Photobook on my three years living in Toronto, Canada 1970-73

This is the largest photobook I have made and in many ways is social history. I have enjoyed scanning slides and making the book by looking through all the letters I wrote home 50 years ago. Toronto is my second home.

Click on the cover here to get the link which  will take you to the Blurb page where you can see the whole book.  I don't expect anyone to buy it but it is free to look and enjoy.

The book is especially large as it includes most of the weekend trips we did as well as longer ones at easter and school holidays.  This included some in America as well as Canada.  

Two big American trips will be in my next book.

Photobook on Autumn in Canada in 2002

Autumn in Canada 2002

By Ruth Lathlean

The main reason for this trip in autumn 2002 was to participate in Freeman Patterson's residential photography course in New Brunswick.  The latter part of this book has some of the photos I made there.  It was a magic experience with fall colours and lakes. The cover photo is a montage.

My friend Joan came with me as she had not seen Canada.  We briefly went to Hawaii to see the volcanic features and then began our travels in Vancouver by renting a car - a Ford Mustang! We walked in the national parks in the Rockies and visited several of my friends.  There was also a mini school reunion in Toronto where I taught high school for 3 years in the early seventies.
