RAMBAM Hospital Fundraising Event: May 4th, 2010

I had the wonderful privilege of photographing the RAMBAM Hospital Fundraising Event that was held in downtown Toronto.
This is an incredible work that the doctors and staff at the RAMBAM Hospital -located in Haifa, Israel- are putting together for the health and safety of the people of Israel.
They are raising funds to build an underground hospital located in the underground parking of the actual hospital! It's an amazing concept! An underground parking lot that holds thousands of cars can be transformed, within 60 hours, into a fully functioning hospital -complete with an emergency room, operating rooms, dialysis treatment section, a maternity ward, etc... and everything you could possibly need in a fully functioned hospital as big as this one is!
They even showed us pictures of the parking lot filled with cars and then what the place looks like after with the entire hospital set up -it's unbelievable! You'd never think it was ever a parking lot to begin with!

Well, needless to say, I felt extremely honoured to have been chosen to photograph the event and to support such a tremendous project.
At the fundraiser, they even set up a mock-up presentation of the underground hospital complete with hospital beds, instruments and even actors to act out the functionality of a typical day at the hospital! It was awesome! :)

Happy Chanukah!!:

Just this past Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 I got the opportunity to photograph the Menorah Candle Lighting Event that was hosted by the JRCC (Jewish Russian Community Centre) at a plaza near Bathurst & Steeles in Toronto!
It was the first time we covered the event and it was an awesome experience! A little bit on the chilly side -as you can tell by the photos it was snowing a lot and the wind was rather strong too... Everyone was quite the trooper out there though! Thankfully we all survived!! =p
So I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Chanukah and Chag Sameach!!
To our Christian friends: Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
All the best to everyone!!!!
I think this might end up being our last post for the year 2008 as our family is gearing up for a family vacation soon!! We will be leaving for Brazil to visit family and friends, so we are really excited to go! But don't worry, we shall return! We are to arrive back in Toronto on Jan.13th, 2009. Soon after our arrival -on Jan.15th, we will be photographing a wedding! So hang on tight, 2009 is looking busy and promising!! We certainly want to Thank G-d for His provision and tremendous blessings upon our family this past year and we pray that He might continue to bless each one of us in the years to come!
See you all next year...
