Light Sensitive – you are invited
Less than a year ago, I was part of a photo exhibition for the first time. From today until the 12th of May, I will part of my second exhibition - this time with only one image.
Light Sensitive is "a student exhibit of photographic excellence", as stated on the poster, which you can see below. As I've mentioned before, my image was selected for the advertising poster and flyer, and I must say it tickles my ego to see my image hanging all over town.
The artist reception is tomorrow, Friday May 7th, from 6-9 pm at the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria on 1001 Douglas Street (corner of Douglas and Broughton), and I do hope you will be able to come take a look.

Winning photo in Boulevard magazine
Today I came across the May/June issue of Boulevard magazine, a free magazine here in Victoria. Each year, Boulevard holds a contest - Photo By - and selects a few winning photos. This year, I had one of the six winning photos. It's an old photo, taken in 2008 during sheep round-ups in Iceland.
A reporter from the magazine did a phone interview with me, so now I have a full-page tearsheet to show. It should be noted that I didn't take the photo of myself (that's the small black-and-white one, in case you were wondering); it was taken by my classmate Yulia Olshanova.
The Super-Sheep is definitely one of my favorites.
So, if you want, you can grab a copy somewhere in Victoria. Or read the scanned version right here.

Oh, and by the way, there are a few facts which the reporter didn't get right. For instance, I never said that Iceland had declared bankruptcy, in fact I'm pretty sure I told him it had not gone bankrupt. And we didn't decide to come to Victoria after the banks at home collapsed, but before they did - we decided to stick to our plan regardless. But I guess facts must never get in the way of a good story, so I guess I won't bitch and moan about this ever again.
