If you are from out of town, consider visiting Toronto in May. It’s a great time to plan an art-related visit.

“Photography is all about manipulation, and as it’s evolved, it’s become more manipulative in every way. I’ve never seen photography as a truthful medium. It’s about individual perceptions of reality, and that’s what people want to see.”
-British fashion photographer Nick Knight, in the New York Times.
