The irony is that this picture was taken right outside the main courthouse a.k.a. The Justice Centre, Dallas.

Cars are king in Texas; and their roads lord over the land.
I ain’t touching this one. I’ll leave the comments for others.
Several years ago my girlfriend and I began keeping a journal of all the wines we try.
It’s not very professional or scientific – it wouldn’t impress a sommelier, but I find it very rewarding to be able to look back on several years worth of bottles and the meals and experiences they were paired with.
A while back a read a statistic that said 95% of the wine sold by the LCBO is consumed within two hours of purchase. And, in my opinion, likely forgotten within three.
To me this is a fun way to remember.
This lighting fixture was in their kitchen and, to borrow the home-owners parlance, I thought it absolutely brilliant.
Not sure what they were on – perhaps just high on life, but these dudes were determined to out-do each other somehow.
My boy Mike rocked the reflector while I rocked the cowboy hat.
I am not a morning guy; I can sleep-in with the best of them.
But I do love the rare occassions when I have to be up extremely early. You get to see the world in a whole new light – literally.
This was the case with the photoshoot I was on yesterday morning. Call time at the Scarborough Bluffs was 5:30am.
It was dark, cold and – except for the two guys who had clearly been out clubbing and had talked their high-heels and mini-dress clad ‘dates’ into the romance of driving out to watch the sunrise – quiet.
Then the arc of that orange-pink sphere begins to peek above the horizon and the flat grey light begins to separate into highlight and shadows.
This dude negated his entire coolness factor with this fashion choice.
Sometimes it’s the inadequacies of a technology that make it beautiful.
With traditional photography thing do not warp; they blur.
Not so with the cameraphone.
For whatever reason – I admit I am lacking for a technical explaination here – cameraphones take rapid movents in bright light and warp rather than blur them.
The effect is somewhat like capturing what actually happened to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on November 7th, 1940. YouTube it – you’ll see what I’m talking about.
After a very long drive back from Niagara, my girlfriend looked in our rearviewmirror and declared that a ninja was tailing us.
I snapped this pic and the next thing I know the guy is beside my open passenger window congenially asking if I got a good shot.
Appropriately, his bike’s model name was Ninja.
A very inventive way to make an empty gravel lot surrounded by barbed wire fence look friendly.
I think all vacant lots should do this.
So today I was in the car with my friend Keith – navigating with his iPhone when it decided to die.
I took this shot with my own iPhone while trying to soft-reset his for the fifth time.
I’m HUGE in this self-portrait I took at The Little Doll House Company.

Like many cities, Toronto has experienced a burger craze of late. Here’s a reminder that way before it became cool there was a place that dedicates itself heart and soul to the simple hamburger.
Going to Johnny’s Burgers can feel a little soup-Nazi-ish (don’t even think about losing your ticket) but the service is fast and the burgers are good.
