The Brides’ Ballet: Tell Us Which You Prefer and Win a Fine-Art Print!
Which do you prefer? The colour or black & white treatment of The Brides’ Ballet? I personally can’t decide. I love them both. This image was created just a few weeks ago in the heart of downtown Toronto, Canada. We’re having a contest. Tell me which version you like best and why, by posting a [...]
"Local" – a magazine for the Beaches and Leslieville neighbourhoods of Toronto
Sitting down with a good cup of java while pouring through magazines is one of life’s simple pleasures. Local Magazine is available in the Beaches and Leslieville neighbourhoods of Toronto. Editor Sarah Dann is the brains behind it, and I think it’s great. I contributed one of my Winter Series Beaches neighbourhood images to the [...]
This Is It: Michael Jackson
This post has nothing to do with photography, but it does deal with documenting family heritage. I approach photographing family events, from weddings to family portraits, with the point of telling a story. The following post is pertinent. While I was making television shows for MuchMoreMusic, I produced a documentary on The Jacksons. I was [...]

War and Cheese in Kensington Market
I was in Kensington Market this morning. What has happened to that neighbourhood? I’ve always liked the graffiti and colours of Kensington, but today, what jumped out is that it’s looking rundown. Maybe the grey, wet morning had something to do with it. But still. Walking past a shop with a box full of kid-sized [...]
That One Photograph is Priceless
On a recent visit to see my mom, I was so taken with how time has changed her. As we grow older the physical change is so subtle and over such a long period, we don’t notice it. Some people seem to hardly change, but trust me, they’re changing. Our first year of life we [...]
U.S. President Barack H. Obama
What an important day in history. Watching President-Elect Obama’s inauguration today it was evident that while the U.S.A. has come a long way, it has a long way to go. President Obama has a lot of work ahead of him. His speech today was full of hope, but it was also somber, and that is [...]
It's Official: I've been Twitterized
For the last few weeks or so, I’ve been playing around with Twitter. Sometimes there will be things I’d like to bring you up to date on, but it’s not really something that I want to put in a blog post. So what I’ve done is added Twitter Updates to the sidebar in my blog. [...]
How was your first week of 2009?
Things seem to have transpired so quickly these past few months. We’re already about to wrap the first full week of the new year. Where did 2008 go? We all know the year ended with uncertainty due to an impending international economic crisis. More than ever before, people expect professionalism, quality and personal attention when [...]
RSS vs. Email
For those not familiar with RSS, trust me, you’re going to love it. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. When most of my blog readers were subscribing via regular email, a few would tell me that I was sending them a lot of emails. Thing was, I was only blogging up to 3x a month! [...]
