Toronto Photo Walks: East Meets West II

It was a small crowd as I said before. Made for a nice relaxing day. Especially after leading a large group two weeks before. Rainy days make for interesting walks and sometimes interesting pictures. If you remember to keep your lens covered and rain free. I think I managed fairly well this time. *wipe* *shoot*, *wipe* *shoot*. Things we do to have fun.







And finally the much anticipated lunch break at Loons Pub. A rather appropriate stop I think for the lot of us.

Toronto Photo Walks: East Meets West I

Well a couple of weeks ago we tried a grand experiment. Our photo walk group was to get together with the Missisauga photo walk group. It kinda succeeded. The walk was to start in High Park and meander around it. It is a great area to walk in. A lot of paths, scenery, the zoo, and the pond area. Usually it's a great area to walk in. This day not so much. It started raining early in the morning and didn't let up till late afternoon. Needless to say that we few that showed up, including two from the Missisauga group called it quits either at lunch or afterwards. Still it we had fun and had some interesting pictures.

World Wide Photo Walk 2012 I

Well, on October 13 I had the honor of being a photo walk leader for one of Scott Kelby's world wide photo walks. Over 1300 of them, and 32,000 walkers. This was the fifth year of this going on and the third one I have been on. Saturday dawned bright and early and I had 30 people show up in the morning. It was a little cool, but nothing that we couldn't handle. The goal was to start at Bathurst subway station and eventually end up around Eglinton West station. A long walk with the usual rest for lunch. I was the second string for Toronto Photo Walks on this. Between myself and our fearless leader Paul, we had about 70 or more people out walking. Different areas mind you.
It was a good day for photography. And I met some new people.


Oh, one other thing. I will be posting links on the store page to deals from B&H. They will change from week to week so keep your eye open. You may see some gear that you can't turn down. Anything you buy from there will help me as well. Thanks.

Grab Bag Edition

Okay, I think I got my head screwed back on straight. Been fighting that cold bug that has been going around all over. Hard to concentrate when your head feels like it's in a vise. So enough of that and on with the show. Once again I am reaching into my grab bag of randomness and seeing what I can pull out. A little from here, and a little from there. You know the drill.
