As for photography related news, we have some of our fine art work on display, and another Radio Interview airing tonight.
The artwork is a selection of framed prints from the Centretown Village Series, currently on display at Starbucks on Elgin. The series was first shown at Venus Envy this spring and is a collection documenting small changes in the landscape of downtown Ottawa from various perspectives, over several years. This small part of centretown is unofficially the LGBT village of Ottawa, and is also a vibrant community in many other ways.
They will be up throughout the month of December, with framed prints @$125, unframed prints for $50, and 5x7 prints at a special price of $10. After being invited to display my work at Starbucks on Elgin and in the Glebe over the last few years, it was great to be invited to show over the Holidays again in such a cozy spot.
Tonight have a listen to Love and Lipstick with Sue McGarvie on EZRock Ottawa (online or at 99.7), tonight's show (8-midnight) is all about less stress through the season. She came to me to talk about looking good in front of the cameras in all of your holiday photos, so you can relax and feel like your usual great self instead of tensing up when you see a camera pointed your way.
In our segment I talked about 3 main points; feeling comfortable with yourself (your expressions and angles); Posture (long and lifted); Positioning in relation to the camera (never square with it, and keep that posture). Keeping these in mind, it's so much easier for that wonderful personality to come out in all of those photos with family and friends.
Check back soon, the interview will be posted right here for you to have a listen!
