Shot with Allan’s Christmas present (a Sigma 10-20mm lens) on the Toronto Brick Works photo walk, December 2011.
Shot on the Sunday morning of the Toronto Photo Walks weekend trip to Orillia in December 2011.
Taken on the Toronto Photo Walks: Belt Line walk, October 29 2011.
Taken on the Urban Photography workshop with Chris Marquardt, September 2011.
Taken the Toronto Photo Walks meetup at The Ex (the Canadian National Exhibition).
I’m organising a photo walk in Toronto as part of the 4th annual Worldwide Photo Walk, which will be my 2nd WWPW as a walk leader.
The walk I’m planning is in the Summerhill & Yorkville area. It coincides with our regular Toronto Photo Walk schedule, so I’m organising it as a normal TOPW event (i.e. 10am to 6pm with pub stops for lunch and at the end) but there’s a specific WWPW start point for anyone who only wants to join us for a couple of hours.
If you’re interested in joining my walk, register and join the walk; if you want to find another WWPW or organise your own, just go to the WWPW website and follow their navigation.
Update: the walk is now full (50 people) and there’s a waiting list; you can add your name to the waiting list if you want, or sign up for one of the other walks in the area. I promise not to be upset if you go to someone else’s walk or lead your own!
p.s. Official WWPW T-shirts are now available.
A night walk with Toronto Photo Walks; unfortunately it rained quite heavily and we didn’t make it over to the Islands but at least there were some interesting clouds.
Taken in Halifax, Nova Scotia; May 2011.
Taken at the Marillion Weekend, Montreal, April 2011. It was an amazing weekend; I’ve written a blog post about it too.
After the Distillery District / St. Lawrence Market photo walk a few of the TOPW group headed down to Cherry Beach to shoot the “supermoon”; I shot this en route, looking back at the TO skyline.

I was explaining “YAGNI” (You Aren’t Gonna Need It) to someone recently and I wanted to send them an XKCD cartoon which I think sums it up, but I couldn’t find it. Well, just so I have it handy next time, here’s the cartoon: In case it’s not clear from the cartoon (which is called [...]
My aims for this year were “more of the same, improving my skills and helping others do the same … and trying to catch up (and stay on top of) all my email!” Did I do that? Well, somewhat – I’ve continued to work on my photography (attending a workshop, practicing with Toronto Photo Walks, [...]
I posted a round up of photos at the end of each month (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec) but I thought I’d pick out just a few of my favourite photos/events from the year: The 3-day Marillion concert in Montreal …although my favourite shot is one with me [...]

Sorry about posting this after the fact, but it was organised at short notice and only “declared an official walk” during the walk! I’m really only creating this entry so that I have a record of the walk, it’s hashtag (TOPW:SL) and somewhere to attach the slideshow.

Meet: 6:00pm outside Balzac’s coffee shop – when you come through the main gates, keep heading straight (towards the huge Christmas tree) – there ought to be space to meet up between the tree and the [...]
