I’m so happy to say my multimedia “A Different Kind of Love” came in 2nd at NPAC’s National Pictures of the Year Competition this weekend in Calgary. I’m grateful I got to be there and meet so many of the people who’s work has inspired me. I come away feeling eager to tell more stories and excited for what’s to come.
I recently borrowed a friend’s Bronica and tried medium-format film for the first time. After a few frames, I painfully realized the multiple exposure lever was on. And this is what happened. Here’s to happy accidents.
Today marks 199 years since the birth of Ukrainian writer and poet, Taras Shevchenko.
Сонце гріє, вітер віє
З поля на долину,
Над водою гне вербою
Червону калину;
На калині одиноке
Гніздечко гойдає, –
А де ж дівся соловейко?
Не питай, не знає.
A multimedia I made last semester was nominated for NPAC’s 2012 National Pictures of the Year competition. To see the video CLICK HERE. I feel so lucky to have found a story like Russ and Shirley’s to share. Spending time with them always reminded me of how life is full of wonderful surprises.
Also nominated is fellow Loyalist student (and roomie!) Patrick Callbeck. To see his video CLICK HERE.
Congrats to all!

BELLEVILLE, Ont. (13/02/2013) - Krishna Daji, 21, came to Canada from Gujrat, India 3 months ago after marrying a Canadian she met through an online dating service. “I’m new here, but now I’m comfortable here because people are so friendly,” she says. She is currently working at a convenience store, but hopes to go back to school once her English improves. She is pictured at H.R.
