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.

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. Categories for
