Because money just doesn’t grow on trees.

Check out these stunning photographs from the London Tuition Fee protest. Dangerous riots but completely awesome; wish I could be there to capture a few snapshots of danger from a distance. Could we arrange to have one of these in Toronto for our Master’s programs? Education is stupid expensive. If you want to go to school, then you should be able to. It shouldn’t be a matter of money. I have my heart set on getting my MBA, and if it wasn’t for affordability, I would be in class already. For crying out loud, the two-year MBA program at the Rotman School of Management (UofT) costs $74,936. That’s a rock solid down payment for a house. And that’s without your books, supplies, commute, etc. With all of that included, make the total $100,000. Between a Master’s degree, a good lifelong car, a house, traveling, and a wedding at some point, I either need to win the lottery or save my @ss off and never spend another dime. And no, I can’t prioritize because these are all equally important and have identical timelines. To drown in debt is not an option. Sorry to be a realist.

My shoot today was postponed because it decided to rain all day. Sundays like to rain… and that’s probably why Maroon 5 wrote that song Sunday Morning (rain is falling).
