In The Movies

«« prev | next »»



Some kids have all the luck. Imagine hangin' out with dad on a friday night driving around in his old Ford as part of a movie. These cars were heading back to the studio after an afternoon of shooting some stuff for "Flash of Genius." A little soft on the focus but I barely had time to even pull my camera outta the bag as they zoomed past. -shot by Ryan

The Police

«« prev | next »»






The four of us made it out to The Police concert. Some of us were die hard fans anxious to see the show. Some of us were skeptics wondering where our money will take us. Needless to say, we all came home happy. Thanks to Neil & Veronica for smuggling a camera in.

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."

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.

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.
