Tallulah's "Only Happens Once A Year' Photo Promo




It’s amazing how quickly time flies by. As I prepare for my annual mini portrait promotion , I think of the days, weeks, and months that have come and gone in the past year and the ways in which we have all grown and changed. For me, my last trip to Colombia, learning about those who live along the Amazon and their fight to preserve their ancestral lands, stands out as a singular experience. I’m glad to have the pictures to look back on and remember those days. For those with families, it seems there’s a flood of memories every day. Tiny babies quickly become toddlers, and before you know it, teenagers.

I want you to have an opportunity to look back on your memories too. That’s why I’m once again offering clients, friends, and family my annual mini portrait promotion. Document these fleeting moments with family portraits. You have a beautiful piece of photographic art to enjoy today and your children will treasure the images as a piece of family history when they are adults. If it’s been a while since you’ve had a professional portrait done for business or publicity purposes, this mini-shoot can also be a great opportunity to update your professional image for online profiles and social media, or a fun way to celebrate the holiday season in pictures.

INSIDE OUT A GLOBAL ART PROJECT NO 25661



INSIDE OUT A GLOBAL ART PROJECT

The other day I decided to participate in the art project "INSIDE OUT"
I had to take a self portrait, which I had not done for a while, upload it and see if was selected by the committee.

I was informed today that I am No 25661 in this project. I will now receive a large poster of my self portrait which I then can paste it somewhere for the world to see.





Congratulations JR – The 2011 TED Prize Winner

JR's Wish

"I wish for you to stand up for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we'll turn the world...INSIDE OUT."

The Plan

Create a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone will be challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.

Go to: insideoutproject.net to participate

About the Winner

JR’s career as a photographer began when he found a camera in the Paris subway. In his first major project, in 2001 and 2002, JR toured and photographed street art around Europe, tracking the people who communicate their messages to the world on walls. His first large-format postings began appearing on walls in Paris and Rome in 2003. His first book, Carnet de rue par JR, about street artists, appeared in 2005.

About the TED Prize

The TED Prize is designed to leverage the TED community’s exceptional array of talent and resources. It is awarded annually to an exceptional individual who receives $100,000 and, much more important, “One Wish to Change the World.” After several months of preparation, s/he unveils his/her wish at an award ceremony held during the TED Conference. These wishes have led to collaborative initiatives with far-reaching impact.

We work closely with the TED community, off- and online, to obtain pledges of support for the TED Prize winners. These pledges can take the form of business services, hardware and software, publicity, infrastructure, advice, connections, feet on the ground and more. This is in addition to the funding and support from the Sapling Foundation and TED staff.

About TED

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The TED Conference, held annually in the spring, is the heart of TED. More than a thousand people now attend, the event sells out a year in advance, and the content has expanded to include science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world. Over four days, 50 speakers each take an 18-minute slot, and there are many shorter pieces of content, including music, performance and comedy. There are no breakout groups. Everyone shares the same experience. It shouldn’t work, but it does. It works because all of knowledge is connected. Every so often it makes sense to emerge from the trenches we dig for a living, and ascend to a 30,000-foot view, where we see, to our astonishment, an intricately interconnected whole

PORTRAIT FOR IMPACT MAGAZINE



I was commissioned by Impact Magazine to take a portrait of Doreen Hill for the business profile section of the magazine. I made a quick studio, lights, white seamless background in Doreen's office, and we did the shoot before her next client arrived. She was great to work with and we had lots of photos to choose from.

ITS FAMILY PORTRAIT TIME


































Its amazing how quickly time flies by, days, weeks, months. Often when we have a family we chronicle time by the growth of our children, their changes, one year she is only wearing dresses, next year only jeans will do. It is important to document these moments with a family portrait. Tiny babies very quickly become toddlers, and before you know it teenagers.

Portraits are a marker of time, and it is something that your children will treasure when they are adults, and that’s why it is important for mothers and fathers to be in the photos too.

So take a moment and remember the last time you all had your portrait taken together. It is a bit of effort to organize, but it is well worth the effort.

Contact Tallulah to discuss your family portrait.

ODORI IN VANCOUVER




Vancouver is always full of surprises, as one of my subjects for the Vancouver Portrait Project said " In Vancouver you just need a bus ticket to see so many cultures, no plane ticket needed."

While on location for a shoot yesterday I came across celebrations hosted by the Buddhist temple at Jackson and Powell. The celebration is called "O Bon", which is a traditional Japanese summer festival where ancestors are honoured and remembered. This festival has lots of Japanese dancing (Odori).

DOLL SERIES/MERCEDES



I have been longing to add to my doll series for the last while. Today I decided to simplify the process and photograph on digital rather than film on my 4x5 view camera. These dolls are not meant to be scary or invoke images of demented dolls from horror films. My thinking is that at one time these dolls were loved and cherished and yet they often end up looking a bit the worse for wear and lying around in buckets of discarded toys. I approach these portraits as I would a person, trying to find some truth.

Portrait of Ann Mortifee



Last summer I was hired to take portraits of Ann Mortifee, Canadian singer and songwriter. She needed an author photograph for her book "In Love with the Mystery". We were listening to her hauntingly beautiful CD when this portrait was take. It was one of those times when the energy in the air was profound.
