Guerilla newspaper, Toronto, 1970 & 1971

These are some of the many photos which I took of people at Guerilla. The first two were taken with a rented fish-eye lens which lends some drama to them.

Outside the office at 201 Queen Street East. Shown are staff, friends, neighbours and people who happened to be passing by. Front and center is me, Charles Dobie, and with his hand on my shoulder is Ken Hutchinson. Standing behind me, in the light sweater, is Sharon Fronczak (Froosha) who is standing with her partner, Bill Saunders. Both were founding members of Guerilla. Standing to the left of Sharon is Chris Ewing. Far right is Guerilla editor, Mike Constable and to the left of Mike's head, in the back row, is John Hardiman, the owner of a store down the street and a loyal Guerilla supporter.
