Toronto PD - Day Three Humber & Ryerson

Today we are finishing off our PD trip going to two schools Humber Lakeshore Campus and Ryerson U. Unlike the ALG Program both of these schools either offer or are about to offer a degree in Photography. We talked about articulation agreements, students and of course about the photo and education industries.

Humber College Lakeshore Campus  

Our first stop was the Humber Lakeshore which has a beautiful campus and program area. We talked with Basil Guinane Associate Dean School of Media Studies & Information Technology.  He toured us around and we had a great talk about their upcoming BFA Photography Program.

Our second stop was Ryerson University in the heart of downtown Toronto were we meet with Wayne Pittendreigh Program Director for the Photography Program.  

Ryerson University  

We got a great tour of the newly renovated  Ryerson Imaging Centre were they are housing the Black Star photo collection.

Ryerson Photo Preservation Lab  

We also sat down with Wayne and talked shop and we each received copies of Function Magazine a non-profit magazine produced by Ryerson's School of Image Arts Students.  It is a beautifully produced magazine with great images and content.  

Ryerson Student Lounge 

Our very own Professor Garry Carter is an Alumni of Ryerson U, so heading back to Ryerson was a bit of home coming for him.  It was great to hear about Garry's time at Ryerson and hear him and Wayne reminisce.

We would like to thank the Faculty and Staff of both Humber Lakeshore Campus and Ryerson University for taking the time to talk with us and show us around their facilities, it was an enlightening experience.
