Weekend Preview

January 25, 2009 by Gail

I arrived home late Sunday night laden with bags of groceries and my photography backpack, definitely feeling the effects of the weekend activities. Just climbing the stairs was slow going!

I took A LOT of photos — over 500 — and I haven’t looked through them all yet, so what I’ll do is skim through the batch and choose a few favourites from:

  • snowshoeing at Blue Mountain on Saturday
  • Marin’s Chinese New Year’s party on Saturday night
  • my photoshoot with Justin Ruttan of Cherish Events on Sunday.

Here goes:

Saturday: snowshoeing at Scenic Caves/Nordic Centre at Blue Mountain in Collingwood

Sunday: photoshoot with Justin Ruttan, Cherish Event Management

Sunday was COLD, too, and I mean -24C or so with the windchill. But the light was really good, so I convinced Justin to take some shots outside. He took off his jacket for the photos and I shot as quickly as I could so we duck inside somewhere to warm up again! Here’s one I took of him on King Street, just east of Yonge:

I found a great hallway in The Pantages Hotel Toronto Centre:

Finally, I leave you with a photo of my dinner at Fran’s (the one attached to The Pantages Hotel):
