Hey everyone! I’m headed off to Uganda once again with Raising The Village. I went to Uganda with them last year in March. This year, I’ll be spending Thanksgiving away from family for the first time in my life. I’m a bit sad however I think I will find myself more thankful than ever. Goes without saying that emails and all that jazz will most likely have to wait until I get back.
See ya!

Hey everyone,
A bunch of my images from the Portraits On Black series I shot when I was in Uganda will be on exhibit at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto on May 10th for Raising The Village. Attendees will have an exclusive opportunity to interact with RTV’s work and see how your money and support is being put to use. Hope to see you there! :)

For those who don’t already know, I have a charitable affiliation with Raising The Village. I believe so much in what they are doing and how they are making real, lasting changes in people’s lives that I flew all the way to Uganda to see for myself and to document the journey at the beginning of this year.

Thank you for everyone who voted! I can’t believe how some of the images really gained momentum with the votes at the end. Alas, #5 won with a whopping 46 votes. For those are are slightly disappointed that their pick didn’t win, no worries. There will be future opportunities to get your hands on it with the money, of course, going to an amazing cause.

It was in 2005 that I made a trip for 3-4 weeks to a tiny little country called Malawi in Africa. When returning back to Canada, I knew I’d be making my way back there, someday. Although there have been several opportunities that have come up since then (through Gift of Hope and World Vision, etc.), things just never panned out mainly due to scheduling. Though disappointed each time, I held on to my belief that “what must be shall be” (good ol’ Shakespeare) or as good ol’ scripture says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” I knew that when the time was right for me to go, a way would be made and finally 6 years since my feet landed on that continent, I am heading back.
