U of T's new
Pharmacy building (after I took this
earlier shot) and came up with this new, somewhat darker photo. Once again, I converted this to black and white using
The Gimp. This photo's

>>Untitled - For some reason, I like taking photographs of alleys and laneways, especially if there is a sense of disorder or decay. I also like bins, be they for garbage or recycling. I couldn't think of a good title for this photo. This photo's
Flickr Page.
Photoblogs I like, part 1. IstoicaEVERYDAY: I met Christopher and Jessica, the photographers behind this blog, at the Gladstone during the International Photobloggers Meetup. Since then, I have gone through most of the archives of this blog. I admire all of their photographs - the ones I have seen anyway. I think they have an exceptional talent for portraiture and they have produced some especially engaging portraits. Here are two examples:
Sam (from
Daily Dose of Imagery); and
Bars Before Windows. You can also visit Istoica on Flickr at

Queen Street, west of
Bathurst Street, in some sort of alley or laneway. I can't say that I like this photo, but someone chose it as a favourite on
Flickr, so I guess I am wrong again. This photo's

<< | home | >>Protest &
Counter-Protest - In case you missed it,
Ryerson University conferred an honorary doctorate on Margaret Somerville today. She is an ethicist and an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage. Many faculty members, staff, and LBGT community members protested the award. Some turned their backs when the degree was conferred.
Three masked men (I assume they were men) showed up to stage a counter-protest. Their protest was weakened significantly by their cowardly masks and ridiculous slogans.
View the above photo's on Flickr: one; two.More photos:

This was taken behind Varsity Arena at the University of Toronto. I am fairly certain that this area has been razed for the new Varsity Centre. This photo's
