Week Seven and Eight...

wow, it's been forever since i've posted. I've been meaning to put the rest of the work i did at the times but i keep forgetting so here it is, finally :)

So the last couple weeks i worked on a few things... I did a few stories that I didn't take photos for as they were advancer stories, but i did do a few photo ops in there as well. :)


On August 22, i went to Conestoga as they announced the upcoming practitioner-led clinic that will be built and operated on school grounds. Here's the photo for it and the link to the story.

During those weeks, i also went to a meeting at Hillborn Pottery where the owners showed members affiliated with the Cambridge Self Help Food Bank the pieces that would be donated at the 25th anniversary dinner for the guests who came.


A couple days later, i went to the Calvary church to take photos of the backpacks and stuff that were distributed for children in need from the community.




In my last week, I got to meet the owner of Challenger Motor Freight, Dan Einwechter, and take a photo of him for an accompanying story that someone else submitted. Dan was going to participate in the Ride with Lance event, where he got to bike with Lance Armstrong so i took a photo of him in his gear, with his bike and a truck in the background...i was about to take the photo before i discovered i had no memory card! Dan made some phone calls to delay his next plans, before taking me back to work to get my card and then back to do the photo. He even took me for a ride around the yard in one of the brand new trucks. It was amazing! 




On another day, i had three events to attend. First I went to the Cambridge Self Help Food Bank to do an interview and photo of a boy named Cameron who collected pennies and small change so he could eventually buy shoes for kids who need them most. Then i went to A&W for a fundraiser event, followed by the Preston Market to take a photo there as well.









One of my last photo events was up off of St.Andrew's taking a photo of a community "pool olympics" my photo ended up on front page of one of last week's papers :)
