About Me:
 
Ronzig was homeless for 10 years while waiting for his name to come up on the waiting list for affordable housing. Leading up to becoming homeless and throughout most of his homeless period, he suffered with substance abuse problems. On March 2, 2005 he swore off alcohol and drugs and has been clean and sober ever since. On October 1, 2005, after many long years on a waiting list for affordable housing, he moved into a rent geared to income apartment.

He enrolled in a part time studies course offered by the Toronto Board of Education, Continuing Education Program, "An Introduction to Digital Photography" in the spring of 2006. The experience was an awakening. Since taking that course, he has become obsessed with a desire to portray our city as he sees it.

He is rarely without his camera and typically will capture dozens of images each time he ventures out. He opens his artist eye to a broad range of subjects including architecture, people, events, and nature.

He calls his art form Digital photoArt, which is a marriage of photography and digital art that has evolved out of his exploration of several different computer programs which were designed for photographers and/or artists. He uses a dual monitor computer system so that he can move an image from one program to another until he has created the effect he seeks.

He can be reached at: ronzig@rogers.com 416-820-6036

Not to any great degree. The theories are interesting and if human nature wasn't what it is, they would be great, but because they ignor the greed and selfishness that is integral in human natur they are unworkable.

Did you learn any home cures for sicknesses, rashes or cuts, things like that? If you did, please put some vids on you tube- apparently, all over the counter drugs that work are being taken from the shelves, ie asthma spray and pills, cold medicines, things that work are being banned...please help people by sharing your knowledge of what kind of things have worked for you...thanks again for your channel, Kim

There are no time limits on how long the authorities will let a squat stay. When they find it and have time to schedule demolition, you have a few days warning and then in come the bulldozers.

God Bless You for all you've done and for all you do, to help this world by your own experiences. People don't understand that one day they have it all and the next day they could lose it all- vey sad, very real...I'm sorry you had to keep leaving and the police tearing you from your home...I didn't know the shelters had a time limit. Please explain more about the shelter- show pics and stuff if you haven't already, love kim
