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.

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.

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 is why I don’t like the morning rush hour. It’s not so much the people, but that everyone is rushing into the ‘epicenter’. Bee-lining it, with blinders on. No time to take time and relax and the day has only just begun!
