The Hope Moment
Every photographer wants people to see their photos. In addition to this I hope that people will see my photos and feel an inspired compassion. So it’s very well a dream come true to exhibit my photos during World Vision’s Ottawa Campaign for Children. If you are in the Ottawa area please join us this Thursday July 30th from 6pm-9pm at the Market Media Mall (the “A” Channel building) for an exhibition entitled The Hope Moment. You’ll see 19 of my photos from Ethiopia, South Africa, Brazil and El Salvador.
Above you’ll see the invitation and an article that appeared in today’s 24 Hours (the Ottawa addition) about the exhibit. You can click on them to see them larger. You can also find the Facebook invite here.
Also! If you are in the Ottawa area I will be on “A” Morning at 9:40 am on Thursday.

Love Come Down!
I hope you’ll come out to the El Macambo tonight between 6pm and 10pm! I’m showing two prints from my series Take Off Your Jacket Dreamer at an event called Love Come Down. We are raising money for Sketch. (Sketch provides art programs for street-involved, homeless and at risk youth).
I’m going on a PANIC!
Actually I’m not. However I did think it was a funny misreading of a Raffi song title on some vinyl and Lisa’s house. Raffi is Going on A Picnic. In any case it has nothing to do with the following post except that these are some places you should go (picnicking, panicking or otherwise);
If you are wondering what I was doing in Brazil. You can check out the Vancouver Campaign for Children in full swing here. Go Mi-Jung! Go Bob!

Blessed,
“I know you so well, I don’t even know you anymore”
Styling by Andrew Child and Dar M.
When challenged by local artist Sona Safaei to conceive a photograph with the theme “Urban Jealousy” I immediately thought of Andrew and Dar as collaborators for the project. Their unique style and character was perfect for a city story about love and the tragic loss that we face when our most intimate friendships become cloudy and vague.
As the city pushes it’s people to become more; more successful, more beautiful, more unique, more aloof, friendships are put to the test. “I know you, I know your weakness, but you are more than me… this is our urban jealousy.”
This photo is one in a series that will address the topic. The fight for reconciliation, for forgiveness, and our insatiable need for one another.
