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!
There was more to the message at the beginning but it had dissipated too much for me to make it out. Did anyone else see or photography it?
Last weekend I participated in Improv In Toronto’s 2nd Annual Scavenger Hunt. One of the items was a “sleeve face” which my friend Nathan rocked Julio Iglesias styles!
Our team was The Break-Dancing Robot That Caught On Fire, and we finished 13 out of 76 teams. You can see all the full, long-form results here:http://improvintoronto.com/2011/04/30/2011-scavenger-hunt-results-and-comments/
Mercury Espresso Bar just recently celebrated their 5th Anniversary.
I hadn’t been in for a while and was very pleased to see they’d renovated since my last visit. The new layout moved the coffee counter to the back of the space opposite the large storefront windows which are now freed-up for individual seating. Though, if you do plan on staying to enjoy your beverage you best have a musical appreciation for mid to late 90s D.C. hardcore and the like. There ain’t no easy-F%CKIN’-listening soundtrack here. Just face- melting ear-splitting RAWK at a volume that only the heartiest/ hipsterist Leslieville stroller-pushers will brave.

Well, The Daily Mobile celebrated it’s 2nd Anniversary this past Thursday, and today we celebrate another milestone: the first TDM post to feature an image taken and/or altered by an app.
Ever since I saw the regatta scene in The Social Network I’ve been in love with this digital effects version of the view camera’s ability to tilt and shift the focal plane and severely distort the logic of a shot’s perspective. The result: miniature faking. A mind-teasing effect that when used with subject matter shot at a high angle makes the world look like it’s a model train set; and can help make even the most banal subject matter visually stimulating. TiltShift Generator is available in the iTunes App Store as a free and paid app.
March 17 – St. Patrick's Day is also The Daily Mobile's anniversary. Four years ago, 2007, I started snapping photos with my mobile cameraphone and two years ago (2009) I began posting them daily. Originally on Twitpic and now here on Posterous.
Thank you so much for visiting and following, and I look forward to seeing you again next Paddy's Day. Cheers!!! Eric Brazier
Man that felt good! Where were you?
