Mali Dance Party
You know when kids are running towards something with DELIGHT on their faces that it’s going to be good.
I’m processing my photos from Mali and I thought I’d take a time out to share these photos with you. They bring me so much joy. We were filming in a rural village when we suddenly heard drumming. We arrived at the sound and we saw some traditional Malian dancing. The energy there was amazing. Truly fun to see some of the women with babies strapped to their backs getting some height on those jumps! And of course my favourite dancer - the elderly lady who showed the young folk a thing or two! Turns out there was a wedding celebration happening in the village - I’m so glad that I was there to see it.
The Untold Stories at the Contact Photo Festival
Well friends, it’s been a long road - but today’s the day! I’m so happy to announce that the Untold Stories is opening tonight at the University of Toronto. The show exhibits photographs taken by myself and two of my fellow photographers at World Vision: Paul Bettings and Andrew Goodwin. We’ve selected photographs and stories that you typically would not see in World Vision media - particularly stories of people who have made a lasting impression on each of us during our travels.
I hope that you’ll join us tonight from 7PM-10PM to learn about the world that we have seen and the work that we do. There will be a Q&A at 9PM. If you can’t make it out tonight be sure to check it out during the month of May.
