I just had to show these off – I was commissioned to photograph the new Ritz-Carlton hotel, by Cadillac Fairview, at Wellington and Simcoe. The new hotel is not only lovely, but it was a challenge to shoot because of the vast spaces and combinations of natural and tungsten lighting – and I love a…

Toronto is a city developing at a pretty crazy rate. Google earth has a function that allows you to look at photos 8-10 years old, and Toronto’s waterfront 10 years ago was quite barren compared with today. These days that area is full of snazzy new condos and developing parkland. One of the cool things…

I have felt absolutely awful at the images on the news lately – in fact I don’t think the news has affected me like this in a very long time. I feel as terrible as I did the first time (and every time, come to think of it) that I saw the videos of 9/11.…

I took this photo in 2007, at the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto when I had the fortune to visit this incredible country filled with strong, compassionate, resourceful people. The tradition, as I understand it, is that people write their wishes down on pieces of wood that are burned in special ceremonies. They believe that…

This past weekend Tito and I drove up to the Bruce for a quick city getaway. We stayed at the Round House – an absolutely beautiful B&B in Tobermory. The lady was really sweet, the living room was huge and had beautiful picture windows that faced the lake – we couldn’t have asked for better!…

I’ll mix in some lovely photos of the waterfront, just by my NEW place, to bring up the tone of the post a bit ;o) I moved out in July of last year. My goal was to save up a downpayment, in less than a year, and then move back downtown. My rent downtown was…

Hey everyone! I wanted to share some pics I took a few days ago – the very day in fact that I decided my camera needed it’s own cosy. These are the snowy steps leading down into the ravine by my place. For those of you fixin’ to berate me about ‘being careful’ on those…

Meet the new baby. This is the Canon 7D. Swaddled in TFA Grape. Yes, I said swaddled. Because nothing says love like TFA yarn. No Patons cop-out for my camera! I crocheted a camera cosy. I’m not sure if this qualifies me as uber geek… or just incredibly lame. Maybe they’re the same thing. Nonetheless,…

Newsflash, folks – It does snow in Toronto. It snows frequently in fact, despite what other Canadian cities, the news, our previous mayor, these guys, and even some Torontonians, seem to think. The past two days we’ve been warned of this impending doom, only to wake up to a very pretty morning with some lovely…

Every Sunday for a few months now my mom and I have made a habit (quickly becoming a tradition) of getting together to design, make and photograph jewellery. Here are her latest! These adorable, bunchy little earrings were our main project. They’re made with 4 different sizes of Swarovski crystal, tiered to created these sparkly…
