Our newest course – Sessions Photo Challenge – started last week. We photographed in and around the National Gallery in Central Ottawa. Students were challenged to capture landmarks and landscapes of the city. The enormous spider was a draw for students!

‘Sessions’ provides students a photo challenge per week and allows their photo skills to progress steadily with tips and feedback along the way. While the four sessions offer a complete progression students may join for a single challenge.

On Wednesday evening we will be meeting to investigate the buzz of the city. If you wish to join the challenge – or are curious to hear more – please contact us.

My second section of Creative Fundamentals started last night at Arts Court.

On Saturday we venture to Gatineau Park where we learn about proper exposures, focus tools, motion, composition and observation while surrounded by the vivid hues of the fall colours.

The final Creative Fundamentals section of the year runs October 23, 25, 30 likely hosted at the Museum of Civilization.

Have fun,

Pretty perfect weather was what we had for the Urban Landscapes Workshop this past weekend.

Harry, the instructor.

It was a good group sharing varied experiences. We explored locations in central Ottawa and Hull discovering unknown secrets, rediscovered memories and overlooked landmarks.

Reviewing the ideas of the ‘gray card.’

One student piped up “I’ve never noticed that tall building before!” Another was full of smiles and new knowledge by the end… she had come a long way, photographically, in a short time.

… Helping navigate the camera.

Another student sent me some photos from the start of the course to use on my blog – thanks Chris!

“The one thing to remember…”

Thanks for the fun! We meet again for the critique session this week. There may be an Urban Landscapes course in the spring – stay tuned.

I have been all about Iceland lately. There is life beyond Iceland:

The Urban Landscapes Photo Workshop is hosted this weekend. It’s a fun and challenging photo safari in the beautiful cities of Ottawa and Hull.

I am also working on a magazine feature for Ottawa Magazine – covering local Olympians and their Ottawa Training site. It’ll run next spring.

Some more stock work for a government client is being delivered tomorrow.

So far this year work has been good. I am smiling. While you will always have some good luck, consistent business growth takes sustained hard work. See my Creative Business Seminar for ideas for your creative business.
