“Our hats are off…” Ad for Ryerson University in “The Globe and Mail” Newspaper

First page of “The Globe and Mail” Newspaper – Tuesday June 25, 2013

Following up on last year’s advertisement, I was asked to photograph a new ad for Ryerson University published in The Globe and Mail on June 25th, 2013. It featured the seven newest recipients of honourary doctorates conferred by Ryerson University at the 2013 spring convocations. The distinguished honourees for this year belonged to a wide range of disciplines including film, new media, justice, education, politics, etc. It was a delight to meet these extraordinary people and to help commemorate their achievements.

Although, I only had less than 5 minutes to photograph each of the subjects, they each made their own impressions on me. Ken Dryden, the hockey player among other things, was about 6’5″ and had a cast on his wrist at the time so it was an interesting experience trying to accommodate his injury during his shoot. All in all, it was a great opportunity. Hopefully, in another year, I will have the honour of photographing the next group of recipients.
