"Carter spent years building up Diversity Photos, which he founded because minority communities have been historically overlooked in stock photography. Carter says the company invested heavily in recruiting real, everyday people and obtained proper consent for the photos."

Hey Canucks! Instead of buying "s--t for f---ing poor people" from Campbells, don't forget we have our own premium soups made right here at home.
I'm a fan of Primo Chicken Noodle soup - they use nice big Rotini noodles and I think it has a nicer taste than Campbells' Chunky.
There's also Aylmer, which has a delicious tomato soup and their own condensed chicken noodle as well.

I allowed lens flare to occur, while I pushed the trigger. I'm in the habit of taking several photos of the same subject, so I allow aberrations to happen.
While I appreciate clean lines, rich colours and deep blacks of professional photography, I enjoy the cinematic effect as well - where you can tell the image is not "real". That's why I don't mind lens flare and artifacts showing up in my images. It makes for a much more "realistic" moment than something practiced, polished, perfected. I believe in Zen moments.
