Spotted outside One Yonge Street on a very windy day. The title of this picture is a play on words, borrowing a line from the movie So I Married an Axe Murderer. In it, Mike Myers plays (among others) the role of a Scottish father who — at a wedding where the bagpiper collapses — calmly says into the microphone, ‘Piper down. We have a piper down.’

Okay, I don’t remember what this particular move is really called (my skateboarding days being long behind me), so I’m just calling it a Fakey. If you happen to know the real name, post a comment. This was shot ad hoc: the camera was preset and zoomed out, and I was holding it down at my side as we walked out for lunch. I snapped this without looking – just clicked the shutter and prayed for the best. Not bad!
