Starting in early 2015 I have, and currently still volunteer for a community outreach organization called The Dale Ministries, which is centralized in Toronto's Parkdale neighborhood. Throughout my first year as a volunteer I was tasked with organizing a community arts exhibition featuring artwork by many of the residents The Dale provides for. As the producer of this event it fell on me to apply my abilities as a photographer towards some of the residents, and at the request of Erinn Oxford, The Dale's creator and lead, I photographed some of the residents. This gallery is a small excerpt of my own work from that exhibition, which took place at Gallery 1313 during August of 2015.
Listed below are links to The Dale's homepage and links to articles related to the exhibition.
