Tune in this evening or set your VCR’s at 8P.M ET on CBC News Network as they will be re-broadcasting 65_RedRoses. 65_RedRoses is a Canadian documentary that takes an unflinching look into the life of Eva Markvoort as she battles a fatal genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). At 23, Eva needs a double lung […]
A very special THANK YOU to everyone who came out tonight for the Ottawa Senators 65 Roses Gala to help breathe life into the future for young Canadians battling cystic fibrosis! A memorable evening of inspiration, fine dining and great music provided by the JW Jones Blues Band was had by all. The event, which […]
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 […]
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!

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.
Just a note to thank the Help-Portrait founders for featuring Heather on the front page of their new website. This is special as it falls on the 1 month mark of Heathers passing. Thanks Kyle Chowning, Jeremy Cowart, Annie Downs!!!

Jeremy Cowart, another photographer I look up to, has an awesome idea that I would very much like to initiate here in Ottawa. This video and the one on the Facebook link below, will clearly outline how this work and why we should jump on board. So grab a coffee, sit back for a few […]
