I normally don't bring a camera to Toronto, simply because I rarely have a lot of time to go shooting when I'm there. It's a lot to carry from San Diego when I accept the reality that I probably won't use it.
But, I had it with me this week, so use it I did.
Toronto has a pretty good subway system; one I've never used before. I decided to go ahead and ride it, in the hopes that I might get some shots worth keeping. Tried to get a bit "artsy" on these:
Now, subways can be two things: They can be the conduit through which thousands travel every day to their jobs, shopping; what have you. They can also be a bit of a freak show:
I tried to figure out exactly what that girl's story was but, alas, I failed. Miserably. I simply can't reason why someone would not only do that, but why someone would do that and then go out in public.
Gotta' love the subway.
So, I'm in Toronto but, this time, I was not alone. Guitarist extraordinaire Marc Seal was with me for this week. Marc is the host of his own television show, call "The Ultimate Guitar Show". The guy is a monster player, and one Helluva' nice guy.
Anyway, Marc wanted to go to Niagara Falls, so away we went on Thursday. If you've never been there, it's pretty amazing. We were on the Canadian side which, evidently, offers a far better view of the falls than the American side.
To wit:
We had originally planned to go on Wednesday. Crossing the hotel lobby after breakfast, though, we looked outside to see that it was absolutely pouring outside. Hardly a good day for sightseeing. So, we waited a day, and we're glad we did. The weather was absolutely glorious. Mark was pleased:
Marc flew back to southern California on Friday, and I followed on Saturday. We've got another trip planned to British Columbia in May, and I always take my camera to British Columbia.
Stay tuned...
