Beloved Japan. Part II- Action.

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. ~Edward Everett Hale

This quote really struck a chord with me.

The recent events in Japan have been so tragic and overwhelming. I had trouble carrying on as usual because so many people were no longer able. I reached a point though when I realized that my empathy was resulting in personal immobility and not useful action. As you can imagine, that wasn’t helping anyone. So I brainstormed ways that I could help and this is what I came up with:

For 2011, 100% of the profits from my photo cards will be donated to the Red Cross. Please click on the image below to access the online ordering gallery.  Instead of grabbing your cards at a store this year, consider buying them here to support relief efforts by the Red Cross.

I would like to thank you all in advance for considering helping out our neighbours. For more information on the Red Cross, check out their website here.

Details: Cards are $5 each, 10 for $30 or 25 for $50.  The cards are beautiful photos on high quality cardstock and come with envelopes. You can pick and choose which images you would like in the packs of cards (if you buy the packs make sure you chose the “photo package” option under the Buy drop-down menu to enjoy the discount pricing). I would be happy to add text to the photos if you are wanting them for particular celebrations or if you would like to use them as thank yous or business send-outs. When purchasing it will mention a three week wait but the cards will actually be ready in a week. Click image below to see photo options.

    Last night in Vic, DJ Champion and his G-Strings took the stage at Sugar. It is impossible for my words to do justice to the killer performance they gave. If they ever stop in your town, GO SEE THEM! They are what live shows are all about. The incredible energy they brought to the stage was infectious and the packed crowd couldn’t get enough. DJ Champion does fabulous builds that take you from a toe tappin’ head bob to a thumping, jumping, super-happy dance. You can’t help it. It just happens. Nobody in the place could resist their charms. Check…

  • Fibre Fest – Victoria, BC – Keri Coles Photography

    As some of you know, I have happened into a whole bunch of yarn. By bunch, I mean POUNDS. It all began innocently enough when I made a cowl last winter. I loved making it and it was something that I could do while hanging out with my wee one (like many, the moment I became a mom I developed a compulsion to multitask). People kept making comments about how much they loved the cowls so I starting thinking about selling them. I wasn’t super happy with the yarn I was finding around town so I jumped at the chance…

  • Family Photos

    My good friend Erin came by with her two kids as well as her sister’s two girls to get some photos for Christmas. What a gorgeous group they are! There is never a dull moment when you are photographing a few children together! Sometimes the best solution is to just let them play and have fun! Did I mention I love kids 😉 Great seeing you Erin!!

  • Gitga’at Rally to protest the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline.

    It was so moving being up at the rally in Prince Rupert and seeing community come together with such solidarity against the Enbridge pipeline. Many remote and coastal communities depend directly on the lands and waters for their food, livelihood, and cultural practices. If there was a spill in the area, it would not just be an inconvenience, it would completely desecrate the way of life for thousands of people, not to mention sealife and wildlife. In opposing the pipeline, these communities are fighting for their lives. One of the reasons I feel so strongly about getting personally involved as…

  • Magical moments.

    Here are a few magical moments from Stephanie & Brian’s wedding day. I cannot express in words the gratitude and warmth that I feel for this couple. Stephanie & Brian first met with me and subsequently hired me while I was still dealing with my inner ear issues and vertigo. Even though their wedding was a few months away I had no idea whether I would be healthy for it (I am still so jubilant and grateful that I am healed!). When they said they wanted to book me I replied that I totally appreciated their support and confidence but…
