Are you asking yourself, "How can she take this photo?" I guess that's a good question.

First of all, I needed to take it. Secondly, sometimes it's so much easier for me to deal with something if I'm looking through my lens.

My mother never expected to be sitting watching her son die, but she is, at the age of 82, doing just that. They've reconciled a lifetime of separation in just a few days and this image breaks my heart for that reason.

A not so pretty slice of Toronto's history.

The riot at Christie pits shows a darker side of Toronto history, a side which is often left forgotten. Thousands of dollars have been put towards signs, art, and plaques that stop us from forgetting Garrison Creek, a creek that was buried underground, and now flows underneath Christie Pits. There is not even a single plaque that brings to light that the Christie Pits riot took place.

One of two shoots today, this one at the TTC yards, where we got a chance to use the old Peter Witt streetcar as a backdrop for one of the trading cards. P.C. Kris McCarthy on Bobby is dressed in a vintage police uniform and helmet from the 20's.

We had about ten minutes before the storm hit, it absolutely poured down.

P.C. Jill Finley and police mount Sabre. The R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is both a crucial piece of infrastructure and an architecturally acclaimed historic building. It is located in the east of the city along the shore of Lake Ontario.

The plant was built between 1932 and 1941 and is named after the long time commissioner of Toronto's public works Rowland Caldwell Harris. The building, unlike most modern engineering structures, was also created to make an architectural statement. Fashioned in the Art Deco style, the cathedral-like structure remains one of Toronto's most admired buildings. It is, however, little known to outsiders. The interiors are just as opulent with marble entryways and vast halls filled with pools of water and filtration equipment. The plant has thus earned the nickname The Palace of Purification.
