Pacific Mall parking lot, Markham
I have no (few?) words because I’ve had no internet since Saturday, but I haven’t been home enough over the weekend to sort it out. The cats are threatening to disown me for absenteeism, and the place is a mess!
Hoping to restore order — and internet — soon.

Shots scads ‘o photos yesterday, between Nicole and Jeremy’s engagement shoot in High Park and Jan’s birthday at Sutra Tiki Bar in Little Italy last night. Also, I was excited to see what developed out of my Chinon CE-4 film roll, which was started in 2008 (!) and only finished recently. I picked up the index print and CD yesterday. It’s only my second roll out of that camera, and I am even happier with the results this second time around. I really should use it more often, but between the film and developing it can be rather expensive.
I only have time to upload a few photos before heading back to High Park to shoot another engagement session with Sandra and Jon. Hope it doesn’t rain, it keeps threatening to…
Reading the menu by the light of an LED duck — it quacks, even! I love this photo. View larger.
Nicole and Jeremy in High Park.
Chinon CE-4 film camera (scanned negative). The vignetting is in the camera, I didn’t process it aside from removing a big piece of dust in the corner.
Eric during our trip last August to Montreal, writing a postcard to his grandmother. This is my favourite from the roll.

One of my favourite photos from the art gallery wedding last month, this was taken at the end of the night during the last dance. It never fails to amaze the guests that I stay until the very end (most photographers don’t), but that’s because I like to capture these moments. It’s worth it.
These are the groom’s parents, who’ve been married more than 40 years. She told me they got married and started their family when she was 17 years old. Here they are, grandparents of six, totally oblivious to me and everyone else at 1 o’clock in the morning and looking into each others’ eyes with love and happiness.
“We still hold hands when we watch television.”
I wish this kind of love for every couple.

This is why I have holes in my clothes. There are actually two hole-makers here, but for some reason Xena picks at me like I’m a guitar. ALL THE TIME.

I also like the French version (there are subtitles in English as well):
I’m in one of the two teams (thus far) from The Brides’ Project doing this year’s Relay For Life to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society. I just set up my personal page:

Just like the previous two years we’re doing the overnight relay wearing “basement” gowns from The Brides’ Project, so stay tuned for more photos of us wearing the UGLIEST wedding dresses you’ve ever seen. Here’s the photoset from last year of Neesa and Natalia and I looking for our ultimate fugly gowns: [thumbnails] [slideshow]
Our team pages for The Brides’ Project are here:

Here’s a video of The Brides’ Project Team from 2008.
Relay For Life takes place at Forest Hill Memorial Park on Friday, June 11, from 7pm to 7am.
If you’ve never heard of Relay For Life, here’s the scoop:
Relay For Life is a 12 hour, non-competitive, overnight event. Teams of 10 people – family, friends, neighbours, co-workers – take turns walking around a track to raise funds to make cancer history.
The Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to get together with family and friends and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back in the hope of finding a cure for this terrible disease.
Relay is fun, fulfilling, and your participation gives strength to our mission to eradicate cancer. Walk with us in this inspirational 12-hour overnight event.
Last year Neesa and I were up all night long without a nap. At some point in the night, I think we lost our minds:
Natalia also had a wardrobe malfunction.
We’ll have a tent set up, plenty of snacks and drinks to keep us going, and it’ll be a lot of fun staying up all night together! If you can’t join us, we would love your sponsorship of any amount.

This posting is going to be on the fly since I need to be at work and fully functional tomorrow at 6am…
I went to High Park this morning and took photos of the cherry blossoms without the usual weekend crowds. (Here are last year’s photos.)
The photos are best viewed as a [full-screen slideshow] but can also be displayed as [thumbnails] or view the smaller slideshow below:
