First I must apologise to any readers who may be vegetarian. This photo is part of my photo a day challenge. It’s a neon sign over a butcher’s stall in the St Lawrence Market in Toronto. I took the picture, because to me it “screamed” raw, red meat, as in BBQ’d steak perhaps. For meat lovers especially […]
I wasn’t thinking of writing this photo up – but the more I look at it, the more I see some interesting relationships. It has an other worldliness about it and for people who would like to make their products, services and /or themselves out of this world, here is my take. 1. The photo was
I am still taking pictures in the photo a day challenge. I actually got up my nerve to post this one to the Globe and Mail’s website. They set challenges every week and people from all over the world take pictures – all over the world. Here is the one I posted for the challenge

I took the picture without a flash, through glass, into a mirror…and the cookies are wrapped in cellophane – there’s magic in them thar lenses!!! Maybe the retail lesson here
Cake from Half Baked Ideas on Mt. Pleasant Day 6 in the photo a day challenge is another shop window shot, only this time I stepped out of the way to remove my reflection. The cafe is called “Half Baked Ideas” – I personally think that it should have more of a positive name, because
Sometimes I feel like a motherless piece of Playmobile. I was scouting out some interesting picture possibilities and I almost missed this little guy. Someone had left him on the windowsill of one of the shops on Mt Pleasant. Perhaps a child had been looking in the window and left him or he had been
Black-Eyed Susans This is day 5 in my photo a day challenge and I just happened to have picked this jug of Black-Eyed Susans. There was something about the jug that reminded me of the sunflower pictures of Van Gogh. Van Gogh “Sunflowers” The picture is actually a cross between a Van Gogh and a
