Harsh Words

Walked down to the Port Union Waterfront the other day, through the tunnel under the railway tracks. On my way back I spotted this note scribbled on the tunnel wall.

He Took Our Photo

I was shooting around Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto last summer when this couple asked if I would take their photo for them. They said that since I had a camera with me I must know what I’m doing. After I handed their camera back to them, they turned around to check out the photo on their little LCD screen… and I spun around and captured them doing it.

This is the ship on which you can find Captain John’s Seafood Restaurant, permanently docked at the foot of Yonge Street.

No Swimming

I have no idea why you would want to go swimming in Lake Ontario, but if you were considering it perhaps this teeny, tiny sticker will give you second thoughts. Shot at the foot of Yonge Street.

David Dunlap Observatory Planet

The observatory opened in 1935 in Richmond Hill, Ontario, just north of Toronto. Until its sale in July 2008, the observatory was a research centre for the University of Toronto. Today there is ongoing dispute about what will happen with the land surrounding the observatory, which was sold to a housing developer. For this effect I used the Photomerge feature in Adobe® Photoshop® to align and blend together 79 separate photos, combining them into one massive panorama. Then I did a little more tweaking in Photoshop® to take that panorama and morph it into a planet. After a little more spit and polish, this was the result.

Crayons

Still playing around with my new Sony A700. I absolutely love the bracketing feature that allows the creation of some pretty sweet HDR photos. (I use Photomatix Pro to blend the exposures together.)

Saxophonist

I’m getting a bit tired of winter, and with all the sun we had this past weekend in Toronto I thought a nice summery pic was in order. Shot at Harbourfront last year.
