Morden Shapiro
ABOUT Morden
An avid photographer since the age of 10. Morden’s photographic equipment has spanned the years, from a Brownie Hawkeye to today’s pocket digital cameras. He believes that “it’s not the equipment that matters but what the photographer sees”.
Morden’s early work hung in Hart House at the University of Toronto. In 1987 Morden was invited into the Toronto Focal Forum (“TFF” – founded, October 1939) as the first second generation member (his father Roy was an accomplished photographer).
