The winner of the local photography session for Project Love has been announced! Click here to see the blog post announcing the winner!

****Entries for Project Love have been extended (see below) due to an event to be held on July 23rd promoting Project Love. Please click here to view the blog posting about this event, and to see details of who will be helping me to judge the Project Love entries!****

Project Love is officially launched! This project was inspired by the love that I witnessed between Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi in their wedding video.

Part of the dream is to travel to L.A. to photograph Ellen and Portia for their upcoming wedding anniversary on August 16th. (If you are on twitter, please send an @ message to theellenshow to let them know about this project! twitter.com/theellenshow)

Noah, Rebecca and I are fans of both The Ellen Show and Portia’s new show, ‘Better Off Ted’. Noah is especially enthusiastic, and created a wonderful poster for Project Love, which you can see in the following youtube video:

The local dream is to celebrate Love in Toronto by holding a contest in which the winner will have a complimentary photography session with me.

Here’s how to enter: email me a jpg photograph of who you love and why you would love to win the photography session. See below for further details/requirements*. If I can get Ellen’s attention, perhaps she will help with the judging! Otherwise I will be announcing local judges soon.

So, whether you are a family:

First Softball Game of the Year

Filed under: Animals,Children,Life,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 3:11 pm

It was the first softball game of the year this past week, so off we went to the local park.

(See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)

Caught this shot of Rebecca’s funky shoes and bag before we left the house, shot with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens:

Captured some spring tulips, while they’re still around, on the way to the game, shot with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens:

Once we arrived at the game I switched to the Canon 70–200 f2.8L IS lens for the increase focal length, Noah waits for his turn at bat:

While Noah was busy playing softball, Rebecca played with the younger brother of one of Noah’s friends, they were playing ‘catch’:
