People gathered along University Avenue to watch the funeral procession.  Some were wearing stick-on moustaches.

I haven’t read a count of how many people gathered outside of Roy Thompson Hall to watch the funeral, but I’m going to guess it was a lot.

RIP Jack.

It’s quite amazing.  Almost all of Nathan Philips Square is covered in chalk messages to Jack, and today there were hundreds of people lined up for a public viewing inside city hall.

Like I said, almost every part of Nathan Philips Square is covered in chalk:

There is also a growing memorial of flowers, notes, gifts, and orange Crush cans:

Tomorrow there will be a state funeral held at Roy Thompson Hall.

You can also check out the pictures I took of him last year while filming CBC’s Make the Politician Work.

The series takes Canadian politicians and puts them in workplaces related directly to their own areas of responsibility and for which they set policies.  I worked on both episodes of this series that were filmed in Ontario.  The first, filmed in 2009, was with Minister of National Defence Peter Mackay at military training camp.  The second episode, filmed in 2010, featured NPD Leader Jack Layton working in the emergency room of St. Joseph’s Healthcare in Hamilton, Ont.

I loved working on this show because of how different it was to normal film shoots.  No takes, no waiting around while lights are being set up and actors are being staged.  It was a really lively, fast-paced set.  Everything happened once, and only once, and you had to capture it or it was  too late.  I shot the images of Jack Layton in the ER through a doorway with dozens of people moving around, trying to find a clear shot of Jack without getting in anyone’s way.  Lots of fun!

Lately I’ve been focusing mainly on the new editorial collection.  I currently have 76 editorial files for sale on iStockPhoto, out of 658 total portfolio images.  My goal for this year is to add 1000 new images to my portfolio.

I’ve added more from the G20 protests:

And some from a recent trip to the Dominican Republic:

You can view more of my editorial images here!

All of these images (and more from the series) can be purchased as PRINTS from my PhotoShelter site.   Many are also available for licensing via iStockPhoto.

Someone purchased the left image on canvas at 36″ X 54″.  It’s huge!  I will attempt to get a picture of it on the wall.

Here are some pictures from the Kenneyville premiere on October 28th, 2010 at The Royal in Toronto.

(Look familiar?)

A bunch of protesters showed up at the theatre…

After the premiere, there was a Q&A with the cast and crew, and then everyone headed to Tattoo Rock Parlour on Queen West for the after party.

I love this cast & crew picture.  From L-R, Nick Maiorino (Marshall), Alexander Narizini (Art Director), Kelsey Oluk (Kim), Dylan Argument (Sound Mixer), Irena Angeloutsa (Victoria), Brooks Hunter (Writer/Producer/Director), Vincent Galvez (Writer/Producer), and Josef Malonzo (Ben).

Oh wait nevermind it was the 2010 Toronto Zombie Walk! (Boooo.) Here are some pictures from the Zombie Walk this afternoon. For previous years’ pictures, click here.

You can view the full set on Flickr.

So if you’re in Toronto and someone wearing a pink wig hands you a postcard with a picture of Erin & Mike or David Peterson on it, now you know who took the pictures!  You can check out the rest of the campaign at areyourunning.ca.   The run is on October 3rd this year!

Fun with hair!

There are a few more on Flickr.

I’m heading to Scotland in a few hours.  In the meantime, check out the new additions to my iStockPhoto portfolio!
