I am a big fan of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) rennovation. I was lucky enough to be a photoshoot before this staircase was officially opened and i was amazed at how it seem to keep going up forever!

Despite the naysayers Yonge & Dundas Square has become a vibrant part of the Toronto cityscape. Some may deride it for its massive billboards and say it’s trying (unsuccessfully) to be Times Square, but regardless people still flock there. All kinds of people.
The Lord Dufferin Apartments is an unsightly building at the western border of the recently minted and continually expanding Liberty Village.
Its decaying and junk-strewen balcony fa??ade dominates the skyline – I am sure much to the chagrin of the village’s residents and condo developers.
One day while exploring the building’s perimeter I came across this cable box. It looks like something out of a third-world country and it’s obvious that Rogers long-ago gave up any hope of controlling this rampant signal stealing.
Here’s to DIY ingenuity!
This couldn’t have presented itself better if I’d staged it. Everything works: The cougarific tiger print glove that has come to rest in the rock ‘n’ roll horns gesture; the repeating of the glove pattern in the pattern of the storm sewer grate; and, finally the fact that the colour of the collected debris matches the glove’s caramel brown-yellow. This is the type of tableaux that makes me do double- takes when walking down the street.
Now if only I could meet and photograph the person who lost this glove in the first place.
I love graffiti – especially when you get up close and have the rich colours combined with the texture of the brick. Even if I may not be crazy about the tag or the content of the artwork I usually love the colours.
