I donated a portrait session to a fundraiser for the Oaklands Sunset Market in April. Last week the purchasers of the package and I met. It was the most unique ‘family’ I had yet to photograph. Nine roommates share a beautiful old house and wanted to document their shared co-habitation. Most have been living together for at least 2 years. The house was a lovely example of communal living with a great garden in the back and a most welcoming porch in the front.
It reminded me of my days at 26th and Nanaimo in Vancouver, where over 8 years, in my 20’s,I shared my home with a plethora of roommates (20+, the longest being 3 years), before I settled down to start my own family.
It was a very fun evening and I enjoyed meeting new faces in my new neighbourhood.
