Shutterbug Tamela Kemp travels with equipment in hand to scenic parks and other locations selected by patrons to capture the friendly smiles and pleasant poses of up to eight people.

After the session, patrons receive access to an online gallery containing the 25 best images in a mix of color and black-and-white shots, edited to eliminate red eyes or maitre d's attracted by shouts for cheese.

Downtown Sailing Center (DSC) aims to open up access to sailing through instruction, summer camps for youth, and a fleet of community boats. Its adult and youth boating programming promotes inclusive recreation for people who may face limited opportunities for this kind of activity because of disability or socioeconomic disadvantage. Over the course of a season, more than 1,000 people take to the water with the help of DSC volunteers and staff, who are specially trained to accommodate special needs. The boats at the DSC were specially designed so that they cannot capsize, allowing people with disabilities to sail safely.
