with the name about a month ago when he was playing around and started adding it to the photos he posted on instagram. 

Daniel has always had a passion for photography, but after talking with Shelly (owner of the Shoppes on Trade which you can read here ) and hearing that her customers are looking for more local photographs I think has sparked a new interest in that field.

 He is currently taking classes and we have already taken two different trips to areas around Greenville county and plan on taking more this year. 

Daniel's dream is to one day own his own studio where he will display his photography and his art.

This photograph was taken at the Greenville Zoo. Known as Baby Bob, this 8 year old orangutan no longer lives here. Bob, who was born in the Greenville Zoo was moved to the Oregon Zoo in Portland where zoo officials are hoping he will start a new family.

You can follow Daniel on instagram @dbackphotography for more of his photography and @d.backer for his art. You can also follow him on facebook. 

A Christmas Project: Blessing Bags for the Homeless

Yesterday we had the privilege of taking our Teens from church to pass out Blessing bags to our homeless. We took them to the Rescue Mission in Downtown Greenville. And boy were the men happy to get them! We didn't even get a chance to walk around, once word spread they came to us.

It was nice to watch the men go through their bags, some even were trading their items for what they wanted. The sad part was when we ran out of bags; once we ran out we had to load up the teens before more came looking for bags.

We plan on doing this again once we raise up money for more supplies. After yesterday we discussed about maybe starting a fund just for this purpose. And maybe next time we will have more bags to pass out.

For now I'll leave you with the one picture I was able to take.

Here the boys and one of our men from church are talking to a homeless man. The blue bag he is holding is a blessing bag.
