The beauty of Northwestern Ontario is what attracted Linda Ryma to photography. As time passed she became interested in portrait photography and opened a studio to pursue this endeavor.

In early 2020 Linda earned her Master of Photographic Arts designati

on with the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC). She has also achieved accreditation in the areas of "Nature", "Botanical", "Night Photography", "Fine Art/Photo Decor", "Stock", "Image Manipulation", "Digital Illustration", "Pictorial/Scenic" & "Ornithology/Bird Photography" with PPOC.

Spotted this guy a couple of months ago but haven’t been out to see if I can find him again. Maybe this weekend 🤞

Probably the most damaged of all of the family photographs in my possession. This restoration took many, many hours and I’m very proud of it.

Yesterday I received an email from the Professional Photographers of Canada letting me know that I had earned my 4th MPA Bar. While this is a great achievement that I'm very proud of, I'm a bit conflicted. I'm not required to receive my bar this year. If I choose to receive it, it will use all of my print, service and education merits. I tend to earn print merits much faster than service and especially education merits. So this has me leaning to towards not receiving it until 2027 when I should have more print merits and won't have to use more than the mandatory service and education merits. The other consideration is that I won't be attending the annual convention where the designations are presented this year so I wouldn't be present to recieve it. It's quite likely that I'll be attending next year.

So I have until February 12th to make up my mind. 😵‍💫
