a photographer and techie living in Toronto. I used to shoot rolls of film and use BBSes, now I'm here. I focus on infrared landscape and street photography, two great ways to get me off the couch.

The best part is real time live view in infrared and handholdable shutter speeds. Good use of an older camera when you upgrade the body too

Popped up in my memories, hiking 4 years ago today at Killarney Provincial Park. Showing a picture from my infrared converted camera compared to reality. Took pictures on the same camera today.

It's a fun way to see the world out there, just beyond sight.

I've never been to a more beautiful spot. It was just us and sunflowers as far as the eye could see.

Passed this sign for a sunflower walk near Sauble Falls Ontario, quickly googled them before my partner hit the brakes and we went back to see a million sunflowers.

Blooming Period: Our sunflowers typically bloom early August and last for 10-14 days.

But then I cut 3 more open yesterday and there's some funny black stuff inside :(

My account is dormant but I haven't deleted anything because there's a decade of pictures and posts. On top of all the Nazi tire fire stuff the last time I visited to watch a news video, Xitter auto-played a car crashing into a truck and exploding into flames right after. Ugh. Glad to be here.

I'm a few days out from a trip north. I can't wait to camp along the Lake Superior again.

Take a walk around the new Port Lands park Toronto's waterfront is home to a new park, now situated at the mouth of the Don River. Haydn Watters spoke to a longtime advocate who has been working to revitalize the Port Lands for 30 years.

I think something else yet to be announced is slotting into Scotia IMAX also as each day only has a single 7pm showing of JAWS listed, and nothing else so far.

They built a dynasty on hot dogs. Now they’re not speaking. Inside a Toronto family frankfurter feud Jack Kwinter’s hot dogs were once considered the best in Toronto. Decades later, the family hot dog is tearing the Kwinters apart.

I read about the feud this weekend, its a wild ride

Sunset Rock by the famous tree is especially nice. The heat radiates out after dark so you're warm while staying up at the stars (and peresids meteors if you're lucky)
