Chick Clicks #1
When in Vegas at WPPI, our last seminar we attended was by one of my photography heroes - Bambi Cantrell. She spoke about taking photos to keep your creativity alive - just for the sheer joy of it! They could be crazy or over the top and stuff you'd never use - but they keep the juices flowing.
The four of us who were there decided to start "Chick Clicks". A group where we meet every 6 weeks, a different one of us hosting each time and coming up with the theme and ideas. We wish we could open up to everyone we know - but it's hard to coordinate the schedules of 4 people never mind 20 people! Please, if this is something that you're interested in - start a group! Gather a few friends and start snapping!!
Back to my story...
Today was my turn to host our first get together and I decided to do "trash the dress" with an urban feel to it. Problem was that I didn't have any wedding dresses to trash! Well, I found a great thrift store in Hamilton (Revolving Closet on Ottawa St. - check them out and tell Eva I sent you!) that lent us all the dresses, shoes, accessories, veils, etc. we wanted for $20!! Sweet. (Although because we were renting meant I couldn't completely trash the dresses! I really wanted to have someone swim in a dress..)
Anyhow, without further ado - here's a few photos from today...
