    Honorable Mention in People / Children

This was was part of a challenge to produce a photograph only using $5 as the prop. I took orange paint to put on a Canadian Maple Leaf Pinwheel. Then I had my kid hold the pinwheel. My purpose was to present what the Indigenous children at the Canadian Residental Schools never would have been allowed to play with in reality.

Photographer who explores Toronto and the world with my son or by myself to capture the photos I see. I create every day with my photographs by walking the streets of the city. Love to just support an area of the city by blasting photographs of the BIAs. I also love the various Street Galleries that presented Toronto Art in the Street by photographing it for the world to see it as I do. Lot of my photographs are taken on the street of people and objects. I chase light and shadows on how it my play on my subjects. Nature has also been explored in my city with all the beautiful parks.
