Cover shot + content photos I was commissioned for back in early March for the Retail Council of Canada’s Independant Retailer Magazine.
Four other photos were used in the story about how Rainbow Natural Foods, received the ultimate recognition for their years of dedication to sustainability – becoming the first Canadian health food store to gain Green Business Certification.
Because of my involvement with Heather,(1), and the impact it had on me, I recently contacted the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Canada, to volunteer my services as a photographer. Together with the foundation, the Childrens Hospital Of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and the Ottawa General Hospital, I have had the honour and privilege to provide photographic services to the sweetest and bravest children you will ever meet.
On Monday, February 8th, 2010, The Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, along the the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, will be holding their annual fundraiser, The Ottawa Senators 65 Roses Gala.
This also marks the 50th anniversary of the Foundation. There has been significant progress in cystic fibrosis research and care since the Foundation was established in 1960. Researchers across Canada are now studying all aspects of cystic fibrosis, including fixing the basic defect and treating the symptoms of the disease. Thanks to tremendous advances in research and treatment, people with cystic fibrosis are living longer and healthier lives.
Please take a moment and think about making a difference in the life of a child afflicted with cystic fibrosis and come on out on and support this very worthy cause.
Proceeds from this event support the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in conducting health research and supporting specialized care for children and young adults battling cystic fibrosis.
Hope to see you there!

Vincent Laforet, a New York based editorial and commercial photographer has posted a video shot in available darkness with a pre-production EOS-1D Mark IV.
Absolutely incredible!
Just over a year ago, Vincent was one of the first photographers to post a video taken with the then new Canon 5D MKII. That short film, Reverie, can be seen here.
