Opens April 27, 2007 for one month at The Beaver, 1192 Queen St. W. Toronto, 9 pm

Trouble in the Camera Club documents the golden-moment birth and ensuing melee of what is commonly referred to as punk, in Toronto, capturing the earliest gigs of many local bands and visiting ambassadors. From age 14, I began taking pictures at some of the shows I attended, witnessing and participating, from behind the lens, in the birth of the revolution.

I joined my high school's camera club to learn how to print, develop and to get free chemicals. At the time I could only afford to make contact sheets and a very limited number of prints. Many of the photographs in this show are seen for the first time now, thirty years after they were shot.

This show would not have been possible without the technical expertise and
assistance of Derek von Essen and Wrik Mead and I thank them immensely.
