Here I am, sitting at my favourite cafe, the SMILE TIGER COFFEE ROASTERS, in Kitchener (see map), contemplating the secrets of light and colour while editing some images, when the notion of how fragile the things we take for granted really are. The other day I found out how one of my coworkers’ home burned down. It didn’t even take a whole day for all the belongings their family worked for to be gone from the face of the earth for good. It makes one think, you know. As far as I know, the cause of the fire isn’t even figure out as of yet; the only thing they know for sure is that in the evenings they can’t go back home to sleep, they have to hope that their credit cards can support them for long enough that they need not end up on the street …and when I say they, I mean my coworker and the rest of the 15 members of her family. I’ll let you read on about their story here.
What I do want to let you know is that in an attempt to make myself helpful to them, I would like to raise some funds. So until the end of October, any one of you readers can book a sort-of-free family portraits session with me. How does it work? Well I won’t charge you anything for my work, as long as you make a donation of $100 or more to their cause through me.
Let’s make a difference and have some fun creating some beautiful photography while at it. Of course you can also DONATE without a portrait session, directly HERE.
