Sometimes, you just gotta breathe

Sometimes you just have to stop, take a look around, and breathe deeply. Beauty is all around us and in this fast paced life, one tends to forget to enjoy the little things.
The beginning of a new chapter: 120 Film
in Film, Photography
Mamiya. Medium format. Great body, and feel in the hands.
Ever since I could remember film photography has had this special place in my heart. There is something great about not having to worry about the shot and just living in the moment. This is something that has been personified with the recent acquisition of my medium format camera.
I recently bought a Mamiya 645 off of eBay and from the minute I saw it, I knew it was going to be great. Upon arrival, I quickly read through all the manuals and familiarized myself with the basics of the camera: how to load the film, how to release the shutter, how to assemble the camera, and of course maintenance.
At first I got really nervous. There is no auto metering. There is no way in camera to know what the right settings are. How will I know if I am exposing properly? I decided that the first roll (or few) would always be for practice, so after a first few snaps everything started to fade. I started to rely on what I know and my skills. I stopped caring about numbers and focused more on composition and what my narrative would be.
Keep an eye on the personal section of the website for the next few series I will be creating with my Mamiya.

Meagans Walk 2015
in Photography, Event
This year I had the pleasure of photographing the annual Meagan's Walk 5Km Fundraising Walk&Hug from Fort York to SickKids. Meagan’s Walk was founded by Denise Bebenek in 2001, the year she lost her cherished five-year-old daughter Meagan to a cancerous brain tumor.
From the www.meaganswalk.com website
Our mission is to share the message of hope, to increase public awareness about brain tumors and the devastating effects they have on children and their families, and to raise valuable financial resources for research into paediatric brain tumours - the leading cause of cancer-related death in children and young people under the age of 20.
Our flagship event is our Walk, which takes place annually on Mother's Day weekend. Each year thousands of participants of all abilities take part in the 5km walk, which culminates in an human hug around the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), sending strength and love to those within.
It is always a pleasure and such an emotional event. Check out some of the photographs from the day.
