Story: We were having a couple of drinks in the meat packing district. The district is going through a massive renovation and scaling up to the upper classes of society. Not sure why we were admitted. The restaurant was located on top of one of the building. This was one of the views. I was fascinated by the rooftops with so many plants of them. Just did not seem like our image of New York.

Story: Not much to tell. At the foot of the Rambla stood this building, a youth hostel of sorts. Busy place in spite of the disrepair. I did not go inside to see what state the building was in. Barcelona renovates a lot of the old building, maintaining the facade, while erecting an new inside. An technique that has been perfected in Montreal.

Story: We had a great time in Mexico City. By all accounts a very dangerous place to be. We were told umpteen times to not ever, under any circumstances to take flag down a taxi, Always, under all conditions, call the hotel to send you a car.
A car picked us up at the airport. A wonderful young man who spoke English drive us into town. We booked his services the next day. Cost us around $140. Worth every penny. The young man drove us from place to place, waiting patiently for us to return. Our shopping bags were put in the trunk. The camera was the only give away that we were not locals.
This picture was taken outside a cathedral in the core of the city. One of those pictures that appealed to me. The right amount of shade and shadows, light beaming in, and the very imposing structure.

Story: We went out for dinner. I had a Sony Cybershot at the time. A whopping 2.1MP to take pictures with. It was a lot at the time. Shows how much we have progressed since. The camera was very slow which turned out to be a good thing. You could take trick shots. This is a bit harder now, but still possible.
These appear to be smoke rings defying all laws, just floating in mid air. This shot was taken at night, without a flash. This caused the shutter to remain open for a longer period than usual. Waving the camera around made sure that everything is out of focus, giving the picture an eerie look.

Story: Could not believe that the panels were so available for anyone to touch. The symmetry of the panels was also attractive for some reason.

A picture of the Armoury building in Toronto located on University Avenue. This picture was taken looking out onto University Avenue.
Could there be a more garish display of conflicting building structures? At once fascinating and jarring, this picture was taken in the Old Montreal district.
Date: May 2009 Location: Toronto This is a small park in downtown Toronto. I came across it one day quite by accident. Not that is out of the way or anything, just not a place you walk through with great regularity. I decided to take a few pictures. There was a steady stream of people [...]
Date: May 2010 Location: New York City Went for a walk in the early morning hours, again. It amazes me how many time you attempt to take a picture and some passerby ruins it by walking in front of you at the last minute. It also amazes how you do not notice the disturbance until [...]
