Because of my involvement with Heather,(1), and the impact it had on me, I recently contacted the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Canada, to volunteer my services as a photographer. Together with the foundation, the Childrens Hospital Of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and the Ottawa General Hospital, I have had the honour and privilege to provide photographic […]

They mentioned that Patrick Carpentier would be on hand with his race car to sign autographs. Patrick is a Nascar driver. They also included a link to YouTube to promote the […]
Rebekah and I had a session today with a very pleasant and popular young man who has Cystic Fibrosis. Not only did he have our photo shoot to contend with, but he also had a video conference appointment and then a filmed "biography" session… all before noon!

Got up early this morning and started driving with no particular destination in mind. I came upon a cemetery and spent some time there. Saw this headstone against the foggy morning and it brought to mind that this death symbol was more colourful and lively than the life around it itself.
A post today that is not about photography at all but is inline with our Help-Portrait project. A few years ago, I discovered an interesting idea whereby I manage a portfolio of micro loans which are spread out around the world by an organization called Kiva. They facilitate interest-free micro loans, using PayPal as a […]
The good folks at Help-Portrait have added two new videos that are to be included in their new web site that is schedules to go live today. These videos will clearly show what the HP movement is about. Enjoy! Help-Portrait from Jean Labelle on Vimeo. Help-Portrait:: What It Is from Jean Labelle on Vimeo.
