Is it just me or did 2021 feel like 2020 all over again? What a year it has been though. Another pandemic year, another year of some epic moments captured on camera. Midway through 2021, as things started to open again here in Toronto, it brought many opportunities like shooting sporting events, rallies and protests, and starting a personal project called Poetic Culture.
Starting in May, there were a lot of rallies and protests against Israel and its actions against the people of Palestine. Being out there to document and see people of all colours, faiths, ethnicities, age, and backgrounds come together to show their support for Palestine, was amazing to witness. To be honest, capturing these moments was also heartbreaking because I have met and know some close friends whose families are from Palestine and Israel, and have heard their stories on what they have been through.
