I shot this at Pearson Airport back in October. I didn’t really post it anywhere, so I figured now was as good a time as any. I had to lift my camera up above a 12ft fence on my tripod with the timer to get the shot.

Why not? I saw these guys playing while I was driving up Avenue Rd. and thought it was a great Canadian moment. Now I just need to take a photo of the tennis court shovellers down at the Kew Beach courts.

So it’s been almost two years since I was presenting work to one of, if not the most, important Profs I ever had. Phil Bergerson crushed my pride on a number of occasions in second year at Ryerson. He made people cry. He told it like it was, and that process was probably the most crucial component of my entire education at Ryerson. He didn’t just tell you his opinion when your work was total crap.  On a number of occasions he convinced me right out that some of my projects had no future and that I shouldn’t pursue them any further. Harsh! I can’t thank him enough for it.

I took some handheld photos in Cabbagetown on a mild night last week.  I think Cabbagetown is one of the most amazing neighbourhoods in Toronto and I assume most people don’t even know it.  The architecture and age of the houses and buildings is downright beautiful.  I’m considering doing a proper series on Cabbagetown at night as it offers so much.

Only four photos for now, but I’m not finished with this…

With a city of over 5 million, one would expect Toronto to boast a fairly impressive Art Gallery. The wait is over and the new AGO is an incredible feat of engineering and architecture to behold. Although bordering on grandiose, I think the new additions to the AGO are quite beautiful. I’m looking forword to going back on a sunny day to see how things may have been built to take advantage of the light.
