House Calls with my Camera: Social Documentary Portraits by Dr. Mark Nowaczynski
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) presents House Calls with my Camera, a poignant series of photo essays capturing the lives of the patients of Toronto physician Dr. Mark Nowaczynski. The 36 powerful photos taken by Dr. Nowacyznski, many of which are on display for the first time, document the hidden world of his house-bound patients, revealing the startling lack of medical and supportive home care services of this vulnerable population.
House Calls with my Camera will be on display on Level 2 in the
Hilary and Galen Weston Wing from May 15 to October 11, 2010.
