Model citizen & family man? It would appear so, for Julian Finkel, proprietor of Kensington Market’s Model Citizen, went to Matt for portraits of his familia. A perfect pairing, as Matt loves playing pretend and working with kids (being a rather oversized urchin himself). It was Matt’s intention to photograph the well-formed family in quite natural surroundings, taking inspiration from the walk home from a Spanish summer festival, and, naturally, he took to Toronto’s Weston Road & Keele, the perfect double for the rolling countryside of the Costa del Sol.
The Finkels are a cool clutter of cats; from Julian and his stylist wife Georgia, to eldest daughter Digby, twins John-Wolf & Soloman and little Lu Lu - there certainly isn’t a fink amongst the Finkels. Follow the jump for a closer look at this charming clan…

The Best of Kensington Series!
What’s good in the market, according to the way we feel today, specifically.

” The River By The Garden”

The time before that, I was lying in bed and found a lump on my right side, just below my rib cage. It was like a devilled egg tucked beneath my skin. Cancer, I thought. A phone call and twenty minutes later, I was stretched out on the examining table with my shirt raised.
“Oh, that’s nothing,” the doctor said. “A little fatty tumor. Dogs get them all the time.”
I thought of other things dogs have that I don’t want: Dewclaws, for example. Hookworms. “Can I have it removed?”
“I guess you could, but why would you want to?”
He made me feel vain and frivolous for even thinking about it. “You’re right,” I told him. “I’ll just pull my bathing suit up a little higher.”
When I asked if the tumor would get any bigger, the doctor gave it a gentle squeeze. “Bigger? Sure, probably.”
“Will it get a lot bigger?”
“No.”
“Why not?” I asked.
And he said, sounding suddenly weary, “I don’t know. Why don’t trees touch the sky?”
