Chuck's Hat

Today in front of Dollorama on Rideau Street. I told Chuck I loved his hat and he said - " Everybody loves my hat. I got it at  Sally Ann on Montreal Rd and only paid $8.00 for it." He shook my hand and started pulling me in for a hug and I said - "sorry Chuck I don't hug"

Leo

This is Leo. Ran into him at the Mackemzie King Bridge selling his tiny sculptures and jewelry. He says to me that - when he was well in the head he walked from Manitoba to Ottawa, it took him 3 years. Now, he says he's not well in the head because of problems with the government and politics.

On The Road

Gord Brown from Thunderbay

Met Gord sitting at the corner of Dalhousie and George St. yesterday. I told him I had never seen such white legs and he said " Give me a break I just spent 17 days in the hospital." Gord had a seizure, fell and ripped his arm and leg. He was flown from Thunderbay to Ottawa. They took skin grafts from his hips to patch-up his leg and arm. " They're growing my skin right this minute in the hospital! There's another me growing in the hospital!!" I asked if he could walk ok and Gord said "sure, if I had my walker, but somebody just stole my walker"

Amanda

Amanda and her decoy geese. Saw her walking down Robinson Ave. with 5 decoy geese like it was nothing. Thinking to myself that this is not nothing I had to ask her if I could take her picture and tell me about the geese. She bought them at Walmart on sale for $250.00 each, makes jerky with the geese she kills, hunts with a few other buddies, lies on the ground hiding in a cami blanket and when the geese fly over her she comes out of the blanket and shoots her shotgun.

S O M E Extraordinary art from the graduating BFA class - Ottawa U - 2018

On April 25, the 2018 graduates from the University of Ottawa’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program will open a five-day exhibition of their artistic works. VOIX is a student curated and organized  exhibition showcasing the work of twenty-eight emerging artists, who will transform the Department of Visual Arts’ building into an exhibition space.
With the theme of VOIX (translated to "voice" from french), each artist is presenting their work illustrating their voice through a visual representation. Each artist’s voice has been developed during the course of the program, and refined over this final year to create the focused works presented this April. Our exhibition will include a variety of mediums including painting, photography, media, drawing, and sculpture.
