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.

Victoria is oozing with musical talent at the moment, thanks to Rifflandia! www.rifflandia.com I totally adore watching people do what they are passionate about.

I got a call recently from Jen because her regular second shooter had hurt his hand and she needed someone to fill in for one of her weddings. It was my first experience second shooting and I have to say it was pretty fun to step back and work…
