Area photographers capture a “Day In The Life” of Qualicum Beach

Over twenty local photographers set their camera lenses to capture a day in the community of Qualicum Beach. � is event is based on the co� ee table books about Canada, Australia, Hawaii, Japan, etc. that o� er multiple photographic impressions recorded on a single day. TOSH asked a wide range of photographer, from well-known artists to hobbyists - to submit their top photos of Qualicum Beach. � is was not the � rst time for this event as two years ago TOSH chose the Summer Solstice, June 21, 2011 for the day on which the photographs would be taken.

As the � rst day of summer it was a sig-ni� cant day, and, yet, as another Tuesday in Qualicum Beach it was not a particularly signi� cant day. � e photographers enjoyed the challenge and the visitors to the exhibi-tion enjoyed the creative photography de-picting our picturesque town.

� e photographers all wanted to do it again and as 2012 was a year of special celebration for the Qualicum Beach community, it was decided to feature the town at play. � e date of July 28, 2012 was chosen because it would be one the busiest days in Qualicum Beach with town enjoying the St. Mark’s Fair, � e Old School House Arts Centre celebration for the school house building’s 100th Birthday and the Grand Prix d’Art painting race.

� e town woke up early to set up the events and partied late into the evening on the green behind TOSH. � e event was commemorated with an exhibition of photographs taken on that exciting day.

� e photographs were exhibited and for sale at � e Old School House Arts Centre ear-lier this year and if you see one you in this photo essay you would like to purchase please contact the art centre.
