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?

Grey Skies over Parliament Hill

A couple of weeks ago I made a brief trip to Ottawa on my way to Montreal. I was there for a photo shoot which I completed earlier in the afternoon, but before deciding to leave our capital city, I decided to swing by Parliament Hill to check out the scene. It was a grey day and there was definitely a sombre feel in the air, as thousands line up to pay the respects to the late Jack Layton. Although I didn’t wait in line, I took a moment in silence and shot this photo of the Hill to pay my tribute.

Remembering Jack Layton

Not really being home much over the last week and a half, I never got a chance to post this photo of Jack Layton from Pride 2006.

Jack, you were an amazing leader, you were such a giving person and overall, Jack was likely one of the nicest and most accessible politicians I’ve seen. You sir will be missed.
