February 4, 2005 — Distinguished businessman Mitch Goldstone recently started a humanitarian campaign titled Operation Photo which will provide the families of deployed service members with digital cameras. These cameras will allow the families to keep in close contact with their loved ones overseas with the aid of digital images.

As a part of the communications programs, the cameras will be distributed by the national non profit organization known as Operation Homefront and each package will include a 40 percent discount when ordering Kodak quality images from the www.30minphotos.com website.

Both the Eastman Kodak Company and the Olympus Corporation have announced their participation and support of Operation Photo. The program’s website www.operationphoto.us is currently receiving more requests than their current supply can handle.

Please send your used digital camera in good working condition to Operation Photo, c/o 30 Minute Photos Etc., 92 Corporate Park Plaza, Suite B, Irvine, CA 92606 and if you include your e-mail address you will receive a 25% off all online photo orders at www.30minphotos.com through Dec 31. For more information on this program please e-mail inquires to info@30minphotos.com.
