Today is my daughter’s third birthday. My how time flies!

A cyclist talks on her cellphone as she rides through Ashbridges Bay Park along Lake Ontario in the Beaches area of Toronto.

You see some odd things driving around the streets of Toronto. This woman in a BMW passed me on Don Mills one day and I had to do a double-take as she roared by. I also had to speed a bit (sorry, officer) to catch up and snap a few shots before she turned onto a side street.

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.

He’s a pretty shifty lookin’ fella alright, but he also happens to be a co-worker of mine. Luis didn’t know I was taking this picture, so to make it up to him I’ll put in a plug for his website.

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!

Loblaws on Queens Quay at Lower Jarvis.

This is one of the first photos I shot with my newly acquired Sigma 15mm Fisheye EX lens. I just happened to wander into Henry’s Queen St. store one day and while I was waiting for someone to help me I glanced down at the used equipment in the display cases. And there was this lens! There was no way I was leaving the store without it.
