I know, I was on a roll there and then I disappeared again. I have a proper excuse this time though, I’m sick.

In the meantime, it’s my dog’s birthday today. He’s 2. He’s a man now.

Happy Birthday Moose!

Have you picked up the April issue of The Walrus yet? You should. Aside from quality writing on nice paper-stock, this issue also features my Walrus debut, something I’m excited about.

My assignment was to shoot a mosque located a few minutes north of the city. After some trial and error I discovered two things: boots would have been a good idea, and sometimes you have to run 100 feet into a snowy field to get the Canadiana inspired shot you want. Thank you wool socks. Oh and Brian Morgan for the assignment!

Check out the story here.

Check out this week’s Eye Weekly for a nice little interview piece with Hunter Tura, President & CEO of Bruce Mau Design here in Toronto. Though it may be competing with Medieval Times, I do have a portrait on that there page.

These were all shot in and around the Bruce Mau offices on a balmy (well, above freezing temperatures at least) Friday afternoon. Though he’s a recent transplant to the city, and to Canada, Hunter appears to (somehow) be a Leaf fan, which can only be a good thing. Also, he’s like 6’4” so I wouldn’t want to say anything bad about him.

I should probably stop promising any form of regular updates since each time I do, even more time passes between posts. Having said that, I swear I should have a few updates in more rapid succession in the next week or so.

First up, here’s some portraits I did of a nice gal named Tiffany a week or two ago. She lives in a nice building and will rent you movies.
