Too Long

When I started this blog, a friend said to me that the problem with blogs is that you have to update them on a regular basis. He's right, 1 1/2 months is just too long. I have no excuse but extreme laziness! Lots of things have happened since I last blogged. I've finished my work for Loblaws and they've asked me to work for them again in the fall and throughout next year. I'm thrilled because I really like the team I'm working with. My photography has also improved tremendously. I also picked up a new client: Visa Canada. I just delivered a CD of the work I did for them on Monday. Hope they like it! The big news is that the Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development, the body responsible for distributing the leprosy drug free of charge around the world have asked me to take more photos in Brazil and Africa along the lines of the photos I took in India. Apparently, the Novartis Foundation is extending their agreement with the WHO for another 10 years to supply drugs free of charge to leprosy patients worldwide. They want to produce a book commemorating this event. I'm really excited and welcome the challenge and opportunity of showing the leprosy elimination programs in a more positive way. I now really feel that my photography is well and truly kick started. It's only taken 3 years! Ha!
