My fascination with huge American flags continues.

This is the first and currently ONLY Converse store in the world. Apparently Boston is where it all started for Converse.
Upstairs they have an in-house ‘maestro’ who will customize your chucks while you wait! Very cool.
I couldn’t resist and had to pickup two new pair.
The dim sum was excellent but our table was not.
If you can visit and they attempt to seat you on the small karaoke stage at the back of the dining room, insist on another table. The food carts can’t get to you!
A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of working with photographer Andrew Macpherson. Even if you don’t know the name you’ll definitely recognize his celebrity and music work – just take a look at his website http://www.macfly.com
Andrew was in town to shoot publicity stills of Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum for their upoming movie “The Vow”.
I captured this image on our pre-light day while the crew was walking back from a test shot. Andrew had hoped to take a few shots of Rachel and Channing outside but on the day of the shoot the weather was overcast and rainy. However, it wasn’t a total loss for Andrew as he did managed to grab a shot of a “sun dog”, an intriguing atmospheric phenomenon which he further describes on his blog at http://macfly.com/2010/10/sun-dog-in-toronto/
Location was Pinewood Studios. All equipment was provided by S1group.ca
IMAGINED DIALOGUE:
WIFE: What do you think of these sheers?
HUSBAND: Hmmm?
W: I said, what do you think of these sheers?
H: They’re nice.
W: You didn’t even look.
H: Whatever you say.
This panorama is my first ever iphone panorama and it was made with the PanoLab app by Originate.
The recent winds brought down the stragglers and it’s time to start raking.
Île de la Visitation is an unexpected gem in Northern Montreal that I highly recommend visiting.
In addition to being a unique residential community that reminds me of Toronto Island’s inhabited regions, it contains the preserved remains of a decaying mill and miles of nature trails to explore.
Learn more about the island HERE or visit it via the google maps link below:
Check it out on Google Streetview:
If anyone knows the people who live there I’d love to meet them.
Fairmont Bagels is a close second.
Inspired by the amazing Newfoundland/Canadian artist Christopher Pratt’s painting “Driving to Venus”
At first I wished I could’ve gotten closer before snapping a shot, but upon review I couldn’t be happier with what I managed to catch.
An unquestionable archetype of the hipster stereotype (plaid shirt, ironic throwback baseball cap, moustache) trailed by his hip-HOP-ster counterpart in the midst of a slacker Abbey Road Crosswalk strut.
I live for these moments.
Last night I did a job at The Venetian Ball. It’s a huge charity gala with much food and drink and entertainment. The surprise musical guest was the legendary Stevie Wonder, and he did not dissappoint. He played longer than he was supposed to and was spot on and sang all the hits with grace and aplomb. Truly, a class act.
This is a shot of one of the many busser’s trolleys used to clean-up the revelry.
