“WOW,” popped in my head as I stood in the quiet, empty studio late Saturday night. Saturday was the finale of a very fun photo contest and campaign<\/a> to raise awareness and $dollars for the Ottawa Food Bank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a9 Peter Simpson's entry into the Photo Contest<\/p><\/div>\n

On Saturday we opened the doors to celebrate the photo efforts of Ottawa’s media, celebrity elite, as well as, the general public. We challenged them to photograph “What I love about Ottawa\/Gatineau” and they rose to the test!<\/p>\n

Many people flowed through the studio doors including:
\n\u2022 Mayor Jim Watson
\n\u2022 Ottawa Citizen’s Peter Simpson
\n\u2022 CBC’s Alan Neal
\n\u2022 Ottawa Magazine’s Sarah Brown and Jane Corbett
\n\u2022 Public contest winner, Christophe Ledent
\n… and many, many more.<\/p>\n

The photos were auctioned and should now be on their way to beautifying the new admirer’s walls.<\/p>\n

Bidding started early – the first person showed up before we were open (I was shovelling the front step with our young son perched on my hip!) and talked her way into an early bid because she REALLY wanted a chance to purchase Sandy Sharkey’s crows<\/a> and this was the only time she could make it. And it continued all day.<\/p>\n
