Waking up this morning required the assistance of an alarm. Not because I imbibed at the company party last night (I didn’t, unless you count two glasses of wine over five hours imbibing), but because I went home and worked late editing! I was probably the only person in the whole company who would even consider returning to a computer after Friday night’s festivities.

I made a trip out to Brickworks today with Jan and Natalia to do some location scouting for two non-wedding shoots this next week. I haven’t been to the property since the ravine walk a year and a half ago, and I’ve been meaning to get back there since. Shooting there tomorrow might be problematic due to the Toronto Marathon routing through Bayview Avenue, so I was looking for either access alternatives or location alternatives.

While we were there, we took in the Farmer’s Market and a First Nations social which included dancing, drumming, and yummy free food. Who can turn down free food? The bread was delish.

I shot a short clip of one of the dances called the hoop dance, which was really interesting: the dancer lay down a bunch of hoops and one by one picked them up and danced with them until she was wearing them all! Check out the video for 30 seconds of it:

I always love the sampling and variety of food at farmers markets. Everything is a temptation!

Am still uploading photos, but you can check out more Brickworks photos in the usual ways: [thumbnails] [slideshow] or in the Pictobrowser below.
