This week I attended an important rally outside of Osgoode Hall. The David Suzuki Foundation was in court arguing that the government needs to recognize the current climate crisis we are facing. Instead? The gov’t is spending our money, in a time of austerity, on stickers that lie to us on gas pumps. For a […]
It was all fun and games when one of my framed artworks mysteriously came off its metal hooks and chains at the notably haunted Mackenzie House the first time, unbroken, but now that it has come off the chains for a second time and smashed? Well now I’m not sure what to make of the […]
In an ongoing series of mine, I photograph the changes that occur in the century old low-rise I live in. Over time, I have accumulated some interesting artifacts from within (and just without) its walls.

It is the first time a Prime Minister has sat down with Toronto’s mayor since amalgamation in 1998. As history was being made today, I couldn’t possibly stay away.

He was the first man on the planet to shoot moving images from a plane, and shot the first ever aerial photographs of Toronto. He moved […]
For over two years I have been attempting to bring Toronto back to the future with my series, The Past is Never Far. The series explores a then and now history of Toronto in a way never seen before. Artists have presented past and present side by side, we’ve seen them photoshop images together, and […]
