BEVERLY HILLS, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/Dec. 9, 2006 --- One of the most beloved photographers in the world, William Claxton transcends the ordinary to the extraordinary as he captures the essence of life with emotion - a feeling that is universally understood - via an unprecedented event to benefit the Center for Jazz Arts (CJA), an organization dedicated to growing global understanding of and appreciation for American values.
On December 15, the virtual gavel will go down on five separate auctions, each featuring a distinct opportunity to accompany Claxton on a photo shoot with a celebrity - from Star Trek to stardom, each lays claim to fame and recognition in the creative arts industry, along with a long list of distinguished awards and accolades. To commemorate the occasion of the time spent with Claxton and the illustrious personality, the winning bidder will receive a limited edition print selected from the shoot.

The crummy thing is that the opening bid needs to be $7500...maybe we could all chip in, then draw straws to see who gets to go...
I admit I am sorely tempted to hock something and bid. Only thing is, the auction says it would need to be a 'mutually agreeable date and time,' and I have a few non-changeable overseas trips planned next year. Watch 'em be the only weeks Stewart could do the shoot...
