One of the great things about being a photographer is that you get to create and share images that mean something to you. This is true for all people, not just the ones that make a living shooting photos. As a Commercial Photographer, however, there are projects that you never get to share and also projects that you can’t share right away.
Soon after our arrival back in Canada after six months away doing volunteer work in Mexico, I was privileged to be able to shoot one of those kinds of projects. So for that past five months I have been dying to share these images and the project behind them. Without further ado, I would like to introduce the ELENI Lamp by Designer Matthew Kennedy of AVI Inc and MaKe.

This light (along with a few others of his design) had been submitted to the LAMP (Lighting Architecture Movement Project) CRYSTALLIZE Competition. As of today, we have been informed that it has chosen as one of the finalists in the competition. Personally, I would love to see this light win not just because of my personal connection here, but also because of its elegant visual design and its innovative use of LED lighting technology.
You can support me and this project by casting your vote at http://www.welovelamp.ca/cast-your-vote. The light is in the ESTABLISHED category, and the name again is ELENI. If you have a little time and are into lights and decor, check out some of the light in the other categories as well, there are some really amazing concepts showcased.
