Kelsey Mason is an award-winning photographer and free-lance writer. She has exhibited in galleries across Canada: from the metropolitan Toronto area, to the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. In any discussion about photography, she will counsel you to "always carry a camera." On the rare occasions when she has not followed her own advice, she has regretted a missed opportunity. The camera has transformed her into a person who enjoys challenging weather. "The more hostile the elements," she says, "the greater the potential for an amazing shot."
