Marc Polidoro laughed the entire time he was being interviewed. “Is sponsoring TASTE! a celebration of regional cuisine that amusing?” I wondered. No, but that’s just how Polidoro sees life. He simply thrives on “great things like favourite events and people” and his photography reflects his joie de vivre. “Capturing the essence of candid moments, making the shot interesting and fun” is how Polidoro defines his work.

The background noises during his phone interview reveal that Polidoro is near water, touring around on a boat or, perhaps, lounging at the dock. He laughs and confesses that he is taking advantage of a gorgeous County day. He exuberantly admits that he is captivated by “… the lakes, the dunes, the people, and the food.” Polidoro’s love of all-things County began when he was a boy spending his summer vacations at the family’s Prince Edward County trailer. Over time, he made friends at the beaches and worked at County restaurants.

Why sponsor the TASTE! event? “The people, the food, the community—it sums it all up. The fact that I get to be involved is a privilege.” His tone becomes briefly serious and he adds, “I didn’t think twice [about sponsorship]. The County has so much to offer.” Polidoro also acknowledges the endorsement that County residents have offered his photography business. “There’s been great community support for my business. We’re supporting each other.”

We say good bye so he can get back to his County day in the sun on the surf.
