NONTOMBI NAOMI TUTU
Human Rights Activist Nontombi Naomi Tutu came to Victoria recently to discuss “us and them: how we construct the ‘other’”. She is an amazing woman and a powerful speaker. I had the opportunity to present her with a photograph that I took of her father Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama when they were part of a roundtable dialogue at UBC in 2004.
Violet
You have to check out this awesome new addition to the human race. Violet is just the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen. She’s also the first baby that has fit into the cocoon I crocheted (bonus points for you, Violet!).
Rob Kettner- Fernwood Coffee
I recently photographed Rob Kettner of Fernwood Coffee doing his magic. He was fine-tuning his skills and delivery for the Canadian Barista Championship. Just after I did the shoot he went on to win said competition 😉 Way to go, Rob!!! Click image below to view a slideshow of his winning routine. Warning- You will have a strong desire for a cup of java after viewing 😉

I thought you could use a feast for the eyes today so I went out and played. Click on the images to see a bigger version.
Apple Pressing
Our neighbours and friends invited us to join them for a day of apple pressing. Not only did the day create the most delicious apple juice I have ever tasted, it also highlighted for me all the reasons why I am so passionate about local food production: community building, food security, low fossil fuel consumption, good ol’ back to nature outdoor time. We ground and pressed the apples outside under an apple tree, sheltered from the rain that otherwise would have sent us running indoors. It was so magical to work in that setting, noticing the shifts in the weather….
Love & Laughter
What an incredible shoot it was with Keira & Tegan. So much love and laughter. The light was beautiful as the sun headed towards the horizon on this hot summer evening. I feel so fortunate when I get to photograph the raw and vibrant love that exists between a parent and child. Thank you, Keira & Tegan, for allowing me into your wondrous world and for the beer on the sun-kissed deck afterwards 😉
