Through this current situation we're all living through, we've been open and honest with our kids about what's going on. We feel that it's important for them to know and to be aware of the scale and brevity of this worldwide crisis. Behind our house, there's a walking path. We've noticed more people walking the path over the last week since everyone is home. So last night, Ava - our 7-year-old daughter - wanted to write some positive messages with chalk on the path for people... walking it. So - here are some tips on "how to best deal with the coronavirus pandemic" from a 7-year-old. And honestly? I feel like if the world followed these tips, we'd be in a better place, even beyond the crisis we're living through right now! Stay home Wash your hands Help those in need Get air Respect others Just be happy Be thankful Live your life Don't be risky Be loved Be prepared Be kind Be thoughtful Be happy Be safe Smile

My brother and his wife welcomed their first baby boy - Riley Robert Caporicci - on Tuesday. Yesterday, we took our three kiddos to visit them and meet their new cousin for the first time. Of course, I had to bring my camera! Specifically, I chose to shoot film - for all the nostalgic feels. For all of my photographer friends who may be interested, I chose to document these on my Leica M6 (from 1985) and 50mm Summicron Rigid (from 1965). I shot on Kodak TMax P3200 because it'...s my favourite emotive B&W film stock. Sure - grain for days - but I love it. The first of many great memories together! I posted a few more over on my Instagram story - come check 'em out - www.instagram.com/bcapphoto

Last night one was a heck of a party! I photographed the wedding of Melissa and Andrew and rang in 2020 with them and 130 of their closest family and friends at The Pillar and Post. Huge kudos to Dan from Impressions Music & Entertainment, Pillar and Post and Clippings at the Miller House for the amazing work yesterday!

As you may know, I've recently been exploring film photography for the first time in my 13-year career as a professional photographer. And? I've been having a total blast! Here are a few images from a recent portrait session with Eni. I photographed this on my 1985 Leica M6 with a 1960-something 50mm Summicron Rigid lens. I shot on Eastman Double X (5222) black and white film, a motion picture film cut-down for 35mm cameras. And I developed it at home in my kitchen.... Talk about being involved in the process from start-to-finish! It's so much fun! I love the look of film and the character that shooting with this vintage equipment gives me, but more so, I love the experience of shooting film, and how it helps me see things differently.

I am leading a photo walk with a group of Toronto film photographers in NOTL this coming Saturday morning. If you're interested in modelling for us, we'd love to have you! I'd welcome models, aspiring models, expecting moms, children, couples, or anyone who would be comfortable in front of a couple of cameras! The photo walk is this Saturday morning from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm in Niagara-on-the-Lake. ... In exchange for your time, I'll arrange to get you a few images from the various photographers in attendance! Oh - and hey - if you're an aspiring (film) photographer, I'd love to have you come along, too! Either way, send me a message if it's something you're interested in!
