Hi Friends and Beneficiaries,   
You rarely hear from me directly—I  am often the silent curatorial partner, the guy too swamped with looking  at photos to talk turkey, but I’m coming out; all guts and a little bit  of glory.  amani once mocked up a fake image of us as DJ Jazzy Jeff and  the Fresh Prince followed by “He’s the DJ, I’m the Curator” and that  might as well fit your vision of how we operate, but seriously, I want  Humble to have funding just as much as “that guy.” Which is why I’m  coming to you, decked out in knee pads and short shorts for plea #3 of 8  (yes there will be more).  
For this plea, we want to appeal to  the quid-pro-quo types. We know there are many other organizations and  causes to donate to, so we want to make this worth your while, and if  the $12 plea is not for you, we have another option. Purchase an Artist membership and we will send you a complimentary copy of The Collector’s Guide to New Art Photography Vol. 2.  If you’re an artist, which, let’s face it, many of you are, you now not  only become a member of Humble, but you’ll be FREE from application  fees for the next 12 months, and you get a free book!  
This offer lasts until Friday, 11:59, PST (Must reside in the U.S. For international, please send an email to hello@hafny.org).  
Purchase an Artist membership today.    
Thank again to the generous people who have already donated. 
Warmly,   Jon Feinstein
Co-Founder and Curatorial Director
