On Wednesday, February 28, 2024, beginning at 5:30 PM EST, a private celebration of my new solo Project T-Dot art exhibit at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport took place in the airport terminal’s atrium, which was remarkable considering that flights were arriving and departing at the airport during the event.

On Monday, September 23, 2024, during the afternoon, I had the honour of facilitating a personalized tour of my new solo Project T-Dot Art Exhibit at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport for Toronto’s 66th Mayor, Olivia Chow.

Since the first week of August 2024, a 15-second cut of the short film I directed and produced on my new solo Project T-Dot art exhibit at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport has frequently been streaming, sometimes every minute, 24 hours per day, seven days per week, at hundreds of locations throughout the Greater Toronto Area, including but not limited to all Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) stations, and most of the highrise elevators in the Greater Toronto Area, thanks to a recent partnership I formed with the good people at PATTISON Outdoor Advertising.

When I began my photography journey at eleven with a Canon ELPH point-and-shoot camera, I had no idea what a Canon Canada ambassador was or that Canon had a Canadian division.

My new solo Project T-Dot art exhibit at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, based on my 18-year-old documentary project on Toronto’s hip-hop culture, community, and history, has been open to the general public for approximately four months in the airport terminal’s atrium. I am honoured to share a short film on the exhibit that many skilled people contributed to.

When I first began learning about the art and science of photography and how to shoot and develop film using SLR cameras, first through the Toronto School of Art as a twelve-year-old among adults and soon after as a teenage visual arts major through the once highly competitive Claude Watson Arts Program at Earl Haig Secondary School, I was satisfied with sharing my work with my classmates, a handful of close friends, and my parents.

On Wednesday, January 24, 2024, I woke up at approximately 6:00 AM EST to prepare for the media event on behalf of my new solo Project T-Dot art exhibit at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, which showcases my 18-year-old documentary project on Toronto’s hip-hop culture, community, and history.

I am honoured and grateful to announce that Nieuport Aviation presents my second solo Project T-Dot art exhibit at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Proudly sponsored by Sony Music Entertainment Canada and part of the CONTACT Photography Festival’s 2024 programming, it is located past the airport’s underground tunnel, specifically in its terminal atrium.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my career, especially in recent years, has been contributing to the Canon FUTURES program as a mentor.

Through Corus Entertainment and Boat Rocker Media, the new scripted television series Robyn Hood, a modern adaptation of the classic Robyn Hood myth, debuted this Wednesday, September 27, 2023, at 10:00 PM EST via Global TV and Stack TV.

During the evening of Friday, June 30, 2023, I attended Socality and Canon Creator Lab’s second Sail Into Summer event.

On Saturday, June 24, 2023, in collaboration with the good people at Festivals of Vaughn, I documented the first Hot In Herre festival, which took place at Toronto’s spacious Downsview Park. 

This year is Canon Canada’s 50th anniversary, and I am thrilled to be a Canon Canada ambassador after renewing my contract for the second time this spring. 

On Thursday, May 4, 2023, I was part of a fantastic panel entitled Feeling To Healing: A Creator’s Journey To Better Mental Health, produced by the Henry’s Foundation in partnership with CAMH: The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, which took place at Henry’s new location at 185 Church Street in Toronto.

Applications for the third year of Canon’s FUTURES program are now available here via the Canon Creator Lab until Friday, June 30, 2023.

On Tuesday, March 28, 2023, I had the honour of speaking as part of a panel for the first Indigenous Hip-Hop Symposium, an event at and via the Art Gallery of Ontario, thanks to my thoughtful and innovative AGO colleagues Audrey Hudson, Richard & Elizabeth Currie, Chief, Education & Programming, and Charlotte Big Canoe, Program Curator, Indigenous Projects.

If left to my own devices, and when different forms of stress lead me to forget much of what I have learned about embodying a positive mindset, I can lack gratitude for the overabundance of blessings in my life.

On Sunday, January 22, 2023, I attended the last half of Socality And Canon Creator Lab’s Toronto Creative Experience at OBJX Studio via Canon Canada to support my colleagues and clients, to interact with and learn from the fantastic community that Socality has created, and to practice my photojournalistic skills.
