The photo community in Los Angeles has been severely impacted by the devasting fires from Malibu to Pacific Palisades to Altadena. Many have lost their homes, their studios, their place of business, their gear and their archives. We know that the challenges for fire victims are just beginning.
Just as a start to get through this, here are GoFund-me for photographers including some who have served on APA's Board:
APA LA is working with partner organizations and sponsors to consider ideas on how to best help the community.

In January, APA LA’s monthly event "Second Sunday" was canceled because of the fires, but we are looking forward to gathering next month. It's a casual meet up that is open to everyone. Please come out and join us. It's a great way to stay connected.
On behalf of the APA Board and everyone at APA,
Juliette Wolf-Robin
National Executive Director
