Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
Michela Sorrentino opened a new show last night at the Pod Contemporary gallery in Ganges. Michela’s work is both fun and detailed. Below is a portion of this piece—a bit closer to what you would see if you were standing in front of the painting:

The hay is cut, dried, bailed and ready to roll into the barn.
Happy Summer 2015
With summer comes holidays and travel. And this summer there’s going to be a lot of it—on road and off—for the Salt Spring Photos team. The focus will continue to be on photos of Salt Spring Island.
But we expect there’ll also be a “heapin’ helpin'” of favourite photos taken while exploring the Gulf Islands, Vancouver Island and, hopefully, beyond. There’ll quite possibly be the odd day or two where we’ll be out of range, off the grid, and out of touch with the digital world. So don’t worry if a day or two go by without a fresh photo on this website. We’ll be back!
***AND for the few hundreds of you who are on the daily email list there’s a change. Your email notice from Salt Spring Photos will now be coming once a week. Yup, you read that right. I highly encourage you to visit saltspringphotos.com once per day to view the latest photo. Perhaps make a bookmark in your internet browser. In the weekly email will be a link that takes you to directly to the last seven issues of Salt Spring Photos. (Want to try it now? Just click here: saltspringphotos.com/blog )

Oh, one more thing. Above is the ‘Salt Spring Photos Mobile Research Vehicle’. It’s a Four Wheel Camper (Fleet model that fits our wee Toyota Tacoma like a glove). And it’s doing its thing here on Mortimer Spit on the Pender Islands. You can find out more about this pop-up camper at the Canada or USA sites.
Lots of food, flowers, farmers, vendors and buyers at this week’s Tuesday Market. June through October it’s a “food-only market that specializes in authentic, local, fresh and seasonal product”.
Testing day for some physicists At Gulf Islands Secondary. This team had a rather unique way of loading their machine (see pile of bricks on the left end). One team was able to toss a large water balloon about 90 meters.
