Photo Journalism


On our field trip to OCAD, we had an opportunity to wander around the surrounding areas of Toronto to try our hand at photo journalism. The goal was to take a picture that told a story.

Every time I visit this area of Toronto, I try to have a meal at the eclectic "Village by the Grange" food court. It offers a wide range of food from various ethnicities and provides an interesting setting for lunch. But even if I don't have time for a full meal, I always make a point of stopping at the "Coffee Exchange." This is what I've captured in my photo above.

In the past, I've had time to stop and chat with the man who usually works behind the cash register. I've learned that he's also the owner of the shop and father of some of his employees. He's explained to me that the shop is family-run and "family morals based." They believe in fresh ingredients, fresh coffee and options for everyone. The Coffee Exchange does all they can to offer a wide variety of coffees, teas and decaffeinated drinks for anyone to enjoy. It makes it so much easier to want to spend money on your coffee fix when you know how much love and thought is poured into it. In the picture I took you can see all 10 of their freshly brewed coffees (all different roasts and flavours) and the daughter of the owner making a drink in the background.
