01.11.10Agency ArtOver the last few years, with the emergence of Adbase and other list services, Ad Agencies have been bombarded by email and direct mail blasts from thousands of photographers. I'm just as guilty as the rest of them (I do, however, edit my lists thoroughly), but I've seen it as a necessary evil to help maintain my profile amongst creatives. So during the last year, I've been looking at new ways to reach agency creatives. About a year ago, my friend Tory Osler at Bijou Editorial, called me asking if I'd be interested in hanging some of my photos in her ...

04.10.09Roger Ballen Artist’s Talk and Book SigningLast Wednesday, we had the pleasure of having Roger Ballen in town to give a talk at the OCAD concerning his new book: Boarding House. The event was well attended, and it was great to see many of my favorite photo industry friends there as well. There are few of these quality photography events in the city (wake-up Contact!), and it was a real pleasure to share it with my contemporaries. Boarding House is Ballen's follow-up book to the acclaimed Outland and Shadow Chamber. It captures an imaginary space of transient residence, of comings and goings, focusing on its evocative ...
