As you can tell by the ultra-light blogging, I’ve been rather preoccupied these days — with houseguests, work, photography, travel planning, you name it. Besides the big brunch crowd last Sunday, I had a houseguest from France over the weekend, and a few hours after he left on Monday, my Austrian houseguests arrived. The spare [...]

(Soul II Soul’s track — arguably one of the best singles of 1989)
After about a week of laying low and working on various projects (except for the Summerlicious interlude), I decided to break the work-eat-sleep cycle and join in some meetups around town. On Thursday night after work, I took my houseguest Eve out to [...]

I took some engagement photos tonight for my friends Fancy and Rod, who are getting married in the autumn. (I’m flying back to Vancouver to shoot their beachside wedding.)
We had so much fun, but it became challenging to shoot after the sun went down because I didn’t have a tripod with me. This is handheld, [...]

A bunch of people are flying to Cuba so we had a bit of a Cuban-themed evening at the Batcave for them to get a taste of the country beforehand. We watched “Buena Vista Social Club”, drank sangria that I’d been marinating in the afternoon, and ate tapas that Maria whipped up in her kitchen. [...]

We’re all recovering from a wedding weekend in Wolterdingen near Soltau, eating and drinking and making merry to celebrate the nuptials of Iris and Torsten. I’m not on my own computer, so this post will be all of seven photos selected and hastily edited from some 300+. I have one last flight to make before [...]

We arrived safe and sound from Bremen and are staying with our first Norwegian host, who’s simply fabulous. I would describe his fabulousness in greater detail except I’m fading fast after sleeping all of three hours in three days. I just keep getting a second wind, then a third, and next thing I know half [...]

It’s 6 o’clock on Saturday morning and I have yet to go to bed. Why? I think my body is in some form of sugar shock.
A bunch of us invaded Maria’s place like a band of modern-day pirates, except we didn’t make off with anything except bellies full of nachos, pasta, cocktails, champagne, and a [...]

Jose-Jose’s fortune cookie is right — he is travelling far and wide. Actually, we all are, but he’s going the third-soonest after Anf and Rosie, who are leaving next week. That’s one thing I love about the CSers: everyone is either catching a flight soon or just got off a plane. Everyone’s on the move [...]

Traffic was pretty slow along the QEW heading back to Toronto after my inaugural trip yesterday to the Royal Botanical Gardens, and the smog alert was in full force (index of 6). Something tells me this summer’s going to be as brutal as the past winter…
I made it to Sushi on Bloor and — incredibly [...]

My flight to Toronto’s been delayed, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to post a few pics. Yesterday was a full day of family and friends and airports and beaches and — goodness gracious — enough food to feed an army.
I took my father and brothers to the airport yesterday morning, where they boarded [...]
