News outlets have reported on an Instagram account @TTCWomen, bringing up concerns about women safety and privacy. I’m annoyed by a couple of things: the account, and the lazy and hypocritical media (as well as my photos being used without permission by both sides). 140 characters isn’t enough to vent my frustration, so I wrote a blog post instead.

Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair Photo Published in Toronto Life Magazine
For whatever reason, I never made a post about Toronto Life publishing my photo of Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair last June. They said the photo would be used in a stylized collage, so I was little worried, but I think it came out nicely.

I chose to mount on foamboard for my Library exhibit because it sounded like a fun and interesting project – it was definitely interesting, but not so fun at times. Read More
TIFF 2012
So TIFF has come and gone this year. Overall, I wasn’t as happy as years past. This year I was focusing on gala’s instead of waiting at hotels. Mostly due to back and knee issues, I can’t stand on my feet for 12hrs any longer, but also because the TIFF organizers are making it more difficult to find celebrities throughout the city.
Here are some of my favorites from TIFF this year.
