Herb Addington was a member of both the Rotary Club of Vancouver South and the Rotary Club of Vancouver Arbutus. In his memory we set up this scholarship programme 20 years ago. This year's winner of the Herb Addington bursary is Jordan Keller.
Jordan has lived her whole life in Chilliwack surrounded by gorgeous scenery. Her desire to capture and share with others the feeling of being in nature led her to photography. A camera was her first big purchase from saving her allowance. In grade 12 she realized she could pursue photography professionally. After some research she found Langara College's photography programme which teaches not only creative and technical aspect but also entrepreneurship, all of which are seen as vital skills needed for a person to be a professional photographer.
Since graduating in April 2019, Jordan has started her own wedding photography business based in Vancouver. She has been busy with weddings every weekend so far, and has also kept very busy on weekdays with editing and meetings.
Jordan is very thankful for the bursary from our club which has made it possible for her to purchase necessary equipment for her new career.
