This photo was taken near Cherry St. in downtown Toronto. These abandoned (I think they’re abandoned) train tracks are located under the Gardiner Expressway. I like how the curve of the expressway leads you to the downtown core in the distance. Hope you like it too.
I saw this guy waiting in a doorway at the corner of Spadina Ave. & Queen St. W. and figured he’d make a good subject. I guess I was about 15 to 20 feet away, standing with a crowd of people waiting for the light. He didn’t notice me when I turned and zoomed in to catch this photo. This was taken with my point & shoot.

I spent the evening at my buddy’s place interviewing a contractor for his big reno project. Got home and noticed a big ol’ moon crawling up from the horizon and making the trees behind my house all moody. Now, a professional photographer would have dragged out his or her tripod, but this lazy photographer decided to try a hand held night shot with my new Canon T2i. I know, nuts, right? But I knew I wasn’t going to get anything worth keeping anyway, so what the heck, live on the edge. Considering it was hand held, I think it came out not bad. It’s certainly not in sharp focus and I know I used too wide an aperture, but what can you do. I did some sharpening and noise reduction, I should mention. Hope you like it.

Here’s another photo shot with my new Canon T2i. I took this while downtown with Mauro Sunday afternoon. It’s been cropped and the contrast dialled up a bit, and converted to black & white. As you can see, the crop does little to the sharpness of the photo. Hope you like it.
I’m not sure what street we were on when I caught this photo. Probably Queen St. W. Clearly the sewing machine shop owner isn’t charging enough if he can’t even fix the broken storefront window.
