From Hello Canada’s May Issue: ‘Canada’s 50 Most Beautiful’. Remember when you were a teenager and lost in reverie about where you’d be at 40? Never dreamed my forties would look like this. What I do know is single path solutions are foreign to my being and leaning into my four decade- as a Cancer Graduate- is a challenge to all my preconceptions.

Who is the Queen of Thebes? Look closer…closer. Dean West (www.deanwest.com) tranforms me into Jocasta, the mother of Oedipus. Extraordinary image, the product of a discerning and delightfully twisted eye. This shoot was a first ever for me (despite the fact my middle name is ‘Rani’ or ‘princess’).  The drama and contained emotion feels very cinematic. Click on the photo to see work from this photographer who is showing up on collectors’ radars:

I’ve been asked to judge the 2012 TIFF Student Film Showcase. It’s a privilege to get a taste of next gen cinematic talent. I personally love shorts. I also love short stories (A Moveable Feast anyone?) and tapas so there may be a theme there. Short films are so digestible…or are they more akin to cinematic palate cleansers? Whatever the culinary metaphor, I’m invigorated by watching this year’s student films. I’ve even come out of the experience with two delightful new film quips, from Mathew Yim’s Woody Allen-esque ‘April Doesn’t Hurt Here’: ‘Baby Make Baskets Buoyant’ ‘I keep seeing Metaphors everywhere.’ (one more line and I have a Haiku)
