Dear
Dave,
Is anyone else excited about the
announcements
about more promising
vaccines? I know that a widely
distributed vaccine will allow us to
get back to work, normality and
travel again! This is especially
good news in light of the recent
case spikes, additional lock downs
and winter on the way.
|
As an amateur photographer, I
enjoyed documenting our local
adventures through my photos.
HERE
is sample of some of my favourite
photos of flora, fauna and scenery
from our hikes and exploration over
the year. We do live in such a
beautiful province, and I appreciate
it even more now.
I also decided to photograph the
amazing variety of
pandemic signs
all around us in British Columbia,
that are meant to help keep us
educated and safe while outside
exploring. It made sense to
self-publish a book highlighting
these creative and eye-catching
pandemic signs from BC. With
vaccines on the horizon, these signs
will definitely be gone sometime in
2021.
You can see a
sample
of the book
HERE.
You can
purchase
a copy of this photography book in
1. Various formats (hard cover, soft
cover, magazine style, PDF or eBook),
2. At various prices ($4.99 - $30
CAD)
3. Directly from me
HERE or
4. From the self-publishing/printing
company Burb.ca
HERE.
TESTIMONIAL: Christal
Bauer, a fellow travel professional,
recently bought a copy of the book.
She says “So exciting!!! I went
to the mailbox and my book was
there!! I absolutely love it...thank
you so much!! Perfect memories of a
crazy year.”
Note that a portion of the sales
profits of this book will be donated
to the
Canadian Red Cross
and
BC Transplant. The
Canadian Red Cross
staff and volunteers continue their
ongoing mission of education and
emergency relief during the
pandemic. Freddie is a living kidney
donor and volunteer with
BC Transplant. BC
Transplant
oversees all aspects of organ
donation, family support and
transplant across BC and manages the
BC Organ Donor Registry.
Stay safe, stay hopeful and keep in
touch.
Sincerely,
Dave Emery
