The 2007 CSP Convention was a huge success. Held at the prestigious Renaissance Toronto Airport Hotel I was granted the opportunity to photograph the event. I snapped hundreds of frames of the many business owners, and had a great time doing so. The staff was exceptional and very willing to please their guests. During one of my down times, I was punching off a few shots in the lobby. One porter and I had developed a rapport. After taking a quick candid shot, I asked if he'd like a few shots that I would send to him via e-mail. He was quite happy to comply.

After we finished, I was approached by the Hostess of the hotels restaurant. The vibrant young lady, coyly expressed an interest in having a few pictures taken for her personal portfolio. How could I possibly not offer my services.

.....oh yeah the Convention

Concentrating on family and photography nowadays I dont drive taxi as often as I once had. But I still enjoy getting in the cab when the opportunity arises. Such were my chances on the evening of Friday, September 21, 2007. Dispatched to a call at the St. Catharines train station, I received four ladies. Thirty -five years ago they had graduated from The St. Josephs School of Nursing, and had travelled here to join about twenty of their friends and fellow graduates for a reunion. During our conversation I had mentioned my passion for photography. They were pleased to hear this and offered me the honour of taking thier group photos.

Thank you ladies for your decades of caring for those who most needed it. I truely hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
