I love revisiting an old shoot that I just never got around to processing. It’s like finding clothes that you bought and never wore in the back of your closet. Our trip to BC last year is like that; I’ve processed it in bits and pieces but never really looked at the whole thing. This…

This piece is probably the most popular piece of visual art I have ever made: The piece is called ‘The Red Girl’ and her name is Dinah. This is how the piece came about. In 2007 my mom had to undergo surgery and it was a very difficult year for our family. When the surgery…

Has anyone else noticed how much the nature of work has changed for them in the past few years? This summer my boss, and most of my clients, worked while on vacation. A few weeks ago I was sick; I worked from home. I take my midday meal at a working lunch and frequently work…

Mono Cliffs is a provincial park located in the town of Mono, about 1.5 hours drive from Toronto. The park is part of the Niagara Escarpment and contains a portion of the Bruce Trail. Tito and I decided to drive up for a day hike – couldn’t have picked a better spot. I only visited…

This year I tried something a little different, just for fun: Here’s how you get the effect – take multiple shots…

As part of Toronto ramping up for the 2015 Pan Am Games they’ve participated in an international project call ‘Play Me, I’m Yours.’ The project involves putting pianos in public spaces, and has already been through 26 cities around the world. Each piano is painted by a local artist, and they’re all beautiful. This piano…

I’ve been bad to the blog, I know. It’s been a while since I posted and I’d like to say it’s because I’ve been having a fabulous time on vacation somewhere, but it’s because I’ve been working like mad. I missed all kinds of things this summer, I might just have to throw a party…

The photo is one I took of the 2 sisters roving I’m working on, and I found the quote online – feel free to click on it for a bigger version, enjoy! Here’s something else I learned from a friend, quoted from wikipedia: The charkha (etymologically related to Chakra) was both a tool and a symbol of the Indian…
