It appears I've become a Choral Choir groupie

/

It all started innocently enough with Cor Flammae and a group photo shoot with 21 of the most fabulously dressed Choral singers in Vancouver.  
How do you top a shoot like that? Well, you have to do the next one on a rooftop. Obviously.
Feast your eyes on the Vancouver Cantata Singers. 25 elegantly dressed award-winning Choral singers.
Despite blaring sun (it was supposed to be dramatic clouds that day) and gusting winds we managed to capture a fantastic group shot of them.

Thanks to Olivia Chao and Debbie Pipe for shoot assistance and Debbie for taking these fun behind the scenes shots.

The Lowdown Project

/

I met a poet recently and he asked, "Do you write?"
I replied, "Yes, but rarely, only when I am grieving or newly in love".
He said, "Yes, isn't that always the way."

I was invited to walk the Downtown Eastside in August with some of the Poets involved in The Low Down Project. The Project was curated by F.O.U.N.D. Spaces and featured beautifully stenciled lines from the artists poems.
I felt inspired after meeting them all and after hearing them read their own words.

I was thrilled when author Amber Dawn asked me to create 2015 promo images for her.
One of these beautiful images we created together will be used on the back of her new book jacket. Amber Dawn's new book of poetry will be revealed Spring of 2015!!
