The online sessions since March have been so well-attended that the Program Committee is proposing that we meet during the summer. Here are the dates and the themes for those gatherings:
· Tue, July 14: "Spring"
· Tue, Aug 4: "Summer" .
For both evenings, we'll be looking to members for up to 5 images on these themes. Instructions on submitting them will come later.
And looking ahead to our season opener in September, we propose a theme that's a little different from the usual "What I did This Summer". The theme is "Home" and we're adapting a Canadian Geographic magazine contest for this:
In this uncertain time of social and physical distancing amid a global pandemic, home has become even more important. It’s not just where we spend most of our time; it’s where we find safety, balance, creativity and, hopefully, joy. We’re looking for a series of photographs that capture your personal concept of home, be it the house you grew up in, a place you visit when you need to rest and recharge, a landmark that makes your community unique, or a person who represents comfort, hope and identity.
For our September meeting, you'll have up to 5 minutes to share your vision of "home".
And, after wide consultations on behalf of the Evaluation Committee, we are announcing the following Evaluation Themes for 2020-21:
We wish you Happy Summer Shooting!

Through her photography, Leah Denbok's mission is to help humanize the homeless and draw attention to their plight.
Leah has been taking photographs since she bought herself a used Canon EOS Rebel T2i from a local hockshop in the summer of 2012. Inspired by the work of British photographer Lee Jeffries, she has been concentrating on high-contrast portraiture. One of her photographs was awarded first place in the Blue Mountain Foundation of the Arts Juried Art Show. She was recently the subject of a mini-documenary that aired on CBC’s ‘The National’ about her photography and stories of people experiencing homelessness. Leah is thankful for the mentorship of National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore. When Leah was only 14 Joel wrote of her that, “She is well on her way to becoming not just a good photographer, but a great photographer. And I’m not kidding. The veteran Toronto photographer, Mike Jordan, wrote of Leah that she is an “emerging superstar”, while well known Hamilton-based street photographer, Alex Zafer, calls her a “mega talent.”
