*....or so the story goes. Once upon a time, Ryan suggested to Melissa that they start a 'blog'. To which Melissa said, "We are not blog people!" And so here we are. We are teaching ourselves photography, taking the camera everywhere with us. This little blog is meant to show off shots we are proud of, and to give you a glimpse into our adventures. Comments always welcome!

In the Movies

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 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."
