Here Comes the Sun!

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Last week I went on a field trip to Stone Mills, Ontario to photograph the First Light Solar Farm. Stone Mills is just outside of Napanee which according to our tour guide, gets more annual sun than Miami, although, not obvious the day I was there. This impressive operation, built by SkyPower and SunEdison, is the first of its kind in Canada. I had no idea how humongous it would be. The solar farm covers 90 acres of land which is equivalent to 50 football fields and generates enough juice for about 1000 homes. Over the next 20 years this zero-emission system is estimated to prevent more than 152,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, which is like taking more than 35,000 cars off the road! Tomorrow is Earth Day. Happy Earth Day everyone!

Look! Big!

A little while back I had the pleasure of covering CapaciTea, a wonderful charity event for Healthy Kids International. CapaciTea was created to inspire young women and offer the opportunity to participate in a number of once-in-a-lifetime mentorship experiences graciously donated by a variety of Canada’s most influential women and their organizations. The event was hosted by MTV’s Jessi Cruickshank and was catered by the Windsor Arms Hotel.

Dev’s First Birthday Party

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Dev’s first birthday party was an event to remember. I had the pleasure of joining Dev and his family and friends at the Dreams Convention Centre for an evening full of dancing, juggling, and jubilation. The party had a caterpillar theme with the most fantastic caterpillar cake I have ever seen. There were also giant caterpillar balloon creations hanging from the ceiling.

Brintha’s Bridal Shower

Thursday, June 11, 2009

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing the Bridal Shower for Brintha. This cocktail party style bridal shower was put on by her lovely bridesmaids. It was truly an over-the-top event complete with a watermelon carved into a swan, a piñata, a cake fit for the wedding itself, traditional Sri Lankan goodies, and several hilarious games. Everyone had a great time, especially Brintha’s Mom and Mother-in-Law-to-be! I guess this is a good sign.
