Research at the JCNM

Today I began my research at the JCNM (Japanese Canadian National Museum) for my phototgraphic piece for the Kizuna exhibition. Actually the research began months ago, no I'd say years ago, as my thirst to learn more about my Japanese roots in Canada has been something that's always been with me. I've just never had the opportunity to fulfill this outside of my own curiosities, and when life gets in the way, those curiosities have always taken the back seat. Well, now, I have a reason to live this and a passion to express myself in a way that excites me - with photography. But back to the JCNM: with the help of Linda Reid, Beth Carter, Nichola Ogiwara and Alexis Jensen, my research has taken a turn to the 'official'. I began to search the extensive databases of the museum and I'm happy to report it was quite fulfilling. I'll be back for more soon...
