This past Easter I visited Roland Desjardins.  He is Jeanine’s grandfather and will be turning 90 this May.  Taking his portrait was a lot of fun and I think he really enjoyed the attention as well.

Can street photography change or make people more aware? This is a question i’ve been asking myself a lot lately. I don’t want my photo’s to be looked at and for others to think it’s a nice photo “thats what landscape photography is for” i want to make people use their imagination and give people more of an understanding of the city they live in, i want to highlight problems and make people more aware of their everyday surroundings but most of all i want to tell a story with photos.

I’ve been thinking of a project that will both tell a story but also make people more aware of issue’s within the city, the problem i have is how do i get local people to notice? It’s a big pond with a lot of fish so it will be challenging but i’m sure rewarding. I’m not 100% sure on…
