Henry Vanderspek
A Pilgrimage of the Street
Finding Meaning and Creating Art on the Streets of Toronto
Tuesday May 5, 7:00 PM
Presentation
Creating images that are meaningful and that last can be a long and lonesome journey. While there are highs and lows, there are rewards to be found along the way, beyond just creating that “ultimate capture”. Join photographer Henry VanderSpek as he shares of his journey over the past ten years of finding meaning, joy – and hopefully a few good captures – on the streets of Toronto. His presentation also cover his experience creating documentary projects and selling images at various art shows around Toronto.
