Q: What is your favourite gi CONTRIBUTORS to give? L O U I S E L A M PA R D originally from London, England, emigrated to Canada with her husband and to live in southern Alberta. Having always loved photography, it was her cancer diagnosis that finally gave Louise the courage to switch careers and start her business, Handmade By Louise. Louise is 38 years old and last year published her first book A Year in My Shoes, which documents her illness from diagnosis to recovery. In 2007/08 Louise travelled to the Southern hemisphere to photograph Australia and New Zealand, having added this to her portfolio, she will continue to capture the world's beauty with her camera. A: My favourite gi to give would be my glass bead, handmade wine charms from www.louiselampard.com. ey are a great gi for any occasion. e best gi I ever gave was for my husband, a Yamaha R1 motorbike. It was a complete surprise for him and seeing the look on his face made me cry! LOUISE LAMPARD P. 45 “ ” P I A TAY L O R is a freelance writer and photographer living, working and playing in ever-so beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. A few years back, inspired by what she was seeing around her, she created Mother City Living, a practical guide to living the good 'green' life in Cape Town (www.mothercityliving.co.za). And thus began a quest to find ways to live greener, eat slower, and generally leave all things mass-produced and earth-unfriendly in her dust — something she discovered wasn't actually as difficult as she'd thought. Now, she's ditched supermarkets and shopping malls and could think of no better way to spend her time than being in the great outdoors, visiting farmers' markets, tasting lovingly-made food - and then writing about it! Life's rough in Africa. A: Boxes and boxes of organic fruit and vegetables. Because once someone tastes the real deal they'll never go back to the pale overpackaged supermarket variety. And that's not just good for them, it's good for the planet (let the crusade begin!) “ ” P. 46-47 PIA TAYLOR S A R A H P U K I N is a nationally acclaimed fashion photographer based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
