Awesome news from photographer Scott Bourne, who has selected me as one of his 24 Emerging Photographer of the Year contest finalists. Here’s what Scott says on his website:

It’s easy to look at newspaper photography as mundane and routine. But Casey shows that newspaper photojournalism doesn’t have to be boring. Casey’s images are whimsical and are a great example of good photojournalism.

Cutting Jessica’s Dreads

Friends and family gathered Sunday at the home of Jessica Michielsen to help her cut her dreadlocks for a Haiti earthquake fundraiser. Jessica cut her hair for The House That Jack Built, the charity named in honour of her late father, the builder Jack Michielsen of Arkona, who died in 2005 of cancer. The House that Jack Built builds homes for needy families in Haiti. In the wake of last month’s earthquake, the fund needs to be filled to help as many families as possible.
Jessica has been growing the dreadlocks since 2005 as part of the process of grieving their father. Each dreadlock was worth $100, and with 50 dreadlocks available, Jessica exceeded her $5000 goal, raising $8000 for the fund.
Jessica invites interested donors to make a long-term commitment, and says fund managers, registered charity Baptist Haiti Mission Canada, will be on hand to discuss monthly withdrawals; any sized commitment is welcome.
Since the earthquake of January 12, Jessica says donations The House that Jack Built fund have exceeded $16,000. Donations are collected by registered charity Baptist Haiti Mission Canada and donations over $10 are receiptable.
