Three short days of work and Rennie Taylor, Julian Lynn and myself have restored this old sculpture which was made by Peter Dickinson (architect in the 1950-60s. Being a replica made in 1954, this beaut has had a few paint jobs over the past 64 years. I'm proud to say I got to be a part of this and got a chance to keep some Toronto history alive. Finished 2 weeks ago.

Been a while and apologize for it, but being sick for the past week has made me unmotivated. (Lack of doing art/posting art). But looking at some photographs I took in April and May, I thought would be good to post some of these that didn't make it to the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival.

Finally got to sign the Stanley Cup of Fine Arts, the FASSIE Mascot! I've waited two years for this and honestly when it happened I was totally stunned. In the last two years I've learned so much and grown not only as an artist, but also as an individual. I'm very thankful for all my friends/ classmates and teachers who made this all possible.

These are the three images I captured for ClixPhotography contest. The first two are squared while the last image is Vertical, all were taken as Monochromatic images (B&W). I prefer to take some photos in B&W, because sometimes the colours are unnecessary/ can take away from the image. Plus the contrast is explosive.

2) After A Long Day
3) Lost In His Work
