Objects are closer than they appear
Sporadic entries, I know. Howver, I have booked myself an exhibition space in August, and had better get up to speed. I honestly don't know where to start - but as I was browsing through the photos and pics that survived the demise of the ol' desktop, I found this. Epitomizes the city for me...all the energy is in the getting there and back again.

Getting off the Gardiner and playing with Photoshop
(or it's equivalents).
I like playing with pictures, for any purists out there who think that photoshopping is cheating, well, think twice. I think it's important to get it right it the viewfinder, but his step is often a mediation point for me and some further drawings. Photoshop? It's a tool....same as a pencil.
Anyway, I have a major clog in the creative artery, but this random point and shoot caught my eye because it's all the signage you need to get "to the downtown Toronto". (A city I live right on top of, but don't know and should; a city I would like to explore some more; a city who's sense of beauty I haven't figured out.
