IN FOCUS

I managed to get a few images of favourite personality Gordon Pinsent during his recent book launch at Winnipeg's McNally-Robinson Booksellers. He was interviewed by Thin Air's Charlene Diehl and I, along with the capacity audience, found his stories most interesting.

I love to hear ‘uplifting stories’ since our daily news are so full of ‘negative ones’. This is one of them.

A few months ago, I was approached by Chawana Champagne, a second year student at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario. She was producing a powerpoint presentation for ‘new Canadian citizens’ to watch while waiting to be sworn into the Canadian family. She requested my assistance and hoped that I would provide some images to include in her powerpoint presentation. "Mohawk College hosts this event each year”, she said, “and as we have many International students, it’s our way to give back to the community". Being a passionate Canadian myself, I accepted her challenge with great pleasure.
