It was a slow day, so I was out feature hunting, and found Arie:


Arie Kamp, 87, is a member of the High Park Chess Club, in the park south of Bloor Street. Born in the Netherlands, Kamp has been coming to the club for more than 40 years. For a small fee anyone can become a member and play chess from 2 to 10pm, each day except Wednesdays. (Mary Gaudet/Metroland - Bloor West Villager)

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.
