Photography is the documentation of life, once that shutter has clicked, the moment has passed and history is made. Some may be familiar with project 365, a simple concept, take a photograph everyday for 365 days. This blog is an extension of the project; the goal is to keep photographing every day, who knows how long? It is an excellent archive to look back on, see how things change. Change can be subtle, such as different coloured flowers being planted each year to a changing landscape with buildings being demolished and new ones built. This blog archives life’s diversity and my encounters.

Liberal Party Platform

When I sourced out the party platforms linked above, the Green Party’s site said there was an error. The Conservative and the NDP site both call their platforms something else but I linked the site that I thought was the party’s “platform.” All of the links take you to their website, so if I’m wrong you can surf around. This is just a site to get everyone thinking!!!!!


If something is wrong please comment or send an email to cjphotographics@hotmail.com

Thank you,

Present Becomes the Past

Queen's University Frosh Week



Getting messy, having fun and lifetime of memories, the things that make up the first week of school or more known as Frosh Week. Queen’s University has a distinct Frosh Week full of traditions from the ArtSci Frosh Olympics to the Engineer’s Grease Pole. All of these events provide for an amazing week of photography with so much energy. As Photo Editor of the Queen’s Journal and Head Photographer for the Queen’s Yearbook, now Yearbook and Design Services, it means a very busy time of the year. Working for both organizations is a little tricky this past week, I will admit but it’s good to have so much coverage. Once the week has past, then it becomes history, memories and photographs are what remain to leave a legacy. Hopefully the photos spark emotions bring back memories but what I have learned more recently is the importance of phot

os in the long run. It is through these photos one can see life as it was, HISTORY!!!
