The San Francisco cityscape at sunset. Lady Gaga in concert. A sumo
wrestler meets an unlikely match. Sunrise in Shanghai.

That’s just a sampling of the amazing images you’ll find at this

AAJA SF is joining a number of community partners to co-sponsor a benefit for
the victims of typhoon Ketsana. The massive flooding in Metropolitan Manila in
the Philippines has claimed hundreds of lives and displaced over 700,000 people in what
is considered the worst such calamity in the region’s history. The impact of this
unfortunate event will be felt for many months ahead and the country will need
a lot of help from the global community in rehabilitation efforts as well as in dealing
with resulting food and basic supply shortages and the spread of disease.
