WHY YOU SHOULDN'T SHOOT ON TRAIN TRACKS
In Canada, railways are private properties and walking on or along the train tracks is an act of trespassing. When we say along, we mean 50 feet from either side of the tracks. It is a federal offence under the Railway Safety Act and, although fines vary by provinces, they can reach up to $10,000. In short, it is illegal to use train tracks, active or inactive, as a shooting location without explicit permission from the railway company.

Renowned Photographer Retires
After an amazing 45 (!) years, Brian Boyle - the ROM’s senior photographer - will be retiring at the end of August. His last day will be Friday, August 30th.
Brian started at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) in 1974, and during his tenure, he has helped lead the transition from the analog 20th century to the digital 21st century. When he started at the ROM, photographers shot everything on black and white film, using 4 x 5” cameras. Since 2002, Brian has worked entirely with digital cameras and has led the ROM in establishing itself as a premier institution in the digital world.
