At Salt Spring Elementary School, kites were constructed, decorated and enthusiastically enjoyed on a stellar September afternoon. This marks the launch of the 2012/2013 school-wide theme ‘SKY’.

By request, I’m occasionally writing a short note or sometimes just the photo info

Used a 35mm lens, set at ISO 200 and f/11 with aperture priority mode on the 1D X, a full frame camera.
I prefocused on the kite flyer, set the lens to manual focus, put the camera on the ground, tilting up at the girl and the kites in the sky. Then shot a short burst of a few frames, while changing the tilt angle hoping to capture the girls and kites. f/11 gave me the depth of field that I wanted.

The Grad Class of Twenty Thirteen started the school year with energy and creativity. Students and staff had to travel through the front of a castle to enter Gulf Islands Secondary School, and were warmly greated by the ‘royalty’ of 2013.
Students and staff at this school have a wonderful relationship.Teachers and support staff had similar reactions to the first day surprise and it was as though everyone was part of one big family. Great to see.


This little one seemed trapped inside the “Morningside Organic Bakery Cafe & Bookstore” (isn’t that a mouthful!)
I haven’t been in the store for many years. It has a somewhat scary, but certainly home-grown look. Dare I venture in?
