Tulips

With all the white and grey surroundings, I thought it would be nice to post something colourful and alive.

hisssss!

Store window, Ottawa, May 2007. The mannaquin's top seems to have shifted and her expression is perfect.

Green means go!

It seems even the city's most conspicuous donned the Rough Riders colours in celebration on Sunday.

Not letting go

Droplets

A lovely discovery on my morning walk to Keele subway.

Prairie road

One from the summer. As the cold sets in it's nice to remember the warm, dry days of Southern Saskatchewan.

Tequila

Tequila shots lined up and ready for consumption at Century Room for the Reel Asian Festival's opening party.

I see Bruce Lees?

The Toronto International Reel Asian Film Festival opened tonight with Finishing the Game by Justin Lin. This comedy troupe/Bruce Lee impersonators came to rouse up the crowd of ticket holders outside of Bloor Cinema.

More from Nuit Blanche

Aliens have descended on King's College Circle... all would have been revealed had I entered the tent, but we were following a "no line-ups" rule. Damn! I think I missed something.

The invisible artist

This was one of the best pieces we came across last Saturday night in Kensington Market. Aside from the curated projects, Nuit Blanche seemed to draw many artists to the streets. If you look closely you'll see the artist, though he blends well with the mural.

Almost art

As I was wandering the city on Saturday night for Nuit Blanche I came upon this house. With it's perfectly symmetrical, manicured yard, I felt it could have been one of the works of art - there is something so artificial about it.

Looking into light

The second annual ScotiaBank Nuit Blanche took place last night (and this morning). The exhibit pictured, located in an old Police Station on Strachan, was entitled White Line Light and examined the limits of light and sound.

Expect more pics from the event in the coming days.

Vacancy

Dundas Square, Toronto, 9:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

721 Elmwood

I took a day trip to Buffalo, NY on Saturday. Along Elmwood I noticed these great address markers in the sidewalk. I really love the detail.

In the field

An old shot, but one I really like. This was shot on the Patterson farm in Southern Saskatchewan.

More from the Black Box...

Garth Hudson (from The Band) joins Daniel Lanois and friends at the Black Box on September 10th.

Daniel Lanois

Last night we had the privilege of attending the after party for Here Is What Is, a special presentation of TIFF. It was at the Great Hall, dubbed the Black Box for the night. There we were treated to a performance by Daniel Lanois and friends. I will post more photos soon.

Flower bed

Between work, allergies (which are killing me this year) and the Toronto International Film Festival, for which I'm working red carpets - I have been a little neglectful with my posts. Here's an image I found from my weekend in Quebec in August.

A new detail you may see is that I am now using a watermark in my photos. It is very subtle, so as not to disturb the photo, but I feel it is important to protect the work. If you have thoughts on watermarking, I'd be interested to hear your views. Hope to be back to you soon but it may be a few more days before I post again (keep checking back!).

Red chair and barn doors

One year ago today...

I married my sweetheart. I couldn't have imagined a more wonderful celebration. It was a fabulous party - started at 5:00 p.m. at the Boulevard Club and ended unpredictably 12 hours later at a small Chinese restaurant. This was the aftermath: how I discovered my dress and headpiece the next morning at our hotel.

Air Show

A couple pics from the Canadian International Air Show. This is a quick post, as I filter through all the shots I'll probably add more. The show continues tomorrow, if you're in Toronto check it out.

Cloudy sky and trees

Inspired by my Audrey's recent exhibit and looking through my car's sunroof, I shot a series of sky pics yesterday. This was shot while driving (someone else was at the wheel of course).

Hard Rock Cafe

A Saturday night at the Hard Rock Cafe, Toronto.

Fireworks over Niagara Falls

Who decided to build that hideous casino at the Falls? I hate the way it interrupts the natural environment surrounding the Falls. Perhaps it's a composition issue - I think it wouldn't bother me as much if it was off to the side somewhere. My thoughts.

Yonge Street deserted
