I did it, I went to see Royal Wood live at Hugh’s Room and he was fan-bloody-tastic! As you can see I scurried up to the front near the stage and got extra close with my 50mm, but I shot entirely in RAW format, so it’ll be about Christmas by the time I get through [...]
What started out as an errand run turned into an impromptu photowalk and an evening at the pub. That seems to be the theme of this past week: since returning from Quebec City late Monday, I went out on Tuesday (house party), Wednesday (Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe), Friday (Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe), Saturday (C’est What) and Sunday [...]
I met up with Peter and Lauren this evening at C’est What on Front Street, a brew/vin pub in the St. Lawrence Market area, fully expecting a tableful of muddy people eating dinner.
Let me back up a bit…
The Beer Festival is on this weekend, and if you’re in the general vicinity you’ll know it was [...]
A rather cruddy photo of our Couchsurfers gathering, but the only one I took, in the end. A bunch had just departed for the evening, so this is around two-thirds of our total turnout at the outside patio of the Sicilian Cafe. About seven or so of us diehards that were left closed the place [...]
My new Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 lens got a real workout over the weekend, especially on Sunday! I’ll leave the writeups until I get more time. For now, just a few of my favourite photos from Pedestrian Sunday at Kensington Market and a couple of experiments taken at the Beaches.

3 Comments Published by Gail July 26th, 2008 in Food + Drink, Friends, Out + About(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 [...]
On account of my knackered body and peeling face from Sunburn Sunday, the furthest I ventured away from home yesterday was 10 minutes’ walk to the beach to see if I could get some shots of the fireworks. I did make a separate trip to Vincent Sushi for a roll and miso soup, but it’s [...]
Too Much Sugar, Methinks
0 Comments Published by Gail May 24th, 2008 in Food + Drink, Friends, Out + AboutIt’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 [...]
The Non-Stop Weekend, And A Meme
2 Comments Published by Gail May 5th, 2008 in Memes, Polls, Quizzes, Out + AboutUmbrella Drink (not mine)
Swan & Firkin Pub
Bloor West, Toronto
Whoa! The past two weekends and the weekdays in-between have been the busiest I can remember since I moved here. I didn’t even get a chance to write about the previous weekend, and now another weekend has passed and it’s Monday?? How can this be?
Well, first things [...]
Flickr + Reposado Bar + CONTACT Photography Festival
3 Comments Published by Gail May 2nd, 2008 in Flickr Toronto, Food + Drink, Out + AboutFlickr’s Community Manager Heather Champ is in town partly because she’s speaking at a conference up north and Flickr is also a sponsor for Toronto’s annual CONTACT Photography Festival taking place all of May. She invited us to have “a drink and chat” at the tequila bar called Reposado on Ossington between Dundas and Queen, [...]
