By far the best way to get around downtown, just make sure you lock it up. Toronto does have a high ratio of stolen bikes.

On behalf of the amazing weather we had today (20 C), I decided to go to one of my favorite places in Toronto.....the Kensington Market. I figured it would be quite busy, so I decided to take my camera with me. I was debating on making these photos black & white, but decided against it due to the colourful nature of Kensington Market. Soon these streets will be covered with snow.........winter is coming!!!!

About a year ago I started working on a personal project called Out Back. It's a photography project on alley ways (I know....very cliche). The thing is, I love these little hideaways. Each and every one of them has their own story to tell, where all you have to do is look and listen. My personal goal with this project is to collect up to five different stories (7-10 photographs per story),.....and maybe one day have them displayed in a gallery. Yes, we're finally shooting for the stars!!! But first thing's first......before I fire up the engines and engage the thrusters, I need to buy a new 50mm 1.8 or 1.4 lens...as I dropped and broke the one I had in half. It's a good thing it's not an expensive lens. It's also a good thing I'm not a pilot. Anyways.....here are some samples from from the two stories I have.
