3rd Annual Fall Rhapsody Photowalk Followup

After three years of hosting this wonderful, seasonal walk all I can say is wow! It was a fantastic group and I’ve already seen some fantastic images from this years crew.

There were numerous highlights of our walk, but among the fondest were the new folks I met on this walk. Combine this with a few familiar faces and the odd guy recovering from a back injury and you have the perfect recipe for a wonderful morning outdoors with cameras in hand. I’m already looking forward to next years Fall walk.

Whoa!  Before I get ahead of myself…stay tuned for the first ever DHP Winter Photowalk. No details just yet but I’ll post them just as soon as they come together.

So until then, grab your camera and get outside before all the leaves are gone. Go make some image magic!

 

 

Worldwide Photo Walk Followup

Again this year I lead one of the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walks here in Ottawa.  It was a cool damp day but we had a great turnout!  Everyone one was positive and encouraging and the walk went very well.  Here’s our fantastic group from the walk!

We’ve created a flicker group for our walk images.  If you’d like to see some of what was captured on the walk surf on over to our group.  If you’ve never taken part in a photowalk you’re missing a truly enjoyable event. All you need is an enjoyment of photography and a camera of any type to take part.  Keep an eye one our Photowalk page for more upcoming walks.

Last but not least.  Many thanks to all of you who took part and made this years walk such a success.

Worldwide Photo Walk 2011

In just one week we’ll be at it again and having a blast. Scott Kelby’s Annual Worldwide Photo Walk is a great way to get out with others of all levels who share a passion for photography.

The walk I’m leading is all filled up at the moment but there is a waiting list.  Visit the Photo Walk site and do a search for a walk in your area.  There’s no better way to spend a few hours than to take part in one of these walks.

Decision ~ Paulo Mugarura

You know those times when you go to start a simple, small task and it snowballs into something a little larger that you never really imagined?  That’s where I find myself now with my most recent posts.  It all started innocently enough with a post of some work I’d done awhile back.  Then before I knew it I was elbow deep in my digital archives finding all manner of images that I wanted to share.  So, let’s get to it!

Paulo, as he’s known to most of his friends, is one of those people that make you feel at ease moments after meeting them.  His unassuming manner draws you in as his intense yet gracefully passion for people goes beyond engaging your mind and begins to enlist your heart.  He’s a great guy and I wish you all could meet him.  Hmm…maybe you can (more on that later).

Paulo came to me with his music project a new CD that he was putting out.  He was looking for some creative imagery that could be used for the CD’s artwork.  This type of project is always fun and I love sinking my teeth into these sessions with other creatives.  We got to work here in the studio and in short order Paulo’s personality, passion and exuberance were coming through in each capture.  He shared bit’s of his story that gave me a richer understanding of him and his work.  He sang, he danced, he conquered the session.  I think you’ll agree it was a great success.

Remember I mentioned meeting Paulo?  Well you can.  He’s a worship leader at Woodvale Church here in Ottawa.  He’s a fantastic, energetic musician you’re sure to enjoy.  You can catch him most Sunday mornings leading the band and congregation at Woodvale.  You can also find Paulo at his website www.paulomugarura.com, on Twitter, On Facebook and in a Zumba class near you.  Paulo’s new CD “Decision” is available on iTunes
