In the course of my career I've worked with many stars, starting in my early teens when I was working at a high end men's shop that dressed a lot of them. My 1st introduction to the reality of celebrity was the male lead of the hottest TV show at the time. Stumbling in with a half drunk … [Read more...]
Time to Think Pink
Cancer sucks. I lost two more vibrant friends last month, and to be honest I'm getting sick of it. Sick of watching family and friends stand up fiercely and sometimes win the fight, and sometimes succumb to defeat. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I know we get … [Read more...]
30 Seconds with… The Musicians
Back on the carpet I started wondering: with 3 very different musical groups, and 3 vastly different musical styles, how different would their answers be to the same question, "what advice do you have for new performers?" The sultry Latina singer Amanda Martinez went first. "I would … [Read more...]
30 Seconds with…Eva Link, Allie McDonald and Natalie Lisinska
Eva Link was one of this year's TIFF Rising Stars, so I guess I expected a lot from her when I asked if she had advice for young performers. "Just keep at it. Honestly? Like, if you love it enough? Then it'll happen. I think a lot of it, like, has to do with luck. I … [Read more...]
30 Seconds with… Zaib Shaikh and Marla Black
CBC celebs abound, so I knew it was just a matter of time until one of the stars from Little Mosque on the Prairie showed up, and Zaib Shaikh didn't let me down. You're going into your last season, what happens next? "Life after Little Mosque? What does that stand for? … [Read more...]

30 Seconds with…Heather Hiscox
"I was bound for law school but I thought, what a fun summer job." That's how Heather Hiscox explains how she ended up as one of the most beloved members of the media. "I was a disc jockey at CFOS in Owen Sound. $4.50/hour and all the records you could eat, as we used to say … [Read more...]
30 Seconds with Anne-Marie Mediwake
Being on a red carpet is always a bit frenetic, especially at TIFF. Cameras are snapping, flashes are flying and handlers are ushering the VIPs in and out of the "step and repeat" faster than a Wyoming cattle call. So what do you ask when you have less than 30 seconds? The default is to … [Read more...]
TIFF, TIFF, TIFF
There are 2 TIFFs in my life: as a photographer, there's the Tagged Image File Format. As a movie goer, there's the Toronto International Film Festival. I used to work in a men's clothing store and would dress the celebs who came to town. It was fun, it was exciting, and it was … [Read more...]
A Memorial in Chalk
It's been almost a week since Jack Layton's funeral, and I thought it would be intersting to visit the chalk memorial that's been created at Toronto's City Hall. They tell me it's coming down on Tuesday, so I thought I'd share some of the images with you. … [Read more...]
