This was my first Salvation Army Christmas. An opportunity to visit and soak up the Army at work as it prepared for its busiest time of year.
I had my digital camera and camcorder with me. Digital pictures and video are ideal tools to capture the essence of the Salvation Army—the grass roots good works, the passionate volunteers and the people being helped. The lives influenced and changed. And recollections of how the Army made a difference in someone’s life years ago that helped transform them into who they are today.
The Salvation Army is rich in stories at Christmas-time. The challenge is covering a vast source of content across the Maritimes with limited resources.
Much of the Maritime Salvation Army Christmas story isn’t represented here. However, this 8 minute video is an attempt to provide a snapshot of what “giving hope today” is all about at this time of year.
I think you’ll see why I’m inspired to continue documenting as much of the whole picture as I can.
