Sarah went back year of Journalism College and made a at those she met ommunity Living part of her life again become involved with the Board of Community Living Central Huron, Sarah decided to be a part of what made her so happy in the summer of 2004. Unfortunately, she was never able to fulfill that prom- ise as her life came to an end in a tragic car crash. Family and friends wanted to honour Sarah's zest for life, her love for photography and her compas- sion. The Last Light Photo Show & Sale was born. The Huron Camera Club approached Community Liv- ing -Central Huron about a partnership, as Sarah's passion for photography was evident from her being a founding member of the Club. The Last Light Photo Show showcases Sarah's passion for photogra- phy and raises awareness of a group of very special individu- als in our community. sked in 2005 to Sarah's family says her love of photography started in early high school. She found an old 35 mm camera that belonged to her Dad, added a funky blue, furry neck strap and set about taking pictures of anything and everything. She enrolled in a yearlong year- book class in grade 12 and was one of the main photogra- phers. This coupled with an insane love of reading daily. newspapers made her realize that her future career would be journalism. Always a writer at. heart she did well at Humber, gaining honour role status because she was doing some- thing that she lovedto do. It was a profession that included both writing and photography. Subsequently, her job at the Signal -Star gave her a chance to bring her Journalistic talents to a small town paper with a big heart. This group of won- derful people became her "peeps" and she absolutely loved everything about it. She went to schools, community events, council meetings and parades to name a few. If it happened in Goderich and the surrounding area she helped to cover it fc)r the Goderich Sig- nal -Star, and all the while she was TAKING PICTURES!! She was quickly becoming a pan of the community and it made her happy. Sarah's family says "a digital camera was the best Christmas gift we ever gave her in Dec 2005 - it went with her wher- ever she went. Sunsets and cloudy skies were two of her favourites. She became profi- cient at self portraits and for that we will be forever grateful. It provided our family with wonderful shots of her at her happiest and in special moments - pictures we have come to cherish." In 2007, the Last Light Photo Show and Sale was initiated, it pays tribute to Sarah's contri- butions to her community and her enthusiasm for photogra- phy. The categories for the Show highlight Sarah's work and interests.
