Elder Agnes Hardy has been wanting portraits for awhile now and we finally got a chance yesterday. Her regalia is gorgeous and we had a lot of fun. We took advantage of the cloud cover which provided some really great soft light.
We had the pleasure of covering an Elder's conference held in Thunder Bay. We were also charged with doing individual portraits – all of which will be used for a poster series we're designing for the Ontario Power Authority through Energy Efficiency and Conservation Measures for Aboriginal Communities.
Seventeen Elders from across Ontario met to discuss energy conservation and how to instill traditional values back into their respective communities. It was an honour meeting each of them.
