Farewell

Yesterday I went to Jack Layton's farewell. The ceremony was very powerful, I was lucky enough to be right in the front of the massive crowd that came out to see him off.

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

- Jack Layton



After the ceremony I walked around downtown and took some shots. I was lucky enough to meet one of the guards at the statue of the unknown soldier. We got talking and in the end he let me take a portrait of him.
