TLTV Ep 113 – Path To The Airport
Along the Etobicoke Creek is a little-known path that leads to Pearson International Airport, Canada’s largest airport. It’s hard to believe that such a massive airport could be right next to such a nice tree-covered path, but it’s there. You can walk right up to the airport’s fence and watch airplanes take off right over you. At this point in the year, the path is lined with tons of purple flowers. Check it out…

TLTV Ep 112 (Boxing – Ringside For Kids) is now online!
Episode 112 is made up of photography we provided for CESBA’s (The Canadian Emergency Services Boxing Association’s) 2011 Police Memorial, known as “Ringside For Kids”. At this annual event, held in Mississauga, Police and Peace Officers from across Ontario step into the boxing ring against each other to raise money for charity, in honour and remembrance of the brave officers who lost their lives in the line of duty while protecting their communities and our nation. To find out more about CESBA, please visit www.CESBA.ca.
Proceeds from this event went to support of Camp Oochigeas, a camp for children affected by childhood cancers. Camp Ooch provides fun and meaningful experiences to approximately 680 children affected by cancer each year at no cost to their families. This is all made possible by the generous support of donors and volunteers. For more information on Camp Ooch, please visit www.Ooch.org.

TLTV Ep 111 (Fashion Week in Toronto) is now online!
Fashion Week took place in Toronto recently. Simply put, it blew us away! It is a completely different experience being in attendance at a runway show than seeing it on tv. The atmosphere in the room can be downright electric, and it makes for some incredible videography. In addition to filming many runway shows we also interviewed a great designer backstage and interviewed numerous interesting people we met at the show. The full videos of these shows and interviews can be found on the YouTube page of our friends from “The I On Fashion”. You can check it out at www.youtube.com/user/theionfashion.
In this video we’ll take a look at some of the highlights from Fashion Week, including the models getting made-up backstage and then strutting their stuff in some of the best runway shows of the week. Enjoy!

I Photographed The Prime Minister Of Canada Today
Met Prime Minister Stephen Harper today. Got to photograph him and the MBOT/BBOT executives in a VIP room. Then was part of the media scrum to photograph/film his speech to the massive luncheon crowd of business leaders.
I’m not a big fan of the dude (I’m a Liberal), but gotta say that in person he was thoughtful, well-spoken and modest, and even had a sense of humour (gasp!).
I was quite busy photographing him during his speech, but I did catch 4 points he made that caught my attention and got lots of applause:
- Canada has the strongest economy and banking sector of any country in the G20
- His government will not put money into building new sports stadiums
- His government wants to make sure more kids get schooling in the arts
- He said “Have you ever gotten into a cab in Canada and it is being driven by a doctor or engineer that emigrated to Canada? That is a waste of training and resources.” He said that he wants to make sure that people with education and skills gained in other countries can put those skills to work here much more than they can now.
I never thought I’d agree with four things that Stephen Harper said, but today proved me wrong!
Take care,
– John
