The Five 4 Five "Shoot Cameras Not Guns" photography show rocked Los Angeles last summer.

The Five 4 Five "Shoot Cameras Not Guns" photography show rocked Los Angeles last summer. Close to 800 students participated, 8000 members of the public came to see it at the Gallery on Olvera Street. Led by Five 4 Five's prize winning photographer Sofia Hernandez, and helped by Mireya Hilario, Lizandro Machado, Paul Solis, and Gabriela Sepulveda, the show attracted rave reviews in the LA Times and neighborhood papers.

Dedicated to our beloved Humberto Gomez, a gifted student photographer who was murdered last year, it is a tribute to how young people see violence and seek to end it. "Shoot Cameras Not Guns Gallery Show" will launch a new program in Marin this season. Grants from the Marin Community Foundation, Autodesk and Milagro Foundation and Hal Brown, president of the Marin Board of Supervisors, are making it possible. Founders Gina Brownstein and Mary Ann Maggiore work with local schools and community groups to prove that art can both save and change lives.
