WE INVITED OUR PATREON PATRONS to participate in a creative conversation through images. photoED Magazine commissioned an original poem by Tennille Campbell a Dene/Métis author and photographer from English River First Nation, Saskatchewan. Our contributors responded to Tennille's words with an image of their own. The following is a presentation of where our contributors took this story. HENRY VANDERSPEK, A rainbow in the spray created by our tour boat in Western Brook Pond, Newfoundland. THIS SUMMER,WE TRAVELLED THIS SUMMER, we travelled through prairie fields and under prairie skies th rough the badlands and through the foothills through mountains peaks and valleys th rough an old growth forest and by the charred remains of ancient woods in transition... JOHN HEALEY, “Roots,” 2023. Attachment, support, nourishment. SHELLY PRIEST, This poem rests deep in my heart. I can visualize those that lived here before me. Though lives have changed, the land still beckons us to explore and discover for ourselves. MICHELINE GODBOUT, “Peeking Through Mist,” taken at the Hendrie Valley Sanctuary, on Anishinaabe land. DAVID BRANDY, "When I stood in this location at Salt Spring Island I felt the majesty of the land rising out of the surrounding ocean. But I also felt the irony of the colonial trope of a numbered picnic table and manicured lawn in this exquisite setting." KEN UDLE, "The life source that is Turtle Island. Mountains, valleys, and pathways, a witness to history and an endurance towards our future." TRACEY HALLADAY, "This house in Southern Alberta brought to my mind questions about the people who settled here and what they may have experienced here." PATRICIA PARSONS, "The plaque at this gravesite in Dettah, NWT, simply reads a name, dates, and “Proud Father.” I was touched that a chair had been placed at this site to sit beside a loved one." CB CAMPBELL, "Within minutes the sky went from clear to smoke-cloud-filled. Fire is a harsh reminder that our mistreatment of the Earth has dire consequences for all of us." RAMO/HCKYGRLPHOTO, “and we arrived to the stairs of the cathedral and the pilgrimage suddenly made a higher sense” AS WE DROVE I named out loud the lands who we were guests on who had lived here continued to live here the cree and the dene the metis, dakota and the blackfoot telling stories of friends who lived nearby cousins who had travelled through here before... LORI RYERSON, “Energy Savings.” Out of the acres and acres of available land in the Owens Valley in California, why was it necessary to run a power line THROUGH this Native American burial ground? COLLIN J. ÖRTHNER, "I think of the many eyes that have witnessed the same scene over thousands of years past. How were their thoughts and ideas of these magnificent peaks different than mine?" DAVID J. KENNY "…and how we continue on. Schoolchildren respond to what they learn about shelter and those who came before them." GERALD WOLFE, “Howe Sound Blues.” MANDY KLEIN, "A regional Ontario site that has so far been left in its prairie-like state." CASEY HAUGHLAND, "In Newfoundland, the ocean bursts against the rocky shores. Uninhabited and untouched by human hands." ...DAY TURNED TO NIGHT the names of our lands and our kin continued on the stoney and the tsuutina the shuswap and the tkemlups the squamish to the hesquiath se as of prairies fields turned to chilly mountains tops fading into low valleys of fruit and fishing fa lling into pacific beachside and white tipped waters... MARK WALTON, “Migration,” from the Complicity series. This image was taken along Hwy 16 in Manitoba. MELISSA KRISTENSEN SMITH, "We are nothing without the land. We live on it, we live off of it. Our time can be short upon it. Why do we not make more effort to preserve it for others?" FRANK MYERS, "A cutover forest in Northwestern Ontario speaks of what settler culture and its rampant consumerism has cost the land." LORETTA MEYER, “As above. So below.” ...THIS LAND WAS REMEMBERED spoken out into the wind an acknowledgement of who had been here and how we continue on CHRIS ALIC, "This poem made me think of the land before humans eroded it and built over it."

“LET’S PLAY” is what I always say at the beginning of every photo shoot, even if I am the only one in the room. For me, it’s a reminder. As photographers, we are often bogged down by the seriousness of our industry, the highly competitive, egocentric, solitary reality of running a business. We often forget why we got into the game in the first place. Photography is a perfect marriage of science and art. A medium all on its own, there is really nothing like it. Training your brain to see differently and solve visual challenges, learning the rules so that you can break them, is all part of the experience. As a teenager, there was always a camera hanging around my neck. My high school didn’t have a photography class, but there was a secret darkroom where I learned film development and printmaking. I learned through under- and over-exposed disappointing images. At the time, someone told me that film was the cheapest thing in photography, but it was too expensive for me. I had to get better and make each frame count. I wanted to learn more and pursued photography in my post-secondary education. The science of photography totally blew my mind. I was in love again! I had never been so dedicated or worked so hard at anything in my life. Ideas and inspiration were flowing out of me! I was indestructible. The one thing that I really didn’t learn at college was that I had to know how to run a business. This got me into some uncomfortable situations with my first few jobs in photography and it made me not love it anymore. There was a period of about three or more years that I didn’t even touch my camera. I lost the magic and forgot what it was that made me love it in the first place. I forgot how to play. I spent years working in a completely different industry that paid my bills. I chose to pick up my camera only for enjoyment. A personal, private, secret hobby, with results that never saw the light of day. Then something changed. I began to have ideas again. These ideas were unconventional and against everything I had learned formally. I began by cutting up my prints to create new work. Going back into the archives and reinventing images I had taken years ago. Manipulating light, exploring abstraction, celebrating colour, I was playing. I was excited about what I was doing and began to share my work again. People were responding positively so I continued to create, and enjoyed the process. It was fun again. Maybe I’m getting older and caring less about what other people think or coming to terms with the idea that photography is part of my core. The one thing I know is that it’s play that keeps calling me back to create and experiment with photography. I encourage you to pick up your camera, experiment, try a technique or a lens you’ve never used before. Fight the instincts to make a technically perfect image. You never know where it will take you. Remember fun. This story originally featured in the Let's Do something FUN issue. This print edition is SOLD OUT, but you can still read the full replica on Press Reader - HERE.

Photography highlights at TOAF65 The Toronto Outdoor Art Fair (TOAF) returns July 10–12 for its landmark 65th birthday. As Canada's largest and longest-running outdoor art fair, TOAF promises a weekend filled with art, culture, and connection—and this year's edition is its most ambitious yet. Featuring more than 400 artists from across Canada, expanded national representation, major new exhibitions, live music and dance performances, and free admission, TOAF65 is a celebration not to be missed. More than 400 emerging and established artists will participate in this year's Fair, including 75 artists from outside Ontario and 64 artists exhibiting exclusively online at TOAF.ca. Visitors can discover work across painting, craft and design, sculpture and installation, photography, and digital media. This exceptional roster was selected by an esteemed jury of arts professionals: Sandra Brewster, Suzanne Carte, Maria Kanellopoulos, and Jesse King. TOAF also takes pride in an awards program unlike any other in Canada. In honour of its 65th year, the Fair will distribute more than $67,000 in cash and in-kind awards, creating opportunities for artists to advance their careers, receive public recognition, and strengthen their practices. Look forward to winner announcements in the Photography & Digital Media category: Best of Photography & Digital Media Award $2,650, generously supported by Jennifer Longhurst and Lars Bendsen Honourable Mention Photography & Digital Media $650 gift card, generously supported by Total Image Works PhotoED Magazine Award Three recipients will receive a subscription to PhotoEd Magazine. One recipient will receive a Print Feature and artist honorarium. To celebrate photoED Magazine's partnership with TOAF, we're highlighting a selection of photographers participating in this year's Fair. From documentary and portraiture to experimental and conceptual practices, these are a few of the artists we have our eye on at TOAF65… Ranz Bontogon - Atlantic Canada Program Ang Matamis Na Tunog Nang Tawa Ng Barkada / Sweet Sound of Laughing With Friends • Cyanotype Print on Manila Paper, tea-toned with black tea Born in Taguig City, Philippines and now based in Moncton, New Brunswick, Ranz Bontogon’s work explores the complex interfaces of Filipino identity and migration in Canada. Bontogon’s use of traditional darkroom processes contributes to the quiet nostalgia of his work. This sense of memory also emerges through his sensitivity to composition; motion and stillness find balance in each piece, further contributing to the larger narrative of cultural identity and place. Lara Shecter The Finish Line • Canvas on Wood Cradle with resin finish Vancouver-based, first time TOAF artist, Lara Shecter is drawn to the stories embedded in landscapes. Working in acrylic and mixed-media, Shecter’s work is sensitive to perspective and depth, and through this, her compositions reveal the relationship between the human and the natural world. Shecter’s use of colour is surprising, yet somehow familiar, producing reimagined landscapes that capture a sense of shifting familiarity. Chris Robison HOTBOX - Becker's PhoneBooth • Photograph on 290g Hahnemühle Natural Bamboo fine art archival paper Chris Robinson specializes in conceptual, lifestyle, and portraiture photography, creating colourful, story-driven works that lean into the experience of memory. Robinson does not shy away from humour in his work, turning towards fuzzy warmth and lightheartedness to create a sense of whimsy that elevates mundane landscapes into cinematic snapshots. Nika Belianina Inner Spirit • photograph Nika Belianina is an award-winning filmmaker and artist based in Toronto whose work is distinctly playful, peculiar, and profoundly human. To develop her unique sense of atmosphere, Belianina brings in elements of magical realism through a cinematic lens, producing work that walks the line between uncanny and entirely relatable. Belianina was the recipient of the Honourable Mention Photography and Digital Media Award at TOAF64. Alicia Syne Stardust 1 • Photography & Digital Media Based in Ontario, Alicia Syne is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily in painting and photography. Syne engages with themes of human connection and atmospheric energy and, in turn, the nature of identity. The blur between background and subject contribute to Syne’s unconventional, cosmic twist on portraiture, asking the viewer to consider their own relationship with the non-human world. Bree Rosberg April 1962: Flounder • Photograph Part of OCAD U Career Launchers Program, Bree Rosenberg is an artist whose practice revolves around themes of memory and self-reflection. In her work, Rosenberg leans into conceptual and intention-based processes where she navigates the relationship between art, text, and dialogue. Rosenberg understands her work to be a process of healing through performance, and this is evident in her monochromatic, movement-focused compositions which depict the body in motion and obscure the face. Jenelle Smith Gia • Photograph First generation Jamaican-Canadian artist, Jenelle Smith creates dreamlike expressions of passing moments. Smith is a recent graduate of OCAD U, and is now based in Toronto, Ontario, working primarily in digital and analog image-based media. Light and shadow, in Smith’s photographs, fall in patterns across landscapes and faces, contributing to the dreamy, playful aesthetic of her work. Carolyn Cheng Fallow Fields (Seasons, Fall) • Archival Pigment Print Carolyn Cheng is a Toronto-based photographer whose work frames sublime environmental landscapes, photographing primarily from an aerial perspective. Cheng is interested in how the cyclical, enduring processes of the natural world react under the pressures of human consumption and the changing climate. Through scale and distance, natural patterns and colours emerge in Cheng’s work, reorienting perspective and asking the viewer to reconsider their relationship with the natural world.
