Vacation!!!!

Vacation!!
To finance my photography project I work as a photographic retoucher, worked a lot this year and now, vacation time!!

love Christmas, love holidays, love to start a new year.
and thanks to Ikea for my christmas tree

Before starting  a new year I always do a reflexion.
2009 was an important year in my presonal life: engagement, new apartment (the perfect one),  losing two of my old cats (choosing to euthanized your cats is such a hard and painful decision)  2 new baby cats, working, loving Max, starting acupuncture treatment (miraculous)..

Where is the photography in 2009?  Nowhere! I can't believe I did not do any photoshoots this year.  But I worked on  photoshoots to come: research, collecting, finding, buying accessories.

So, here are the plan so far for 2010.

Obsessed in wonderland part 2

few other projects:
 Polka dot
Button necklaces

 building my beaconhill greenleaf dollhouse.

and finally buying canon 5D markII camera!!!!!!!!!



Happy new year!!!

SNAP! 2009, silent auction- 4 of my photos are selected!






SNAP! is the AIDS Committee of Toronto’s annual photographic fundraiser featuring a live auction of curated art, a silent auction, and photo competition.

I've submited some of my photos to the SNAP! competition , they received 400 photos submission, they chose 120 and 4 of my photos are selected to be in the silent auction!

Its an amazing event and opportunity for me to show my work and help at the same time. I am really glad to be a part of it.


*****************

SNAP! est un comité de Toronto qui organise une levée de fond annuelle photographique pour le HIV qui comprend un encan silencieux, encan régulier et une compétition photographique, c'est un évènement unique qui donne de la visibilité aux photographes tout en amassant des fonds.

Cette année, 400 photos leur ont été soumises, 120 retenues pour l'encan silencieux, j'ai soumis quelques unes de mes photos et 4 ont été sélectionnées pour faire partie de l'encan silencieux.

C'est un évènement génial, une opportunité incroyable pour moi et une façon très agréable de pouvoir aider également.
