Streetcar Named Spadina

A little cliche, but a fun exercise nonetheless.

King & Spadina

We're not too sure if all the buildings in Toronto used to put the street signs on the corner of the buildings, but if you look closely at some of the older buildings you might find this. This is the Spadina Hotel, aka "Global Village Backpackers Hostel."

Despite all the housework, we actually did get out of the house this weekend. BBQ'ing at Charles & Virginia's.... We also stopped by Jeff & Kendra's to meet the newest member of their house, Capote. -shot by Ryan

We have been in renovation mode lately and haven't had much time for photos or posting. (You don't really wanna see photos of drywall dust do you?) Keep stopping by though, we will try and have some more up this week. -Ryan

We actually had a weekend where both of us were off. So we decided to get out of the house. This is a lil hint of life before Chinatown on Spadina.

Happy Little Stove

Photography has kinda been on the back-burner lately. We have been busy renovating the basement. This happy lil stove is free to a good home by the way.

Crab

-shot by Silvio The Cuban Security Gaurd.

Funny little story about this one. Melissa and I were out on one of the docks taking some night shots. A security gaurd walked over to say hello and started asking us questions about the camera. Through some broken english, broken spanish and many hand gestures, he wanted us to follow him because there was a good shot of a crab. We followed him to the edge of the bushes. He wanted me to hand him the camera and he would climb over the fence to take the shot. I thought, "hmmmm handing my camera over to a random cuban guy to take into the bushes? I better go in with the camera." So in I went, and no matter what I did I just couldn't spot it. So, finally, I handed our camera to the guy and said "Here you do it." This is the first shot he took. Muchos Gracias Silvio.

Beach Trails

Well, we're back. Sorry for the delay in posting. Sorta gotta get back on track here. This is a shot from our trip to Cayo Coco, Cuba.
We have a boat load of pics to sort through. Once we get through them we will post a bunch on flickr for you. In the meantime, we will post some here. But don't worry we won't bore you with a ga-zillion vacation photos. We'll mix it up a bit.

Introducing Mya

We had Veronica's family over for Easter dinner on Saturday and I snapped this pic of her niece Mya wound up after a feast of ice cream and chocolate. Have fun looking for Easter Eggs tomorrow!

Been kinda busy lately, so I missed a couple of days of posting. Here's a shot outside the Clarica Centre at Bloor and Islington where my friend Cris works.

McBride Cycle...or what's left of it.

«« prev | next »»

Even though I never bought anything there and only set foot inside once in the four years I lived in the neighbourhood, it was too much for McBride Cycle and they closed up for good a week after I moved to Mississauga. That was in September, and this past weekend I helped my old roommate move and discovered that the building is being torn down. Here's what's left of McBride, which had been in business for 97 years in Toronto.

Who says a girl needs a ring? I think Veronica would be more than happy to show off the key that starts this car as an engagement present. I think I better start saving my pennies.

A "Wii" Accident

How many girls do you know that have a video game party for their birthday? Kendra did. Pretty cool. Here she is showing where I accidently whacked her with a Wii remote during tennis. Thanks for having us. More pics here .

-It is also Melissa's birthday today. I feel bad that I haven't got her anything yet. But I suppose the best gift I can give her tonight is being in bed before 6am.

Rheostatics Last Show

For some reason I decided to leave the big camera at home for the Rheos last show. So here are a couple of blurry pics. What a great show, though. It's a shame to see this lineup break up.

Penultimate Rheostatics Show

We went down to the Horseshoe tavern last night to see The Rheostatics warm up for their farewell show tonight. Not some of my best shots, but this was the first time I have shot with this camera in such a crowded dimly lit bar.

Baby Clothes

When Ryan's mom went to dig out her wedding dress, she had to get through 2 kids' worth of baby clothes. A lot of people we know have babies on the way. So, to them, we dedicate this picture of Ryan's baby clothes.

While most of the snow may be gone here in town, there is still a hint of winter just north of the city at mom and dad's.

Back on the "Q"

Yes folks, we've been hitting the Nyquil pretty hard. We are both bedridden with the flu. I am just posting this as I wait for my shift to sleep. We have developed this system of sleeping in shifts so we dont have to listen to the other moaning, coughing, hacking, yacking and all around fidgeting. Pretty ingenious eh?
