Hi Everyone! I know you have all been waiting eagerly to see pictures from the Second Annual South Asian Festival held in the heart of Ottawa. The festival took place at Confederation park on the 17th of July, 2010 - thousands of people came to it and supported an amazing event.

I was lucky enough to be the Official Photographer for the festival and it was awesome! I got to see soo many people I met last year…and so many more new faces too who I know I’ll be seeing in the coming years.

I would like to thank the OSACA executives and volunteers for putting together such a fabulous event for everyone to come out and enjoy…I look forward to being a part of it in the coming years also.
