“Thank you so much. I will make you all proud.”
I plan to use the scholarship for the purpose of going to the University of
Gloucestershire (UK) to complete my Bachelors of Art in Fine Art. I will be attending in
September 2022 and graduating in June 2023. The monies would be used towards the
significant costs of tuition due to currency conversion and as an international student.
With an extensive background in photography, I have been an advocate and ally pushing the
boundaries of fine art within the photographic community. My position is that it belongs. I
continue to assist this evolving process. I am an agent of change within the evolving digital art
realm. Yet, I am teaching the historical photographic processes to the youth who have not
experienced film or other processes like cyanotype or wet plate. I think it is important for all to
understand where photography has come from as it evolves.
I will briefly touch on highlights of my CV (www.tjfarrington.com). I hold three fellowships
(F/CAPA, F/PPOC-BC, F/SWPP). I was the first female to represent Canada as the International
Photographic Judge for the World Cup. I have judged photographic exhibitions in UK, USA, and
Canada. I have taught judging clinics in the UK and Canada with emphasis on art and abstracts.
I have a Masters of Photographic Arts (MPA x4) and a Service in Photographic Arts (SPA)
through Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC). I have been a mentor and portfolio
advisor within the photo and art community and volunteering photographic expertise to
schools and local clubs.
In the UK, I will be exploring various forms of photographic art with access to processes and
equipment unavailable in Canada. I am a conceptual artist, mainly photography-based. I am
looking forward to seeing where and what will develop in the upcoming year abroad.
I am experimenting with hybrid photography. This includes making three-dimensional weaves
of liminal-space photographs during breath practice. This liminal space is captured in the
moment the photograph is taken. The weave of the photographic strips adds a visual
expression of time, ritual and mediative practises within the spiritual paradigm.
The six-image portfolio is eclectic in nature covering a number of years.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frederick E. Greene HonFPSA, GMPSA, EFIAP, HonFCAPA on January 20, 2022. Fred received an honourary fellowship from CAPA in 2007 for his many years of dedicated service to photography at the National level both as Vice President East in the Colour Photographic Association of Canada (CPAC) and as Atlantic Zone Director for CAPA after CPAC merged with NAPA.
An honourary member of the Photographic Guild of Nova Scotia (PGNS), Fred was a mainstay of the club having served on its Executive in various roles for over 42 years with his most recent positions being program (21 years) and judging (26 years) chairs.
His hard work, dedication and expertise will be sorely missed by all of us at the club.

C’est avec un grand plaisir que nous vous annonçons la tenue du congrès de l’Association canadienne de l’art photographique communément appelé le CCC 2023.
Le thème du congrès « Au-delà de l’image ; voir autrement » permets d’explorer non seulement les univers habituels, mais les univers plus éclatés en considérant l’astronomie, en passant par l’univers sous-marin, les horizons, jusqu’à l’intelligence artificielle en photographie.
Ce congrès biennal, aura lieu du 8 au 11 août 2023, à Québec, QC, plus précisément sur le campus de l’Université Laval et des sorties photos précéderont l’événement de 3 jours soit les 5, 6 et 7 août ainsi qu’après l’événement pour une journée supplémentaire soit, le 12 août. L’université Laval réserve un ensemble de chambres couvrant la période complète.
En effet, de manière concrète, Lorraine Deslauriers, organisatrice de l’événement, propose une palette de sorties photo dans la belle région de la capitale nationale et des associations avec des organismes locaux nous permettront d’aller creuser ces univers moins connus.
En matinée, la programmation se décline sur trois jours (les 9, 10 et 11 août) et offrira trois plénières unilingues avec traduction simultanée. En après-midi, des périodes parallèles sur différents sujets mettront en scène une conférence se décline en français puis dans sa version anglaise. Nous avons besoin de conférenciers en après-midi. Ces deux sessions durent 1 ½ heure chacune (13h-14h30 et 15-16h30), y compris les périodes de questions. Si vous avez un problème pour présenter votre conférence dans les deux langues, veuillez le mentionner dans votre proposition.
Pour le choix de nos conférenciers, nous nous sommes donné des critères de sélection tout à fait précis : Le haut standard au niveau de la qualité de la photographie, le dynamisme de la personne à diffuser son art, le niveau de connaissance dans le sujet novateur, la qualité du rendu.
Nous souhaitons donc lancer notre invitation à soumettre vos propositions de sujets qu’ils soient de l’exploration des nouveaux univers, astronomie, monde sous-marin, horizons et intelligence artificielle ou vos propositions sur les sujets plus classiques de la photo d’architecture, photo paysage, photo animalière, mais sans oublier toute présentation s’alimentant de la technique telle que le noir et blanc, le « High Dynamic Range », les poses longues et rapides, le « Low-Key », le « High-Key », le « Light Painting », la macrophotographie, etc.
L’engagement, dans la soumission d’une proposition de conférence, comprend la soumission du titre et l’abrégé de l’exposé, idéalement de photos inhérentes, une courte biographie, une photo du conférencier et les exigences à l’égard à sa participation.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the Canadian Photographic Art Association’s conference, commonly known as the CCC 2023.
The theme of the congress “Beyond the image; seeing differently” allows to explore not only the usual universes, but also the more exploded universes by considering astronomy, passing by the underwater universe, the horizons, until the artificial intelligence in photography.
This biennial conference will take place from August 8 to 11, 2023, in Quebec City, QC, more precisely on the campus of Laval University and photo outings will precede the 3-day event on August 5, 6 and 7 as well as after the event for an additional day on August 12. Laval University is reserving a set of rooms for the entire period.
Indeed, in a concrete way, Lorraine Deslauriers, organizer of the event, proposes a range of photo outings in the beautiful region of the national capital and associations with local organizations will allow us to dig into these less known universes.
In the mornings, the program is spread over three days (August 9, 10 and 11) and will offer three unilingual plenary sessions with simultaneous translation. In the afternoon, parallel periods on different topics will feature a conference in French and then in its English version. We need afternoon presenters. These two sessions are 1 ½ hours each (1-2:30pm and 3-4:30PM) including the periods for questions. Should you have a problem to deliver your conference in both languages, please mention it your proposal.
For the choice of our lecturers, we have given ourselves precise selection criteria: the high standard of the quality of the photography, the dynamism of the person to spread his art, the level of knowledge in the innovative subject, the quality of the rendering.
We would therefore like to launch our invitation to submit your proposals for topics such as the exploration of new universes, astronomy, underwater world, horizons and artificial intelligence or your proposal on the more classic subjects of architectural photography, landscape photography, wildlife photography, but without forgetting any presentation feeding on the photographic technique such as the black and white, the ” High Dynamic Range “, the long exposure, the fast exposure, the ” Low-Key “, the ” High-Key “, the ” Light Painting “, the macro photography, etc.
The commitment, in submitting a conference proposal, includes the submission of the title and abstract of the presentation, ideally with inherent photos, a short biography, a photo of the speaker and the requirements for his/her participation.

Concours actuellement ouverts à la soumission d’images
All our 2022 – 2023 competitions have been updated and two new competitions have been added: Photo Journalism and Fall/Winter.
To avoid disappointments, it is imperative that all photographers review and comply with each scope of competition prior to submitting their images.
With many of our competitions receiving over 1,000 submitted images, the management of multiple themes and judging teams has become a logistical challenge.
To minimize these impacts, we have decided to reduce the total images submissions for individual CAPA members from 4 to 3 images.
Individual CAPA member submissions have represented 70 – 75% of total submissions for our national competitions.
Camera clubs will continue to upload 6 images from 6 different photographers. Only exception for club submissions is for our Atlantic and Prairie zone competitions.
With the advent of Artificial Intelligence in the creation and enhancement of photographic images, we have updated our CAPA Eligibility Criteria webpage:
