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.

Twenty six teams from Southeastern Ontario partook in Saturday’s 13th annual Dragon Boat Festival at Douglas Fluhrer Park. The overall winner of the festival was the My Arms Hurt from Gatineau, Quebec. At noon the festival paid remembrance to those who have lost, struggling with or have defeated breast cancer during the carnation ceremony, where three teams, the Chestmates, The Dragon Flies and Prior Chest Nuts, whom are entirely crewed by breast cancer survivors, were out on the boats during the ceremony. The winners of the Kingston division was the Water Warriors and the Boys and Girls Club took first place in the B division finals.
