Flowers, People, Skaters and BMXers…..
Well, I finally got around to edit last weeks outdoor shoot in the backyard. I used strobes on some of the shots, played around with my new/old Lensbaby Composer and my Zeiss Jena 135mm Sonnar lens…. Next in the queue were the shots from the Toronto Flickr meetup group. The meeting was happening (I guess…

Combo TPMG/TSG shoot results……
I’m doing a double photo post, since I didn’t get a chance to do the TPMG (Toronto Photography Meetup Group ) one earlier last week. The TPMG meetup was over at the Graffiti Alley in Downtown Toronto. It’s a really cool place and against everyones advice I decided to shoot with B&W in mind. Used my…

WinterCity ’09 – Pi-Leau by Close-Act

I think the cooling (-15C outside) and heating (+25C inside) might have…

Toronto Photography Meetup Group goes to Toronto Cavalcade of Lights
Last night we all met at Tim Hortons across from City Hall and went over to Nathan Phillips Square to shoot the show. We were hassled by the security who claimed that since we were using tripods (dahhh, it’s dark out and I want to shoot fireworks buddy) we must be professionals, and since professionals made money…
