Earlier this month, I was fortunate to have been the photographer for a three day event held by Global Resource Services. They are a non-profit Christian based organization, whose focus is to reconcile differences between cultures and nations, where peace and stability is a concern. The event was held at the Tucson Omni National Resort and began on the first day with a Beyond Charity Golf Tournament at 7am. Coffee anyone?
On day 2 a familiar face showed for the banquet, Tucson’s Mayor Bob Walkup.
About Paul Van Helden
Paul Van Helden is an active, wedding, portrait, event, engagement, real estate, still life, nature and landscape photographer, based in Tucson Arizona. He has worked professionally for close to twenty years. Nature photographer Fred Dodd Jr. introduced him to photography in 1982. Later, Paul studied photography at Dean College and learned to photograph weddings under the tutelage of Craig Roberts Studio, in Franklin, Massachusetts. After working as a freelance wedding specialist for five years, he started his own wedding photography business in Bellingham, Massachusetts in 1995. He succeeded to shoot hundreds of weddings, throughout New England. All the while, years of zoning changes were slowly degrading the quality of life where he lived. After a hard fought campaign, with the local planning board, fell on deaf ears, in 2004 he decided to move to Tucson, where other family members had relocated to, in previous years.
