Zac
Via Flickr:
I noticed that Orchard View Blvd in the Yonge Eglinton area has been closed off for the last few weeks with chairs loosely arranged for locals to have a chat or enjoy their lunch. On my walk home today, it was the spot for a farmer's market and I looked around for a daily shot. I spotted the beautiful fresh fruits and veg at the Highmark Farms stall and Zac asked me to sit down for a chat. He works the 100 acre farm in Cookstown with five other members of his family and enjoys coming into the Toronto 3 times a week for local farmer's markets. Zac wasn't that keen on a portrait, but he let me take a few shots as we were talking and this last shot was my favourite as he had a little fun with the camera. You can find Zac and the farm on twitter at twitter.com/#!/highmarkfarms.
Zac is #97 in my 100 strangers project.

Olympian kids

My kids just got back from camp today, there were pretty tired, but my son summoned just enough energy to put a smile on my face for this one.

Hardev
Via Flickr:
It was a very hot day in Toronto and I was looking for a shot of someone playing in the water fountains at Yonge Dundas Square. I usually avoid photographing children for obvious reasons, but in this case I thought I'd take a chance at a more direct approach. The boy's Mom was the enjoying the water as well and they both looked so happy and relaxed, so I simply asked the mom if I could take a photo of her son. She quickly said "sure" and asked if I was with a newspaper. I told her photography was a hobby and after a few shots I gave her my card so I could share the photos with her.
Hardev and his mom are from Burlington, Ontario and were visiting Toronto for the day.

Art by Rothko; composition inspired by Carolyn
Via Flickr:
Part of The Abstract Expressionist New York exhibit at The Art Gallery of Ontario.
My brother used to be a professor of art, this work and Mark Rothko are perhaps his favourites. My sister-in-law took a shot like this with my his silhouette a few weeks before I got a chance to see the exhibit. Unfortunately I visited the exhibit alone so only had a strangers to use for this version of the shot, thanks a ton for the idea Carolyn.

Late night silly bugger time
Via Flickr:
This is the first time in 596 days, that I've had to cheat a little with the time for my daily shot. I had family and friends visiting all week and time just flew by and on this occasion we had a late dinner and before I knew it it was past midnight and I hadn't taken a single picture all day. I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped this one about 12:40am (although the exif info shows a wrong time thanks to PS Elements bug, but that's another story). I think I may have taken advantage of a late night / early morning shot the other way around (classifying it as a shot for the next day), so I hope you'll understand and agree with my family that it's ok to give yourself a break on occasion !
