The front cover of issue number 75 of the Canadian photography magazine, PhotoED. The issue's theme is "Movement."

Issue 75 of @photoeditorial.bsky.social is now available and it's beautiful. I'm chuffed to have two articles in this issue, one on the border-related projects of Ruth Kaplan and Isabelle Hayeur, as well as one on the public Photo Walk developed by the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa.

Try to be strong. You can do this!

Thanks for your comment. The outdoor shots help set the context and the book moves from the outside, in. I made most of the photos inside the Commons itself, thanks to a written agreement with the Speaker that allowed me to photograph throughout the building (with relatively few limitations).

A view of two pages of the handmade photobook of my project on Canada's House of Commons.

I'm reviewing the book I made at the end of my MA in Doc Photo. The book contains many photographs and a contextual essay.

Photographed in and around Canada's House of Commons, my project points to the need to update our institutions to better meet the challenges now facing liberal democracies.

There is likely another factor: Québec can better protect its distinctives within Canada than it could as a small state facing the U.S. alone.

It's always great to receive another beautiful copy of PhotoED Magazine, even if delayed by Canada Post. But it's all the sweeter when you've got a byline in the issue!

As World Press Photo turns 70, is it time for photojournalism to move forward from a history of harm? The sought after award is celebrating its anniversary with an introspective exhibition—but questions remain about its value in today’s world

El Zein Khouri: “The problem is when people of any background are bringing their implicit biases and lack of knowledge and or understanding to the visual work they’re doing. That is how stereotypes, inaccuracies and damaging visual rhetoric are made and then globally circulated as fact...”

Jen Gerson: Maybe this angry panel will fix it! Alberta tries for Round 3 of the Fair Deal panel.

Good column.

Overdue, and filled with conclusions a lot of people arrived at many, many months ago, but hey, credit where it's due.

What do Trump and Hegseth’s inflammatory speeches to military generals signal? | Moira Donegan

Glad to say that the article is better than the silly headline. Trump and Co. are preparing the U.S. for soldiers in the streets and martial law. Bye-bye mid-terms...

Photo of the U.S. military leaders listening to Trump in silence.

Hey Canada, Trump brought up his whole “Canada should be the 51st State” again today, for the first time in a while, to a room full of all the top-ranked military leaders in the United States.

I’m sure that’s a coincidence. Right?

Trump’s visit revealed a stark truth: Britain feels more than ever like a country stuck in the past | Simon Jenkins The pageantry highlighted the fact that we have no vision for our future, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

"The historical archaism of British government is ingrained. [...] Debates are ill-attended and pointless. Select committees are lacking in authority. The House of Lords is virtually immune to reform."

Good to know that Canada is immune to all this. Right? Right?

I'm still processing the last two weeks, which consisted of a bookmaking workshop in Cardiff, followed by my MA Doc Photo degree show in Bethnal Green, London.

I plan to rework my book ("The Ottawa Bubble," on the writing desk) as a print-on-demand item to help keep its costs... democratic.

It sounds like vapourware.

Government procurement should reflect Canada's real wealth: its SMEs Behind every small business, are people who take risks, innovate and create jobs in our communities. By finally opening the government procurement door for them, we’re choosing a country that’s…
