Contributors  Marianne Meadahl, who wrote and photographed our cover story on Mark Jaccard, grew up in Burnaby and graduated from Burnaby South High School — which is also Jaccard’s alma mater. During an earlier photo shoot, Jaccard and his son Ingram, who played with the SFU Clan, took time to toss a football around with her sons Sam and Jacob (shown) — and left an impression on the young brothers. She shares a similar philosophy on family: “No matter where life takes you, nothing is as rewarding as the relationships you have with your kids.” |

Dale Northey, who photographed the SFU pipeband and Ann Paxton, is a relative newcomer to the LIDC-SFU staff but has a long involvement in photography. First starting and working in commercial photography, he has also worked as a photographer in the medical and archaeology fields. His second interest is sailing, particularly racing, which creates the dilemma: race sailboats or photograph sailboats? < http://www.lidc.sfu.ca/communications/photography/ > |

 Curtis Trent’s first experience with photography had him arranging relatives in the open prairie. In many ways this primary experience formed the basis for his future work that has an emphasis on environmental portraiture. His photography crosses many of the conventional boundaries of his profession in its diversity, and may be seen in several corporate and private collections across North America and overseas. After spending nearly 20 years in Toronto, Trent has returned to Alberta, where he continues to shoot, exhibit, and teach. <www.curtistrent.com> |
