Play Me, I’m Yours — The End

Waterfront

Well it took a long time, but I finally located and photographed all 41 pianos on display for the Play Me, I’m Yours street art installation to promote the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games. I can only tell you that I’m glad I completed my task, due to the many logistical challenges it presented.

Each piano was lovingly painted by a representative from the 41 countries participating in the Games, located in 41 separate locations throughout Toronto. As I sit here right now watching the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony I am heartened by how healing and inclusive these events can be despite their competitive nature. After the horrific gun crime incidents in North America this summer, not to mention the economic and political uncertainties globally, nothing can lift our spirits better than the Olympics.

Go #TeamArgentina. Go #TeamCanada!
