HOMEWARD BOUND

After tragedy struck, photojournalist Darren Calabrese documented his return to the East Coast in a new book

EVER SINCE DARREN CALABRESE WAS A CHILD, his mother told him that one day he'd have to leave Douglas Harbour, the New Brunswick farming hamlet he was born in, and search for success elsewhere. She knew the area's opportunities were limited-both for his future career and for other life experiences. She was right. He went to Halifax for university, where he met his future wife, Tammy, also from the Maritimes. Eventually the couple settled in Toronto, where Calabrese developed a career as a documentarian and photojournalist, and Tammy as a nurse. For 11 years, Calabrese freelanced for publications including the Globe and Mail, Monocle and CNN, travelling to places like Tanzania and Japan on assignment.
