Some of you may know that while trying to work on my next stop-motion video I have been gathering more part-time jobs here & there. I have the pleasure to now work for Snapd Kingston taking pictures of events around the city for the paper. I've met some amazing, funny, kind and wonderful people on my travels!So far I have met the wonderful reps of the Sleeman Cross-Canada Railside Tour and partied all over Kingston at concerts & art festivals.
BUT the event I am most excited about was the one I did the end of last month. I had the pleasure of covering the Limestone Genre Expo; hosted by the amazing Liz Strange. Canadian authors, artists, photographers & publishers came for a weekend of workshops, seminar panels, book signing & collection selling!
I had such a marvelous time getting to know and photograph everyone! I spent the afternoon talking about writing styles, story ideas, politics, weather, vampires, romance & everything in or far between! These author's write about Canadian topics, recipes, landscapes & characters.
I got the pleasure to meet authors such as Ira Nayman, Jen Frankel, Linda Wiken, Vicki Delany, Brian Lindsay (and of course Liz Strange) just to name a few! What wonderful talent people Canada has! I also spent the better part of my pay cheque on books... but that's not the point! I wish I could've bought one book from everyone! Maybe next year... None the less I did walk away with a giant arm full of books that I will be happily reading all through the Winter (since I don't go out in that weather.)I would HIGHLY recommend anyone with a love of reading, writing or anything artistic to come next year to the Expo! You can follow their Facebook page here Limestone Genre Expo.
Keep checking my Blog for more posts for more news - as always thanks for the love & support everyone! Clues on my next video are SOON to come!
You have to come and cover me at the United Way!!
