The Charities

The organizations listed below have all been selected for the amazing work which they do and in some cases their international reach. Each of them has made an enormous difference in individual lives as well as for families. If you're not familiar with these organizations, feel free to click on the links provided to check them out and learn more, and to see if there is a particular project that resonates with you. All of them permit you to make a simple undesignated donation if you prefer. For each organization, I have provided links to both the Canadian and U.S. website. You will want to choose the one for which you qualify to receive a tax deductible receipt. If you're not from either of these countries, Samaritan's Purse offers options for a number of other countries as well. When you click on the Samaritan's Purse International link, their website should auto detect the country you're browsing from and give you options to choose from. If not, use their drop down menu "WHO WE ARE" at the top of the page and choose Worldwide Offices to see a list of available options.

Ever heard the old adage - the camera doesn’t lie…  Well here’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
To Be or Not to Be....some thoughts on choosing b&w or colour.  Starting out as a landscape photographer I worked exclusively with colour film. I had played around a bit with black and white previously, learning the basics of developing and printing for myself. But ironically, it was while taking a course in Dye Transfer colour printing at the University of Calgary, that my passion for b&w was awakened.
