Photography has never been so easy, with affordable digital cameras, smart phones, and apps like Instagram, everybody has the ability to take and share great photos. The new book “My Eyes, Your Thoughts” is a perfect example of how easy it is to create and share a collection of photos. Self taught photographer Taha Muharuma took a series of photos in Toronto, from March to November 2011, using only his iPhone4 (and iPhoneography apps).

A group of young people from Toronto have created “Youth Making Movements”, their aim is to inspire, motivate, and educate, while leaving a positive mark in the community. On Thursday, December 15, they held their first charity event, a 4-on-4 basketball tournament at Middlefield Collegiate Institute, in support of Free The Children. Toronto’s own Linda Luztono was on hand as the special guest host, and we donated some 1 LOVE T.O. t-shirts to help raise funds through their raffle. All together, they managed to raise over $500 in donations!
