Two photo exhibitions worth investigating are currently showing at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa:
Legion Halls “capture a glimpse of the role that Legion Halls play in Canadian communities today.”
Missing Lives “tell the heartbreaking story of the families who lost loved ones during the wars in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.”
I haven’t been but am planning to go next week. Stay tuned… Anyone interested?!
Recently, we shot some portraits for an Ottawa area writer – Ann – who wanted a portrait for press releases, author info and marketing purposes. She asked for a simple natural author portrait. For her that meant a sincere look without big smiles.
We met at our photo studio Ottawa Studio Works – which was perfect for her as she works in central Ottawa.
She enjoyed the session and I had to work to make her stop smiling so much – see the portraits, below. Drawing the desired personality – that’s the fun for me. The technical camera work is only the beginning.
Monday we’re back in the studio run a Custom Photo Class for two people looking for an introduction to studio skills.

Maple sugar? Photography?
All at the same time?!
Yes, yes, it’s true.
We are offering a photo safari to one of the Ottawa Valley’s most established (and delicious) Sugarbushes.
