Fall Walk

I decided to post a video I shot today. Bryon Zammit edited it on his Fancy Apple Notebook pro because I have no more laptop! Be sure and check out his photos

Close Motor

The beautiful thing about telephoto lenses is getting your eye closer than it would be safe or even possible physically. The shots that fascinate me most are details of already large objects such as the engine of this plane coming in for a landing at Toronto Pearson Airport.

Prepared for Rain

Got my raincoat and my rain cover for the camera. I'm shooting the Audi Best Buddies Challenge and it's supposed to rain tomorrow.Today's Urbanities photo is one my friend Lindsey Ryder took of me at the Run for the Toad race on another rainy day.

Too Many Blogs

Hey, I just remembered this blog. What a nice idea. I think I will start posting again and try not to wait almost a year between posts. I guess as my 2008 365 project is a fail. Same for 2009. Oh well no time like the present to start 2010! Wish me luck in 2011! Time flies baby!

The nice thing about having multiple blogs out there is coming across them by mistake! My first image for 2010 is of a chipmunk who decided to wait for a train right on the track till the very last second to jump off. Well I assumed that was his game since a train never came but it makes for a more interesting story. No?

Game Envy

My favourite sport is People Watching. These guys were playing with their Nintendo Games but the guy on the right really wishes he didn't leave his at home!

The Slavation Army Citadel

Salvation Army Citadel A.D.1918

My Grandmother used to Bang the drum and lead the parade through downtown Paris, Ontario to Church on Sunday Mornings, One of my fondest memories!

It is no longer a Salvation Army but still stands proudly by the bridge on the way in to town.

New Park!

They finally took the fences down after improving the park across the street. I'm going to enjoy it this summer!

Fountain off Wellington

The Newspaper says the City of Hamilton is going to remove the fountain and send it to the USA for repair. I guess Hamilton doesn't know enough about Steel!

The Century Theatre

The Century Theatre

The thing I love about Hamilton is they keep the old buildings. There are rumors that they will fix up this old theatre. I really hope they do. I would love to see the inside of it before they fix it up or tear it down.

Lister Block Collapse

Hamilton Ontario/MEDIASHOTS
A recent partial collapse doomed a King William Street heritage building to be scheduled for a gradual demolition with intentions to save ornamental windows and fixtures for future reconstruction. Saturday afternoon workers in the rear of the building were notified by passersby that pieces were falling from the front of the building. After a closer inspection it was decided that the building must be taken down immediately. Police blocked traffic while crews prepared hoses to reduce dust as an excavator carefully demolished the front facade. At the same time two workers in a basket brought down the remaining side brick walls by hand. With little effort the bricks dramatically came apart.
