View this post on Instagram Starting my 2019 Instagram year six days late with a photo taken in November of a guy I’ve shot once before. For those who don’t recognize him this is Rick Mercer. He wrapped up 15 years on TV last spring but popped back in front of the camera to talk up his book, which features some of his most memorable rants (that was kind of his thing.) Took this at Cafe Victor just up the street from his old studio at the CBC (which is also where I work.) • #happynewyear #2019 #RickMercer #Fujifilm #XH1 #myfujifilm #fujifeed #portraitphotography A post shared by Evan Mitsui (@evanmitsui) on Jan 6, 2019 at 2:36pm PST Website Climate Strike Price: Free When: Friday, November 15 Address: AMS Student Nest, 6133 University Blvd., Vancouver, B.C.
