Union Revitalization

Walking passed Union Station earlier today, taking in all the construction for the station revitalization. It’s all a part of a $640-million project to expand Union Station and create a new GO Transit concourse and expanded retail space. The project is scheduled for completion in 2016.

Found a Love

We shouldn’t require a special day to profess our love for those special people in our lives. It should just be something that happens naturally day to day, in what we say, in what we do and how we conduct ourselves with one another. Although I don’t have a special someone in my life right now, I’m blessed to have my family and friends who I know care for me. I love you, today and always.

Latte at the Abbott

Last week, I worked from The Abbott in Parkdale. It’s a cute little coffee shop at Spencer and King. It has free wifi, friendly staff and great coffee, with lots of room to sit and work or leisurely read your newspaper.

Skating in High Park

A beautiful Friday afternoon on the ice in High Park. So far this season I’ve gone skating four times. Which are your favourite ice rinks in the city?

Post Yoga – Jason Howlett

Last week I was visiting The Blog Studio, where I bumped into Jason Howlett post yoga.

Chinatown Mural

Found off Dundas Street W, just east of Beverly, this city of Toronto sponsored, Chinatown Mural is tucked away in an ally off the Dundas strip. Definitely worth seeing in person, it captures the spirit of the Chinese community here in Toronto. And stretches down the ally beyond what I’ve captured here.

The First Shot: IMG 0001

So last week I finally picked up a Canon 5D mrkII. After a bit of a mishaps with my older 5D while I was in Vancouver, I needed to make the leap to a newer body. I must say that I love it. It’s a dream to shoot with and I wonder why I didn’t do this sooner. This is the first shot I took with the camera over the weekend.

Behind the Velvet Rope at TIFF

Toronto is in full swing with TIFF happening in the city, and it seems that TIFF means different things to different people. For many it’s about seeing as many films as humanly possible in a week, for others it’s stargazing as many celebrities flock to Toronto for the festival and for some it’s about getting into as many parties happening in the city in conjunction with a bunch of the films.

Last Friday I worked a party for Haagen Dazs at the Princess of Wales Theatre, where lucky facebook page winners had a taste of being a TIFF VIP. Click here to view some of the pictures from the party.

What parties have you been to? Which celebrities have you seen? What films have you loved and hated?
