love this pic..!

[joelz]

had a pretty chill day yesterday, bundled up for a bit of a walk:

there's a pop up gallery that has these on the outside of this building

then went to a concert

[riff]

Max & MHP - beautiful shots!

Farmer - like you, I'd have a hard time holding back from adopting the whole lot! You and B are terrific

Saturday started out as it usually does - taking my little girl to swimming lessons. What the pool looks like before dozens of crazed kids start splashing about.

Then we went to her music lesson - her teacher has started putting out the holiday decorations.

For our last evening before my wife comes home, we headed over to friends, planning to go downtown together to check out the light displays.

They live near Post Road, and we enjoyed the decorations all along that neighbourhood.

First off, we hit up city hall, where the "Cavalcade of lights" was happening that evening. It's the annual holiday lighting of the city tree, accompanied by live music, fireworks, and huge crowds.

We only stayed for a bit, worrying about how to keep three hyper-excited kids from getting lost in the madness.

Then we wandered our way through the downtown core, enjoying the display. None of the kids had ever seen the city at night, and oooo's & ahhhh's came floating from the backseat.

The waterfront had some cool stuff.

Eventually, we headed further west, approaching the Humber River, and pulled off into a parking area to take in the night view. The kids loved it, as there were dozens of beautiful white swans swimming in the quiet black waters.

After this quiet interlude, we drove back towards downtown again, stopping to see the CN Tower.

Heading north on Yonge street, the lighting was spectacular.

By that time, the kids were nearly asleep, so we went back to our friends, where I bundled our daughter into our car and drove back home.

The end.

solid post as usual, riff. anyway what lens(es) did you use? everything looks sharp

[riff]

Cheers Dimpra! Last night I used two Canon lenses: the 16-35 F2.8 L II, and the 135 F2 L.

[-Z-]

well riff you know I had my doubts on getting the 135mm f/2L... but you may have just convinced me. the bokeh is insane, and it is indeed as sharp as a tack, even handheld at night (which is where I want to use it)

thank you for making me spend an additional $1000 on my rig...!

[Farhad]

rff- so you did buy it coolio

[DocBlue]

i was in Roma today.....

beautiful houses....

even found on a wall a space invaders....

5 years old museum and a 500 years old church in total harmony...

I love design too..

[k1d.]

just a relaxed night with some bbq and jack

[lostinthesupermarket]

@riff: I can't believe you guys don't have snow yet.

[devilish]

Well, speaking of snow. This is coming back across the mountains from Reno to SF after Thanksgiving. Had to have chains on most of the way but weather only got bad right at the top. Pretty neat to look at though.

[kyledunn]

My sister's boyfriend was visiting for Thanksgiving (he's from Missouri) so I took them hiking today to a place neither of them have been in northern PA. Such a great day to be outside.

[-Z-]

Very good stuff lately everybody...

for me...just another night in the city. It was finally over 30 degrees today, so it was actually worth going out and shooting. I'm feeling creatively empty right now, so bear with me. I need more time to shoot...

I ran into the Holidazzle parade tonight as well. shot the entire thing. but i'm too fucking lazy to go through all of those photos. maybe another time?

The night began with a very nice sunset. unexpected as it was overcast all day, but broke through just as the sun was setting. I didn't get out soon enough, and I was speeding and flying through traffic as it was to get to higher ground. needless to say I failed, but snapped this from the car window as I sped past the Guthrie Theater district.

and began my walk in the best possible area of town. Sex World.

Snow was melting today with the warmer temperatures, so it was a very wet night out.

came across a bunch of interesting signs, tags, and other media tonight. here are some.

We might not have Rockefeller Center Ice rink, but they make one every year downtown in the park...not even close yet.

There was a huge ad for Captain Morgan Rum here a few weeks ago when I was shooting, now, an entire wall of Doves. one with a smiley face

Had to take relieve myself in an alleyway (was out for 4 hours due to the unexpected parade, and needed to go...) and found this behind a strip club in the warehouse district, appropriate, no?

and throughout my photographic travels, I always seem to stumble on left over furniture, its everywhere.

My favorite part about this section of town is how the sidewalks are about 2 feet above the street level each time they cross in front of a warehouse building. They never changed the height of the old loading docks that used to be there, and just put sidewalk on top of them. It gives the neighborhood a very unique feel, as you're constantly going up and down these areas.

Some concrete water sculpture, off for the winter.

a few more...

[-Z-]

did some people shooting as well.

mouthed, "can I take your picture" through the window to this girl, who was kind enough to say yes...

this one was a candid grab, but it great so i didn't want to miss it

and a crappy one. broken light. bokeh, boring.

[Max Power]

The last posts were stunningly beautiful. Did rep where I could.

[tvshooter]

Lovely photos, folks.

Back in the office today, more photo-editing. And a cold walk back, by the river.

[DocBlue]

[morse9443]

Good cameras out of batts, so here's some cell shots of my country retreat. My buddy has my car, so I'm stranded 20 miles out of the city...bored to death with no treez and mad dogs. could be worse I guess.

[riff]

Paul & Doc - lovin the pics. I need to go back to London!

-Z-, splendid as always! Yeah, the 135 is sweet. And Farhad - it's on my list, this was a rental! Maybe I'll try the 85 next...

TV - killer vest!

Morse - we should do a supercanine meet-up!

Dog park action today...

Lostinthesupermarket - it is surprising that we've no snow. But it's plently cold...

waywt

Earlier tonight, we hung out at my cousins place. The kids got to play - Flatheads in action!

The littlest one really likes sagging & stacks!

Tiger is special - I spent most of the evening chillin with him... Cat therapy!

[beatle]

so many great pictures - and nice, plenty of dog &cat love around these days...

[lowrider]

riff's killin' it as usual... in vegas all week w/o my dslr so here are some cell phone shots:

- yesterday -

woke up at 6am:

locked in the office most of the day but decided to hold my interviews of potential analysts at the nearby starbucks so i could get out for a bit - this candidate is taking one of our tests:

dinner at my fav chinese joint - interesting positioning of the pig head. wonder if they're implying that all men are pigs?

on my way to have a few drinks at rojo with an intern:

view from ghost bar:

[satchelbmoore]

my Momotaro + Context Grand Indigo Selvage 0701MCXX kicked it in greece last week:

[farmer]

Put the Christmas tree stand/fence up and started selling them. Trees wrap around the entire house this year.

Anyways to continue the dog theme... Our guy was actually feeling playful and mustered up the courage to walk around the house by himself.

[morse9443]

I'm in the market for a tree farmer. might have to swing up your way and see if I can squeeze a deal out of you..

[annabelle1308]

your dogs make my heart happy~ and here's mine from my very first wayjdt post

[-Z-]

i don't like little dogs...but that is a ridiculously cute dog. i feel like I would have trouble if my little girl ever saw that picture. She wouldn't stop asking for one, and I'd have trouble saying no!

[dkatz]

I'm feeling creatively empty right now, so bear with me. I need more time to shoot...

I think my favorite part about -Z- is how wonderfully comical he is.

Looks like a still from a film noir flick...
