CBC's winter season is about to start and they asked me to come in and chat with some of their stars. Adam Beach is a familiar face on both sides of the border, with am impressive resume ranging from North of 60 to Flags of our Fathers; yet somehow the first thing I ask him about is … [Read more...]
Not So Sour Grapes
A lot of people came down hard on the Grapes in 2011. But the funny thing is, when I sat down with Don Cherry, it wasn't a loud-mouthed lout I was chatting with, rather a laid back, relaxed guy, who reminded me an awful lot of my father-in-law. I came with a list of questions from … [Read more...]
American Idiot
Last night I was photographing the opening of American Idiot in Toronto. It's very rare that I come out of a show speechless, but in this case, I did. One of my fellow UrbanMoms asked if that was a good thing. In my 140 character tweet, I answered "it's exuberant, … [Read more...]
Can You Guess the Carol?
I'm taking a little time off for the holidays (at least until the opening of American Idiot on the 29th.) But I thought I'd leave you with something fun. I love Christmas Quizzes and here's one of our family's favourites, Guess The Carol:1. Move hitherward the entire assembly … [Read more...]

While we're all caught up in trying to find the present and working ourselves into a lather about ornaments and teacher's gifts, this is probably a good time for a deep breath and a dose of reality. 2 of my favourite artists, Kedre Browne and Jessey Pacho, want to remind us that there are a lot … [Read more...]
How’s Holiday Customer Service in the Marketplace?
Now that the holiday shopping season is in full swing, I thought it might be prudent to get some advice on customer service. And who better to ask than the hosts of CBC's Marketplace, Erica Johnson and Tom Harrington. Erica: Can we just start with your shoes? Now that we've got the … [Read more...]
When The Media Gets Ugly
Most photographers are pretty decent people. In media scrums, we're all trying to do our job and get "the shot", and we usually work together and help each other out. But then there's them. Let's call them Captain Hook and Cruella DeVil. They work together and everyone … [Read more...]
Breaking Dawn: Part 1
Ok, I'll admit it: I loved the Twilight books. When I first read them, I had a newborn and I lustily devoured them during nap times and between feeding (pun intended.) They were the perfect escape from sleepless nights, baby spew splattered sweats and endless diaper changes. So, of … [Read more...]
5 Things About Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins, the stage musical, opened in Toronto earlier this week. With 12 Canadians in the cast, opening night felt a bit like old home week. It's a wonderful theatrical experience, and I encourage everyone to see it, but there are a few things you should know before you … [Read more...]
