After taking her picture, Winnipeg-born Barbara Berryman had doubts about how it would turn out, but her reason for taking it was very personal.

“I saw this and thought immediately of my friend, Berma Day. She’s my rock when I’ve needed help, a pillar of strength, wisdom and support, and I want to dedicate it to her.”

A longtime lover of photography and a graduate of the Ve’ahavta Street Academy, Barbara was inspired by MYTORONTO to take her hobby to the next level and find new meaning in her pictures. She captured her image near Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, where she spends lots of time by the waterfront with her kids.
