Skywatch Friday - Waterworks in black & white
Here’s my post for this week’s . I snapped this photo at the Waterworks in the east beaches of Toronto just before Christmas. Hope you like it.
More Escalator Action!
This photo comes from the new Yonge/Dundas Square complex in the heart of downtown. For those not from Toronto, the Yonge Dundas Square is our version of Times Square in NY. I was hoping to get out onto the patio overlooking the square for some photos, since this patio is three or four stories above the road, but when I got to the restaurant I was too shy to ask if I could slip out onto their close patio to snap a couple of photos. Oh well. But I did sneak a photo of the escalators on my way back down.
The Monoliths have arrived
This group of monoliths are situated at the entrance to one of the big bank towers downtown, near King St. and Yonge St. I thought they would make a great photo. Hope you like it.
Start3D: Turn Your 2D Photos 3D
 ~ |
|||
We’ve been taking regular old flat photos for years, but lately we’ve heard rumors about a so-called “third dimension.”
A new site called Start3D takes a baby step towards your own personal Holodeck, popping 3D life into 2D shots — with no crossed eyes or funky frames!
Start by taking two photos side-by-side, a left and a right version to match each eye.
Then Start3D waves its magic hands, and shazam! The images blossom into a wiggling animation, sliding smoothly from left to right like it’s right there in front of you for reals.
Welcome to the third dimension! You’ll love it here. Be sure to check out that long flat thing that we call “the horizon.”

Today Only, 5 Duds, $0.00
I don’t know about where you live, but that price for Duds is pretty darn hard to beat. This photo is from my Friday evening outing a while back. Hopefully I’ll be the proud owner of a new camera in time for the warmer weather and will be able to get out and get some sweet night shots. This one is a store on Queen St. E. in the beaches.

I haven’t really missed those paints…until this week…

the fever for blending colors…
the fever for creating a big mess…
and I have figured out a medicine that will cure this fever…
the combination of
♥ painting + photography ♥

in the meantime…got a minute?

A Building with Nine Stories to Tell
This skinny looking building on Church St. at King St. seems pretty run down and, frankly, a bit scuzzy. My camera, however, seems to like run down and scuzzy, so snap away I did. The colour photo was nice but I think the black and white version really tells the story better. Hope you like it.
25 King St. W., Toronto
This old guy was walking around checking out the details in various buildings. We seemed to be on the same path. The first photo I took of him wasn’t all that interesting, but this one I like. Hope you do too. 25 King St. W. is in the heart of Toronto’s downtown core.
