Toronto’s Pride Parades 2006-8

Over 60 photographs (many full-page) from Toronto’s annual Pride Parades offered in this over-sized (13″x11″) hard cover book make this a great gift.
Begun as celebrations of pride and as a protest for equal rights, the annual Pride Celebrations in Toronto have become a celebration of much more. The event brings around one million people to downtown Toronto for a street fair and to participate in, or watch, The Parade.

 

December Rose

All the photographs in this volume were taken on December 1st 2010; World Aids Day.
“Why roses?” you might ask. I could talk about their near-universal symbolism or ruminate on how artificial modern hybrid roses are; genetically-altered mutants bred for human pleasure regardless of the impact on Mother Nature. The truth is that I did not select roses so much as they chose me.
Printed on Premium paper, this volume has over 60 images. We will donate $20 from the sale of each copy to Amfar.

 

In Pursuit of a Dream: Poetic Prose by Brian Gryphon
40 pages,
5″x8″
trade paperback

     Born near the end of the ‘Baby Boomer Era’, Brian grew up in rural Ontario. Living in a village of 1,000 people in the 70′s he knew he was ‘different’. Moving back to Toronto as quickly after graduation as he could, he did more than his fair share to celebrate life as a gay person and promote ‘sexual rebellion’.
     But some nights he found his pen mightier than, well, his sword. He doesn’t claim to have found answers there to all the ‘big questions’; but offers these writings as notes on his journey.”
