Porcine Practice

At work it was another bad day for pigs:


Grade 9 students Kyra Colbert and Mayuri Gnanendran work on their suturing skills at St. Joseph's Hospital during Take Your Kids to Work Day. The students got to try a variety of hands-on activities, including this surgical practice, during their day on the job. (Nov. 7, 2012)

About Me

I'm a photojournalist based in Toronto, Canada. I started working in the summer of 2010, shooting for weekly newspapers, magazines, and the web, after a year at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario. My background is in anthropology, and graduate studies took me to South America to look at social change and political empowerment. I try to bring together my anthropology and photography studies in my work, since at their best both are about looking closely to find revealing moments, so we can better understand one another's lives.
