Being in business is tough, being in business as an artist, tougher.
I guess that’s why I was so irked when Mayor Jim Watson dissed famed Ottawa
wedding/portrait photographer Paul Couvrette http://www.couvrette-photography.on.ca/. last month during that Photogate controversy. After all was said and done, it seems like the City itself was totally at fault for not even showing up for sessions and giving themselves makeovers on OUR nickel!!!
What was Watson thinking when he called professional photography a “frivolous” expense. Gosh, I wonder what he thinks about weddings…no, lets not even go there.
Couvrette stepped up and even donated the profits from the shoot to Ottawa shelter families at Christmas while our new Mayor looked like Scrooge. Way to go.
