Back in March, I was one of the volunteers for answering the telephones for the University Of Ottawa’s Heart Institute telethon. I arrived a little early to capture some behind the scenes action.
The German magazine “Gitarre & Bass” today published the photo below to go along with an interview with Robert DeLeo, bassist for the Stone Temple Pilots. The photo was taken last summer at the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest.
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.

Lyndon Slewidge is an Ontario Provincial Police officer who also sings anthems for the Ottawa Senators hockey club. He has been the club’s official anthem singer since 1994, and is familiar with at least 13 national anthems. Slewidge typically ends an anthem with a wink and a thumbs up sign.
Len is an accomplished Canadian singer/actor in numerous Broadway shows. He won a Best Actor (Musical) Tony Award in 1979 for “Sweeney Todd”. He was also Tony-nominated in the same category in 1970 for “Applause,” and in 1973 for “A Little Night Music,” a role he recreated in the film version of the same name, A Little Night Music (1977).
He won a Canadian Genie Award for Best Actor in “One Man”.
You may remember him in “About Schmidt” CSI and Law and Order.

Len is married to Heather Summerhayes, daughter of the Founding President for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF), and both her parents are recipients of the Order of Canada in recognition for their work in inaugurating the CCFF. Heather is a professional actress and dancer who resides in New York City with her husband.
In May of 1959 Doug & Donna Summerhayes organized a meeting of more than 100 parents of children with Cystic Fibrosis. At this meeting, they laid the groundwork for what later became The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
In the early years, Doug and Donna traveled throughout Canada, often at their own expense, to raise awareness and help establish local chapters. Doug was the Foundation’s first President and Donna was the first editor of the Foundation’s newsletter.
For their continuous efforts and remarkable achievements, Doug and Donna Summerhayes were awarded the Order of Canada, Donna in 1987 and Doug in 1988. Officially incorporated in 1960, this year marks the 50th anniversary of The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and are also hosting their annual conference here in Ottawa.
To kick off the 4 day meeting, a donors reception was held at the Rideau Club and I, along with my friend Leon were asked to photograph the event.
Here I am with Mrs. Mila Mulroney, wife of the 18th Prime Minister of Canada, Brian Mulroney, and the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Canada’s Minister of Finance.
Thanks for the photos Leon!
