10 years ago

Wanted to do a short post... It was 10 years ago October 15 that I moved into the ARC and started my adventure in Vancouver.  Its been an amazing journey so far.  I want to say a big thank you to a few people who helped me get started here in Vancouver.My Cousin Lori  for supporting me for 6 months before I actually moved into the ARC, Thank you so much.Roy Mackey - (http://www.flamingsteel.com/) .. Thanks for Roy for calling me one last time when he had the "perfect" studio for me.  I had said no so many times Roy told Marta this was my last chance.  I didn't know that though.  I remember Roy saying to me "at some point you just have to step off the cliff". I did and I am so grateful. Roy you got a few chocolate bars coming your way.Blaine Burns - Thanks for believing in me and giving me the support I needed.Chris Bush - for your support and for introducing me to Roy and the ARCThe ARC community - I can't even begin to thank all fellow Arconians. So many fantastic artists/friends , memories, laughter, brainstorming, beverages, crazy ideas, shoulders, dinners,  pranks, art, galleries, dances, halloweens, culture crawls. People came and went from the ARC but many of us are still in contact, even working together now, thats so incredible.There are so many more people, organisations - Women in Film, Eastside culture crawl, the many film crews, the many fellow photographers and life just keeps getting better! I say to all, follow your heart and stick to it, here is to the next 10 years! Thank you all!Love Wendy D
