    The first time I shot with the D800 was at High Park in Toronto, to see the cherry blossoms that had appeared for a limited time. The park was congested with people taking several pictures of the cherry blossoms and themselves.

    It’s been a while…

    My apologies for not posting since Christmas, but I was extremely occupied and focused with my last semester at school.  I have finally completed my undergrad at the University of Toronto, with a Specialist degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology.  Further, I recently made a switch in systems, from Canon, and bought a Nikon D800 with two Nikkor lenses.  I have been practicing with my new camera, while starting to train my eye and shoot daily. Hence I promise to keep my blog updated weekly.

    This was one of the gatherings held for Sarah’s wedding where there were no men allowed into the hall, since it was a traditional Muslim wedding.  Thus, it was an only ladies event and the men were in a separate room.  Being the only photographer on the ladies side, I had to make sure that I wasn’t violating the privacy of any individuals by taking photos without their consent.  This was my first time covering an “only ladies” wedding function.

    Recently, I assisted a wedding photographer in Toronto with my first Jewish wedding.  Unfortunately, I won’t be posting any of those pictures, since the couple didn’t want any of their images floating around on websites. Hopefully, I will get another chance in the future to cover a Jewish wedding again and there should be no problems posting those photos.
