Teteruck has traveled to many other European countries, documenting societal and structural change. "Whenever I travel, I like to explore the environment with my camera. I've always had an interest in history, and an interest in how people lived and developed a long time ago," he explained. "I'm interested in how civilizations developed and what happened to them." A senior photographer at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, much of Teteruck's work outside the hospital is the documentarystyle featured in the two Mississauga shows. A London, Ont. native who moved to Oakville in 1992, Teteruck has been taking photos professionally for more than 20 years. His work is on permanent display in many collections, including the Archives of Ontario, the City of Toronto archives and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian art. While he's done several projects based on trips to Europe, more have been closer to home. Teteruck did a series documenting suburban growth in London, Ontario, and has completed several Toronto-based projects. "I documented the Toronto railway lands over a period of about 20 years. The changes, development, from sort of industrial site to commercial, and they're developing it now for housing and so on," he said. "I've also done work documenting the Gardiner Expressway, the kind of environments that it goes through, the functional chaos that is Toronto." Teteruck was out west in Alberta this summer, taking pictures of the Athabasca the most visited glacier in North America. It has been receding and melting for the last 125 years and has lost approximately half its volume, measuring more than 1.5 kms. Teteruck says his interest in visiting the glacier was not only to see a magnificent Canadian site, but also to capture its changing landscape. "Things don't always stay the same. As we're going along, we figure everything is going to be the same forever, and it isn't."
