May 5, 2012, next to the Wave Deck on Queen's Quay, Toronto. Taken during the "Toronto’s Changing Waterfront" Jane's Walk.

I haven't been posting much on this "blog" lately. Again. Too much other stuff going on, and more time is consumed with Daddy / Family stuff these days. But that's a good thing!

I've also been cycling less these day. But walking much more. So here's a selfie I took on a recent Jane's Walk along Toronto's waterfront. You can see more photos from that day here.

Remember my goal to post a photo here every day? Haha! I'll try to post regularly again, but definitely not daily.

Faceless suitmen, now with faces

Some of Joel Richardson's faceless "Suitman" pieces on Dupont St. have been affixed with faces.

Photos taken on February 15, 2012. Cheezy "filmstrip" effect added by me.

Self, with an audience

February 15, 2012. A self-portrait in a window on Dupont St., Toronto.

I had taken the day off work to bring Alex to the Doctor, and ended up walking home from downtown along the full length of Dupont St., snapping photos along the way.

I haven't been posting much on my website/blog lately. Maybe that'll change again soon.

Final ride on a TTC H4 Subway: The Big Vent

vic — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:15:39 +0000

January 27, 2012. This morning was the final run for the TTC's last remaining H4 subway train. These beauties were known for their faux wood paneling, 1970's colour scheme, cushy vinyl seats, and huge ceiling vents but no air conditioning. I was able to take this train on it's final run from Keele Station to Kipling, and then back one station to Islington. Yes, the train was full of other foamers / railfans / transit geeks / photographers.

Symington Lightning

vic — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 02:50:00 +0000

August 24, 2011. A huge lightning storm with threats of tornadoes is moving across southern Ontario right now. The rain didn't seem nearly as hard as I expected so far, but the lightning show here in Toronto was fantastic. Here's one of the photos I took from my front porch (Symington Ave., Junction Triangle, Toronto, facing north-east).
