Flew to Toronto for the weekend. Without business cards. Not really the smartest thing… and I was reminded of that even on the plane ride down. As a group of us in our section began chatting about my lack of self-promotion skills in the fact that I do not have cards made as of yet. It was a very good reminder.

It wa awesome to be in Toronto again. Had the wonderful opportunity to be a groomsmen in my buddy Curtis’ Wedding. On Friday night we sat around debating religious topics and conversing about music alongside old friends and loved ones. Then Saturday was celebrated him and his wonderful wife Kathy. It was a great time.. and of course I had to capture some of the behind the scenes moments of the day. It was interesting trying take pics without pissing off the ACTUAL photographer.

On Sunday I did a little photoshoot for my singer/songwriter friend Sarah. And while she posed and I fiddled with settings and buttons, we passed the time singing duets of Brooke Fraser songs. Definitely the quirkiest shoot I have done… but it was so much fun. Many laughs! Really looking forward to hear the final product of her record. I am sure it will be brilliant.

On Monday I made the long trek back to PEG CITY. Not sure when I will be able to visit Toronto again. Hopefully very soon. One thing I learned: take shots of everything. I found myself ignoring the impulse to grab a few shots. I need to embrace that feeling more.

(good times indeed)
