Fourteen month old Jesse Arrigo and his mom Kristin lie quietly in a hyperbaric chamber at the Ontario Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Centre in Toronto. Jesse survived a near drowning in a backyard garden pond earlier this year. From what the family has learned they are looking not at months, but years of therapies that are not covered by OHIP.

I know that I developed my love of Photojournalism when my family moved to South America in the late 70's.
We moved to Peru, which was under a nationalist military government at the time. There was precious little in English to read. The three magazines that were always in the house were Time, Newsweek and National Geographic.
I loved the pictures.
And oddly enough my favourite photo "feature" had to be the Lufthansa ads.
The ads were photojournalistic pictures of their planes behind the scenes presented as one picture on a clean page.
Lufthansa ad from 1985.
This week I got to shoot behind the scenes as WestJet executives were given a behind the scenes look at the Bombardier Q400, which they will use when they start their new regional carrier to launch, or take-off, in June.
