If you read my previous post, you know I have been nominated for the Visual Arts section of the Waterloo Region Arts Awards. In order to provide them with materials that backs up my involvement in the Waterloo Region community I proceeded to ask you, my friends, fellow photographers, clients and blog readers, to be a witness to my existence here and what I spent my time doing for the past years.
The results and feedback I received left me more than speechless… Your generosity in kind words almost left me curious to read to the end and find out who these words are about; because it sounded too good to be me. I am most humbled that I was blessed to be of help to some of you and that we are one step closer to the dream of a united artists’ community in our region.
Some of the kind words that stayed with me:
“Along with great energy and excitement for the arts, Stefan brings light to seemingly complex aspects of photography to his students… his friends.” […] “Everyone is welcome and everyone is a great artist in Stefan’s circle. His passion for photography is contagious, even more so when it comes with constant praise and encouragement to those around him.” […] “Personally, Stefan has given me many tools to be the photographer that I am. I still have a lot of work to do and lessons to learn and Stefan remains a willing phone call or text message away.”
