About This Work
“With this image I wanted to highlight the interesting intersection where King and Cross Sts. meet at an angle; to try to capture the way the architecture against the towering escarpment backdrop conjures up that quaint village feel of Dundas.”

Together they formed Reading Pictures, an innovative multi-media organization providing consultation and production services.
