Life is full of surprises. And just when you think you’ve settled into a routine, the unexpected can turn your world upside down. It can happen in the blink of an eye. As I write this, I’m in the middle of such a disruption. Two members of my family are hospitalized with (non-life-threatening, thankfully) medical issues.

Yet his everyday surroundings left a mark on him. “I was always drawn to the traditional carvings, paintings and architecture that scattered the streets of Kathmandu and I think that was enough to subcons

The remnants of another city flank Toronto’s spine of skyscrapers. Converted into offices, condos, galleries and lofts, former warehouses and factories are home to a new urban economy — one fuelled by laptops, real estate and the flow of global financial capital.

Initially, self-taught photographer Kacey Jeffers never saw becoming a creative as a viable option when growing up in Nevis, a small island in the Caribbean sea. “Nevisian culture pushes very traditional career paths,” he tells CR. “When I was around 16 I became interested in modelling and that opened up a whole new world for me.
