<p>The Four is a collaboration project which will incorporate photos, poetry and/or a prose response to a bi-weekly challenge. Every second Sunday, we will respond to the challenge and post our results.&nbsp; We will be taking turns issuing the challenges and are excited to see how our interpretations work together.</p>
<p>We are four Canadians living in four diverse regions living four distinct lives. Connected by a love of photography, a desire for deeper expression, belief in the power of collaboration and heart's connection. Please click on our individual portraits to view our biographies.</p>
