Picture taken in my father's shop during the luncheon, with the Panasonic LX3. Love the new toy. The quality of the photos and the stablilizer is amazing. Having a pocket size camera that provides the similar features as an dSLR camera is amazing. Will enjoying taking more photos.

Blog:: St United Motors

After 33 years of operation, my father's business has decided to close its doors and start the long process of relaxation and retirement. Picture taken during a luncheon to thank customers for their loyalty and friendship. St. United Motors will be demolished and will become home to many as a developer has purchased the property and will townhouse units will be built. It was nice talking to my father's customer's (some who have been going to him since before I was born) and talk about their memories of coming into the shop. A son proud of his father.

Graphics:: Langstaff Master Plan

A draft presentation board created for the Langstaff Site, a urban infill redevelopment proposal that can be potentially be the gateway between the Town of Markham and City of Toronto. Currently the site is composed of vacant lands and industrial uses and proposed to be converted to a mix of uses with plenty of residential units. Graphics on presentation board were created by Calthorpe Associates and Ferris + Associates Inc.

Blog:: New Toy

[04/13/2010] Just got my hands on the Panasonic LX3 as a point and shoot camera to complement my DSLR. My first impression is shock and awesome; shockingly awesome. The 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 aspect ratio is perfect for close up and landscape photography, which is key since after using a wide angle lense it really made a difference to how I compose shots. I can't wait to take it out for a spin, since now I have my day-to-day camera.

Landscape:: CN Tree

Find the CN Tower and win. Taken at Ward's Island in the conversation area, which as you can see, provided a unique view of one of Toronto's iconic structures. I also think of with all the "green" initiatives the City is pursuing with changes to policy and design, how Toronto would look after its all said and done...urban forest? Also I think of the life after people.

Spaces:: You may ask only one question…

...And I shall answer. What would you ask if you had such an opportunity? The meaning of life or a topic with no absolute answer as of yet? Or something pointless like how do they get the caramel into the Caramilk chocolate bar? Just another picture taken in the Bellagio.

Space:: Hint of Asia in Las Vegas

Taken in Bellagio. A amature photographer's dream with the amazing cultural designs and other statues. A definite eye opener.

Spaces:: Lost

Picture taken in the Scarborough Bluffs near The Guild, while walking down one of many paths.

HDR:: Toronto

Second HDR photo and I'm already getting tired of it. I understand how nice it can be when taken for that one appropriate or unique moment but its application has been used quite often, too often. Picture take from a friend's balconey. Lights are from a Toronto Raptors basketball game.
