These Boots were Made for Walking...

I made this picture a couple of summers ago at a Queen Street West shop/gallery. Art? Footwear? A little bit of both? You tell me...

Go, Joe!

Just for fun (and because action figures don't protest when you spend too much time lighting and posing them), I took some shots of a G.I. Joe this afternoon resulting in this formal portrait of an action figure....

Dress Accordingly

This helpful sign in a College Street bike shop cheerfully enforces the local dress code.

Talking Business

The proprietors of a Queen Street West coffee/sandwich bar have a chat about the day's business.

Smoking on Humber Bay

Hanging out and smoking on these boulders seems to be a popular pastime. This is one of two groups that stopped by to chill on the rocks while we were walking the dog along Humber Bay on Sunday.

Skateboarder

A skateboarder enjoys the sunshine outside the Wychwood Art Barns on a Sunday afternoon.

Drama

It's a bit of a cliché but this frame from a British crime drama--captured as I was testing a recently acquired lens--caught my eye for the way the scanlines frame the protgonist, who seems to be making an impassioned plea of some sort.

See, Spot, Run

The family dog snapped on a pedestrian walkway in one of Toronto's ravine parks. The angles and textures of the walkway and overpass provided an interesting opportunity to play with composition but were not interesting subjects in and of themselves.

A Fetching Image

Oblivious to the cold, this canine fetches a tennis ball hurled into the freezing water of Lake Ontario on a cold and gray Sunday afternoon.

Having a Ball

This fellow isn't afraid of the cold and in moments, he'll jump into the freezing waters of Lake Ontario to retrieve a tennis ball thrown by his owner.

Explorers

The spring thaw is underway. A group of children hops from one chunk of ice to another while exploring the shore of Lake Ontario along Cherry Beach on a grey March afternoon.
