Ramin Izadpanah is an Ottawa-based photographer and educator whose work is rooted in observation, light, and the poetry of everyday moments. His photographic journey has evolved from nature and wildlife to urban and fine-art photography, with a deep fascination for monochrome, shadow, geometry, and the unexpected. For Ramin, photography is more than capturing a moment – it is about discovering a different way of seeing and inviting others to see it too.
Do you have photographic equipment sitting in your closet or hiding in a box in your basement? How about that slightly used camera bag that you thought you absolutely needed for that vacation trip ten years ago? What about all those lenses, filters, tubes, etc. that do not fit any of your new cameras? Let’s not even think about those stacks of photographic magazines!!!
Here’s your opportunity to do a little housekeeping so that you can make room for all the new camera equipment you absolutely must have.
Bring your unused photographic paraphernalia to the November 6 th , 2026 KSCCC Members’ meeting. Tables will be set up at the back of the room. Just drop them off for our annual “Give-Away” during our coffee break.
Remember, if your items are not taken, you must take them back home with you as we have no capacity to store them.
