Joined at the rib - Report on Business Magazine

I took this shot of Gerry Sheff (left) and Ira Gluskin a couple of weeks ago for the Globe and Mail’s Report on Business Magazine. Every photo shoot is an adventure. You go prepared and with an idea of what you want to capture—and then you go and make it happen. You meet the most fascinating people, and for a day or two, you get to glimpse their world. It’s always interesting to head down to the financial district and take a look around (though I have to remember to turn off my headphones in the echoey elevators and not rumple my crisp shirt).

You can find the full article here. And shout-outs to Clare Jordan for the gig—amazing fun.

Punk Rock Pathetic

After spending the afternoon at the Riverdale Art Walk, Dar and I dropped by an art event at Knox  called “Rezound”.  I contributed the above photos for the Rezound zine.  The words are by Emily from an article that she wrote about the Clash for Geez Magazine last year called Punk Rock Pathetic.  As you can probably tell I am really liking overlaying Helvetica Bold over my photos these days.  

Tear Sheets from TV Week Magazine

Mi-Jung was kind of enough to send me her copy of TV Week Magazine.  Last month my photos of Mi-Jung and the children were featured as a cover story in the Vancouver based publication.  The article is about our trip with World Vision to Brazil and the Vancouver Campaign for Children.  It is really great to see my photos used to tell the stories of these amazing kids.

Let Us Prey

The Report on Business Magazine shoot I did earlier this month was terribly fun. Sinclair Stewart’s article Let Us Prey is about the rise and fall of the celebrity CEO. Find it in today’s supplement in the Globe and Mail.

Some love from CTV,

CTV BC  has posted a web gallery of my photos from Brazil.  I was there this past December shooting for the Vancouver Campaign for Children. The picture above was shot in the home of one of the poorest families I have ever met.  The visit was quite heartbreaking especially when this little one flashed me such a playful look.  Mi Jung Lee (a CTV news anchor) tells the story best here.

I also encourage you to watch the videos on the main page.  They do a good job of showing what the conditions are like in the favelas where the children live and how World Vision is helping to make a difference.

Bread for BlogTO

Emily is writing a weekly review of a Toronto bakery for BlogTO and I’m shooting the photos. You can check them out here every Thursday.  It’s been quite exciting to go around the city discovering new treats. One of my favourite bakeries that we’ve been  is Pain Perdu up at St. Clair and Christie.  There you’ll find the some of the most delicious French Toast the city has to offer.  Yum.

Emily on the keys

The experience of working with a such a friend is more wonderful than words.  Everything becomes an adventure, the difficult becomes hilarious, and the joy even more awesome.  

Love, meat, sandwiches.
