Capturing Exceptional Images
With Photography That Rocks
From plastic Instamatics through SLR’s, to today’s digital cameras I have grown my skill to “see”, through the lens what conveys a good story. With beautiful light and an incredible composition, this is when the magic starts. Sometimes getting the right shot means getting your feet wet or crawling on your hands and knees but that’s what I am wiling to do to take my photography to the highest level.

Giving a Hand
Early in February 2021 my daughter invited me to test some recipes for an upcoming cookbook project for the Quadra Island Children’s Centre. A Taste of Quadra Island: Island Cookery III was going to be the third fundraising cookbook for the Quadra Children’s Centre. Recipe testing led to suggestions of taking some photographs of cooked dishes. Then it was doing feature photography and curating and editing of all submitted photographs. By mid November 2021, with the help of 183 volunteers, the final edit of A Taste of Life on Quadra Island: Island Cookery III was at Friesens for printing. With a lot of nail biting we waited for the printed books to run the gauntlet of supply chain issues and trucking delays to make it to Quadra Island just before Christmas. Orders for Christmas, much to everyone’s relief, were fulfilled. Distribution of the book for sales was initiated locally, eventually spreading to Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.
For me it was a whirlwind of photography, editing, changes, more changes and more editing. In the end it all came together to become this beautiful cookbook full of delicious recipes, appetizing photography and anecdotes of Island life and Island folks.
It was great experience to work on this project and I learned so much. The people were dedicated and hard working and I was proud to be part of the team.
Check out the Island Cookery III website for more details about the book and how to purchase it. Plus there are recipes and a blog to have you craving the food you will make from this cookbook.
Thanks so much for supporting the Quadra Children's Centre
