ABC World News Tonight ran a segment on the Heart Gallery Photographers. For those that missed the segment, the photographers involved donate their time to photograph and raise awareness for the over 130,000 orphaned American children. With the constant news of photographers harassing celebrities, the public opinion of journalists as being less honest than state and local officeholders, and Hollywood movies such as Paparazzi, it is refreshing to be shown some of the good that photographers help make on a daily basis.

The piece explained how the photographers have to dig past a child’s hard exterior, built up by years of abuse and neglect. It is when they melt away this shell that the photographers “hit gold,” as one photographer put it.

According to ABC World News Tonight, the Heart Galleries can be found in 50 cities across the nation.
