Last year we visited the World Press Photo of the Year Exhibit at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

It’s back.

And we’re encouraging you to visit with us again. It’s a photo social to meet others interested in the field. We will follow up with some ‘discussion’ somewhere on Preston St.

Last year Jackson Couse said:

“this is a fantastic event. Not to be missed if you love photography. Heck, not to be missed if you have functioning eyeballs!”

When: Thursday, August 26th, 2010; 6:30pm

Meet at the front doors of the Canadian War Museum, 1 Vimy Place, Ottawa.

This morning I continued work on a long term project and photographed Becky Mason at Meech Lake. Becky is a well known paddler having covered vast kilometres of canoe routes. She teaches ‘Classic Solo Canoeing’ and is also an accomplished artist currently exhibiting at the Cube Gallery with her husband Reid McLachlan.

After the work I captured some candids of Becky in the boat:

Yes, it was a fun morning!

World Press Photo 09

It’s an amazing opprotunity to see some fine work by the best photojournalists in the world. We saw the traveling exhibit in Iceland last summer.

The opening was Wednesday night with speeches and a collection of people in the industry. The show runs from August 6th to 26th at the Canadian War Museum.

Earlier I  had advertised this month’s gallery visit to see the Karsh/Steichen exhibition at the National Gallery. We have changed the Gallery visit so that we can take advantage of this temporary traveling exhibition.

Details of the Gallery Visit

I got an email from Brian Goldschmied last week. Two things he shared:

1. World Press Photo 09 - Canadian War Museum – August 6th-26th
This is a fabulous exhibition highlighting some of the best Press Photography of the year. We saw last year’s traveling exhibition in Iceland. This is a must see!

2. Silly fun

Have a chuckle over this collection of photos of photographers and some silliness at DarkRoastedBlend.com.

Thanks Brian!

Based on the success of July’s gallery visit of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography’s exhibition of Scott McFarland’s large prints we are offering a gallery visit in August. This is an informal social gathering. There is no cost to participate.

Please note: Our gallery visit has changed dates and location to take advantage of a great opportunity. The new details:
