This guy and his wife are a stable in Leslieville. They have matching personal mobility scooters fully decked out with canopies, cup-holders and HUGE mirrors. Unfortunately I couldn't catch both in the same frame. Someday though, someday.

“Where’s Eric?” – I’m in there somewhere, Self-Portrait in Red

“Danger, Danger” – Warning signs at the Kipling Nuclear Training Facility, Toronto

Perhaps the real test is to see who can read these signs without snickering. I mean come on, the hand illustration on the left sign even looks like a ‘shocker’.

Who says nuclear scientists don’t have a sense of humour.

Huge thanks to Chris Chapman and the whole Silverline Studios crew for hosting an awesome shindig tonight. Free food, free booze and free spirits. Is this what the Toronto photo scene was like in the 80s?!?!?!?

Even if it wasn’t, I welcome it and look forward to more!

“The Final Countdown?” – Self-Portrait in the server room window, Corus Entertainment, Toronto

So, the world didn’t end today.

But, I found it appropriate that I spent the day on a photo shoot at the new Corus Entertainment building where I had to pass this room everytime I left set.

This clock just screams ticking-bomb, self-destruct, the-world-is- going-to-end timer, no?
