Today I received my Raspberry Pi model B. it is an early birthday present from my friend Ashley. I won’t go on too much about what it is beyond the obvious, a tiny one board computer, and let you read the Wikipedia article. I don’t have a microusb cable so I can’t power it yet; but by Monday I should be able to post a full review.
Easter is around the corner and I had the chance to document one of the best productions in the area done on that topic; The Passion at Forward Church in Cambridge, Ontario, where under the leadership of their worship pastor, and good friend of mine, Gary Sharpe, the gospel comes to life in a superb feat of acting and live music embodying the life changing message of Jesus Christ.
Admission is free and performances range from this weekend to the Easter weekend. So pick the date that works best for you and don’t let one of the attractions our region has to offer escape you!

If you read my previous post, you know I have been nominated for the Visual Arts section of the Waterloo Region Arts Awards. In order to provide them with materials that backs up my involvement in the Waterloo Region community I proceeded to ask you, my friends, fellow photographers, clients and blog readers, to be a witness to my existence here and what I spent my time doing for the past years.
The results and feedback I received left me more than speechless… Your generosity in kind words almost left me curious to read to the end and find out who these words are about; because it sounded too good to be me. I am most humbled that I was blessed to be of help to some of you and that we are one step closer to the dream of a united artists’ community in our region.
Some of the kind words that stayed with me:
“Along with great energy and excitement for the arts, Stefan brings light to seemingly complex aspects of photography to his students… his friends.” [...] “Everyone is welcome and everyone is a great artist in Stefan’s circle. His passion for photography is contagious, even more so when it comes with constant praise and encouragement to those around him.” [...] “Personally, Stefan has given me many tools to be the photographer that I am. I still have a lot of work to do and lessons to learn and Stefan remains a willing phone call or text message away.”
