I don't think so. He's japanese himself but you never know if people are that grimey.

So a photographer friend of mine in the Seattle area had an idea to set up photoshoots and charge 10$, and he is donating that money to Japan.

So I had the idea that I'll do the same for the NYC area.
I was thinking of going to Union Square, and bringing a small lighting setup and offering my photography for 10$ and I'll also bring my laptop, and donate to the niketalk page the moment someone gives a donation. 
Anybody other Photographers in NYC willing to help me out with this?

You put the wrong link for the video.

This was posted in the other thread, but I thought it was worth posting here...it's some very powerful stuff.

you can see a breakdown of how the funds are allocated on the linked website.  It looks like mercycorps has a pretty decent rating.

I understand and appreciate your concern.  You want to do the best you can for the people of Japan with the limited resources you have available, and we've all heard horror stories about nonprofits using donor money in very inefficient ways as some of them, sadly, treat it as "found" money and use it as judiciously as someone might use lottery ticket winnings.  The key is not to let something like the Red Cross problems after Hurricane Katrina make us cynical and prevent us from helping those in need.  We always make a strong effort to assess the charities we contribute to to get the very most we can out of each dollar we raise.  As I mentioned, Mercy Corps has a strong track record when it comes to efficiency and the fact that they'll be forwarding these donations to a well-established organization that's already on the ground in Japan makes a world of difference.  This wasn't an arbitrary selection on our part and we didn't just go with the "brand name."  I hope you feel confident enough to donate, but I'd like to encourage you to contribute to the organization you feel the most comfortable with.  Just don't talk yourself out of helping entirely.

Appreciate the replies

.  Yeah, the whole red cross thing was what I was worried about because I'd hate to see NT donate so much money only to have a small portion go out to the people that need it the most.  I'll definitely donate more money when I get the chance...
