For all you Transit aficionados in the city, Toronto Transit Camp is going to be happening this Sunday at the Gladstone Hotel. From what I understand there are still spots available (limited to 100 participants). I’ll be there and I’ll be running an ongoing slideshow of transit photos from members of the Toronto Photoblogging community. If you’d like to throw your images into the mix, drop me a line.

The first person I approached when I wanted to do portraits from the tech scene in Toronto was David Crow. He is the glue of the TorCamp community. David is also an experience designer, consultant and a software developer, but put simply he is a self proclaimed trouble maker.

Microsoft Windows Vista and 2007 Microsoft Office are being released today worldwide. To celebrate, Microsoft Canada has set up an Ice House at Dundas Square in Toronto. Built with 270,000 lbs of ice, the house will be open to the public from January 30th to February 3rd (10 am to 7pm) and will demo the new operating system and office suite.
Michael is the VP over at Radiant Core. It’s always a challenge to photograph someone whom I’ve known for a limited amount of time, but he settled into the model role pretty quickly.
This is the second in a series of portraits from the tech field. I have two more lined up for tomorrow.

My mother is a bit of a clean freak, so when I was growing up having any sort of pet was out of the question. Now that I’m older, the thought of getting a dog always struck my fancy. But instead we got a guinea pig. You know what they say, it’s the perfect starter pet.
However, if I did have a dog, it would definitely be spoiled and recently I found the site, Pampered Puppy which covers the latest in doggy wear and accessories. The site also features Merrylog, which has daily photos of a princess pug. So sweet.
Anyway, the above photo was taken on Friday at Dr. Kristin Heeney’s office of Paris. Her owner was in getting an eye exam, but was enjoying the company of the office dog, Buttercup.

Over the past year and a half the Toronto tech community has really blossomed. I’ve been watching as they’ve created businesses and applications which really have made an impact on the so called web 2.0 scene.
So I wanted to reach out and do what I do best and start providing photography for these pioneers. This past afternoon, Jay Goldman of Radiant Core was one of the first to lend his mug to my mission.
