Introduction I am a former teacher, current freelance photographer, writer, traveler, vintage-collector, book lover, knowledge-seeker, who believes strongly in the simple things in life that make every moment a gift. Holding a Master’s Degree in Education, I devoted years of teaching and lecturing, while one day the classroom become too “tight” and noisy to fulfill my creative and spiritual needs. With the encouragement of my sixth grade son then, I created my blog “ Sylvia’s Simple Life “ (in the beginning of 2011) only to discover that photography is what makes me feel alive and infinitely happy. I returned to the classroom but this time as a student of photography and in 2016 I graduated with Honours from the School of Media Studies & Information Technology – Humber College. I love to photograph food, people, tiny whispers of beauty and I hope the images I create make others feel good, encourage them to look closer and reflect on the simplicity of ordinary, everyday moments.
