Thanks for popping by to view my photos. I’m just an amateur photographer, but I’m having fun figuring it out, and that’s what really matters, right? Hope you enjoy some of my favourite pics of whatever. And if you have a moment, feel free to drop me a line. All photos taken with a Panasonic LZ2 point & shoot 5 meg digital camera.

Here’s another photo from the Distillery District. I can’t explain it, but I seem to like photographing old and unique bicycles. Hope you like this one.
In this photo I just liked how the buildings seemed to crowd around this little lane down in the St. Lawrence Market area.
I saw this window on a side street downtown and just thought it would make a good photo. Not sure why, really. I guess part of it is I like the lighting and the red walls. The object on the table also interested me. I had to do some lens correction to get everything to stand up straight, rather than sort of point inward at the top.
Here’s another photo from my heritaging lighting event outing. This is just north of the St Lawrence Market area.
I know it looks like a door, but it’s a window, and a second floor one to boot. I got this photo standing on the raised west deck of the St. Lawrence Market overlooking market street. This vantage point put me pretty much level with the second floor windows of the now defunct Fish Market restaurant. When I started my renovation business back in the late 1980s my Dad and I went there one afternoon for Bloody Caesars to celebrate registering the new business. For those not in the know, a Bloody Caesar is a Bloody Mary but with clamato juice instead of tomato juice. Very tasty. Pretty much no one in Toronto drinks Bloody Marys anymore.
The other day I was coming home from a mall in Scarborough when I stopped to snap some photos of the sky in the late afternoon. Here is one I particularly like and I thought it would make a nice Skywatch Friday post. Hope you like it too.
I snapped this photo from under the Gardiner Expressway at the CNE, while on my way back from the zombie walk in October. It’s no secret I like gritty urban scenes.
This is a street photo of the inside of one of our older banks in downtown Toronto. Quite opulent.
I went to the Scarborough Town Centre (N/E Toronto mega mall) to meet a girlfriend of mine and on the way home shot a handful of sunset photos. I’m going to post one or two for this week’s Skywatch Friday but thought I’d throw up a little teaser for fun. I like this photo because there’s so little in it, but what is in it doesn’t seem to belong. You don’t often see a skyscraper without a bunch of other buildings around it, right? Plus, I really like the sky in this one. I should mention, I snapped this by simply rolling down my car window while stopped at the lights and sticking my camera out. Not very professional, I know, but let’s not forget, I am the lazy photographer. 
Hope you like it and hope you check back on Friday for the other photos. The Friday photos are far more dramatic.
