    Celebrity Portraits by Fred Phipps
    September 15-30 2010
    Fred Phipps had an amazing career working as the CBC photographer for over twenty-five years. Not only did he photograph Canada’s most celebrated TV personalities but was the one and only photographer to capture the famous images of Karsh.
