Heroes and Volunteers

I’ve had a photography project in mind now for many years. I want to photograph people that make a difference in this world through their acts of kindness. It could be in ANY field whatsoever. The project would be called something like Heroes and Volunteers. I already have a few people in mind but I’d like to get ideas from others. Who do you know that really makes a difference, that really helps out, that really deserves some recognition?

Although I’m located in Montreal, so that would be easiest, I do get out of Montreal once in a while so please send their names (and how they help) my way anyhow.

You can comment below or send the information to photography.ca(a t )gmail(d o t)com
Thanks in advance! – Marko

Podcamp Toronto – Kudos to Karma

 
 
 

In an effort to become a better podcaster and to make friends with the podcasting community, I attended PodCamp Toronto 2007 this weekend at the Rogers Communication Centre at Ryerson University.

What a blast. What an amazing community!

The sharing that went on was so unbelievable that at any point during the weekend somebody could have easily busted out a guitar and started singing Kumbaya! One of the biggest things we learned is that giving, giving giving is the key to building the strongest podcasting community possible. When everybody gives – everybody receives. And give people did. Here are just some of the people that helped me this weekend. I apologize in advance if I left anybody out.  Mitch Joel – always an amazing motivator, Julien Smith - great social networking speaker, Chris Penn – who I now refer to as ‘The Sage’, Mark Blevis, Bob Goyetche, Bryan Person, Jay Moohah, Hugh McGuire, Casey McKinnon and Rudy Jahchan, Chris Brogan, Mike Moon, Vergel Evans, Brent Morris, Michael Baily, Mark Juliano, Steve Saylor, Peter O’Connell, Donna Papacosta, Leesa Barnes, Jeff Persch and others that I will add in because I may have inadvertently forgotten them.

Although I am relatively new to podcasting, I’d like to carry on the spirit of giving. So this is an open invitation to share the knowledge that I have. I know a bit about podcasting and I know a lot about photography and a lot about pets. If anyone has any questions about these subjects, it would be my pleasure to help you if I can. Feel free to email me at photography.ca (a t) gmail (dot) com for any photography questions or podcasting questions. Feel free to email me at pets.ca (a t) gmail (dot) com for any pet related questions. If I can help – I will, and I’ll try to answer quickly as well. If I can’t help you, I can probably refer you to someone who can.

Valentine’s day pet photography

Pets.ca is another website that I help run and lately on the bulletin board we have monthly pet photography challenges. This month’s challenge is Pet Valentines and here is one of the 3 photographs that I entered. The point is that there are soooo many pet lovers out there…and almost everyone has a camera so why not take some fun portraits of your pets?

I’ll be doing a photography podcast on pet photography in the near future so stay tuned for some tips! For this photograph I used window light on an overcast day and used bounced fill flash to fill in Ziglet’s (my boy cat’s) fur.
