BRYAN Adams joined the dinosaur skeletons,
Greek statues and Egyptian mummies at the
Royal Ontario Museum to promote his first
photo album last month.

The former North Shore resident, who now cally London,
England home, took a break Oct. 22 from his European tour
to jet to Toronto from Amsterdam for the opening of his
Made In Canada photo exhibit.

The exhibit included black and white portraits of Canadian
women culled from his Made In Canada book, published by
Key Porter Books, to benefit the Canadian Breast Cancer
Research Foundation.

The project was suggested by supermodel Linda
Evangelista when Adams played a benefit concert in her home-
town of St. Catherines, Ont. A friend of Adams, identified in
the book as Donna, was afflicted by the disease. Her photo-
graph graces the book’s cover. She eventually died at age 38,
the same age as Adams.

“This exhibit encompasses 15 months of work and was
both enjoyable and a challenge,” he said.

It ends its run at the ROM today, but Adams told the
News it will eventually be mounted in Vancouver, perhaps as
soon as January. .

“We got as many people as we could involved in the short
period of tirne we had,” said Adams, who ‘vas also working on
his Lith record album az the time of the book.

Adams shot a multitude of Canadian women in London,
Hollywood, Tokvo, Toronto, New York and Vancouver.
Included are ex-Prime Minister Kim Campbell, authors
Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro, astronaut Roberta
Bondar, singers Joni Mitchell and Sarah McLachlan, rower
Silken Latusmann, skier Nancy Greene-Raine and figure skater

Adams shot Olympic silver medallist Alison Sydor riding
her mountain bike over the Lions Gate Bridge from the back-
seat of a car. He had wanted to do the shoot from the side-
walk, but “it wasn’t doing it for me, so I just went over the
bridge, but I don’t think you're allowed to go over the bridge
on a bicycle, but don’t tell anybody that.”
