Meet Street Photographer Theresa Groth

I have a secret to share…I have been experimenting lately with black and white photography.

Q & A with Director James Buffin

It turns out that his film, Jingle Dress, just had its premier at the Aboriginal Education Centre, in Toronto, Canada.  This incredible film from Veritus Pictures, will be one worth seeing!
