Paul Saltzman Visits

Submissions for PhotoSensitive's Cancer Connections project continue to be accepted as the February 28th deadline nears. The project, which St. Mildred's-Lightbourn School spearheaded amongst all independent and private schools across Canada, features photographs that will help to raise awareness and foster sensitivity to those affected by cancer and the people close to them.

To date over 140 students and 13 independent/private schools have joined the list of participants. St. Mildred's-Lightbourn School (SMLS) students have contributed 32 photos, with one submission by Maddie Goodall accepted for the national tour.
Karen Dyne, the Head of Art and Otino Corsano, the Visual Arts and New Media teacher at SMLS, were both keen for SMLS students to get involved in the project and to help encourage other schools to participate. Corsano has been working closely with SMLS students through a Communication Technology class offered at the school. The response has been positive.
"PhotoSensitive's imagery appealed to the students. They became excited about being a part of it," noted Dyne. "They also felt empowered by the chance to show their work alongside professional photographer's photos. They have been asked to say something and get their messages out there."
Dyne also noted that student involvement in the project has also opened their eyes to the realities of the disease. Students have not restricted their involvement to still photos. A YouTube video is currently being produced by SMLS students to help promote the project.
