Pictured is Crooked Lake Resort andmy friends in Sherbrooke.Marc & Diane Bailey.
Well it has been a busy summer right from June. I flew to Montreal and rented a car to drive 2 hours out to
spend a couple of days with new friends Marc and Diane Bailey in Sherbrooke.Thanks so much for
your lovely hospitality and knowledge.Hope your injuries
are healing quickly!!
I then drove to Hudson,just outside Montreal, to spend the next few days studying
with 2 of my idols in Canadian photography Louise and Joseph
Simone.Our days were spent learning so much about lighting,
posing and the physiognomy of the body.They are true masters
and I was honoured to have had this opportunity to learn from
them. When I returned I put into practice some of what I learned.
I will be adding more and more each month as there is so much to think about.
After the course was over I then met an old friend I had not seen for
26 years! Rene flew up from Newark to Montreal where we ate, drank,
talked and shopped for three days.It was marvelous..but we plan not to
make it so long till we meet again.
In July I joined many others enjoying a bit of a holiday.I was at a reunion in
North Vancouver and drove around the island visiting & staying with friends including Wayne
Kaulbach and Michelle Flemming. I was asked to photograph some friends new resort at
Crooked Lake (outside of 100 Milehouse) what a beautiful location but get ready for the dusty
road there.Well worth it though!
Now for August, another enjoyable month to come!!
