I needed a photo for today. I was in Brampton and not going anywhere. Therefore I give you, ‘City Hall Parking’. Funny thing, where I stopped to take the phone, I was sitting in my car, and it was at the end of where the metered parking ended, so it was a ‘no-parking’ zone. And must be seconds after I stopped, and got the window down and my camera out, I heard this beeping/chirping start. If you look closely [click […]

A lunch time walk, brought me to this construction site for the new condo/presentation centre going up at Kinga and Peter. I noticed the shadows, as the sun came out strong, just as I started under the cat walk[I don’t know what it’s really called]. I liked the strong shadows it made and the vertical or longness [?] of it *smile*. A boon, that that women was coming and was wearing black and white! This is the first shot I […]

Another walk at noon. This time as I was heading back west along Front. Just after I had passed another photog, photographing people in the courtyard of BCE place, I noticed the cool shadow casted of bike on the side walk. I really like the photo, but decided that it was not quite ‘clean’ enough, so did a bit of post work on it. This is the original here. A fair difference, huh? Front Street near Yonge – March 18, […]

St. Paddy’s Day, done stylishly! How many of you can rock a cream suit? I know I can’t. And not while rocking it with a green St. Patrick’s day topper, at that! The light was amazingly wonderful tonight, walking east on King, just passing the CIBC building at the corner.

I guess the t-shirt says it all. An accidental capture. I was shooting raw black and white [duh it’s St. Patrick’s day], trying to get a bit of the crazy rush hour [how I dislike it], and she walked into the frame. Luck of the Irish [my friend Angie is at least], I guess 🙂 Toronto, Wellington and University – Shot March 17, 2010

Low rider on Dundas. Totally not expected, but like everyone else, they must have been outside enjoying the crazy beautiful weather. I almost hesitated taking the shot, but ended up snapping off two, as they slowly drove by. As I was taking my shot, a saw another photog [camera in hand] and friend, walking in the opposite direction [east on Dundas], looking back at the car and could tell he wanted a shot – but he hesistated and didn’t take […]

Saw this guy juggling his soccer ball at Yonge and Dundas Square, across from the Toronto Eaton Centre. Took a shot from the sidewalk, on Yonge. Then I walked up to him and asked if I could take some more pictures. He is really, really good. My pictures do not do him justice. Check my flickr stream below, for a few more photos. Canon 50D, 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS, f5.6, 1/800, iso800, 194mm Shot March 15th, 2010

Walked up Yonge street today. Missed one great shot. Dang, my shutter was set to slow and by the time I re-set it, the moment was gone. Then I looked up and saw this graffiti, on the north west corner. Looking through the lens, I liked how the building framed it from behind [the zoom adding some nice flattening]. This looks pretty good sooc, but I chose to do some selective colouring [the buildings in the back weren’t quite that […]
