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
Dutch street theatre troupe, Close-Act, transformed Nathan Phillips Square into a mythical under-water world that floats high above the audience. I had a chance to see the show twice (Friday and Saturday Night) and have to admit…..It was amazing. Themes of global warming and environmental struggles were evident, but at its heart this is a…

TPMG visits Toronto Zoo…or…How I busted my camera shutter…
Well it finally happened yesterday. I busted the shutter curtain on my faithful Canon 1DMKII. Took a trip to Toronto Zoo and about an hour into the trip the shutter literally ripped (Damn Orangutans, I think one of them jinxed the camera :-)). I think the cooling (-15C outside) and heating (+25C inside) might have…

ACDC Rocks Toronto…..
This is a bit of old news I guess, since it happened almost 2 weeks ago. But it was a fantastic concert and I finally got around to checking out the pictures I took. Gotta admit the Canon G9 did a decent job for a $400 semi-slr camera. More pics from the concert can be…

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…

CineGrid 2008 (and 2007) photos from La Jolla, CA…
So I just came back from California a couple of days ago — La Jolla to be more exact — and I already wish I was back there. There is something to be said for warm winters :-). Anyways I just finished going through the pictures from this year and found out that I hadn’t…

Photo: San Diego and surrounding/Austin and surrounding Hill Country
Since I’ve had the Flu for the past couple of days (yeah great way to end a great trip), I’ve been at home and had a ton of time to get these pics cooked up . These shots were taken during my recent trip to San Diego, CA — to attend CSCW2008 — and Austin, TX…
