Pink Toronto
Daily Photo – Pink Toronto
Here’s another one of the thousands of photos I got in Toronto. It’s such a cool skyline and pretty much every sunset was epic. See that sky tower thing? I forgot what it was called. Maybe Sky Tower. Anyway, my first time here I did a walk around the outside… that was pretty trippy but totally fun!

Beautiful Toronto at Night
Daily Photo – Beautiful Toronto at Night
One of the best views of Toronto is from a place called Central Island where you can grab a little ferry for cheap. This particular day was actually pretty rough because most of the island was flooded, meaning we spent most of the shoot ankle deep in water and mud.

Daily Photo – Chair Hopping in Toronto
We took a boat over to Center Island (not the best name, Toronto) to get a view of the city at sunset. The island has had a lot of flooding lately, and getting over to the prime photo spots required getting ankle-deep in mud and muck. Toronto has the Adirondack chairs all over the place. I guess it’s one of the “things” about that city. Anyway, a lot of them were stuck out in the flooding zone. This island is also popular for Asian wedding photos (we saw about a dozen couples out there). This groom-to-be was getting in position for one of their photos…

Toronto from the Railways
Daily Photo – Toronto from the Railways
When photographing new cities, I often randomly walk from bridge to bridge to see what I can find in terms of new perspectives. Most of the time, it’s a total bummer. But when you jump on Google Maps, you can often find bridges that go over railways. That’s usually a guaranteed winner situation because it makes for amazing leading lines the head towards an epic skyline… and it’s hard to do better than the skyline of Toronto.

Sunset in Toronto
Abandoned City in Iran
I saw this article on Reddit about an abandoned city in Iran and thought it was super interesting. I’ve seen a few of these around the world… it’s usually the fault of government corruption.
Daily Photo – Sunset in Toronto
We ended up in a fairly funny situation in Toronto. I had marked a spot on the map where I wanted to go take sunset photos in at the end of the dock. Curtis and I went there on our final night to get shots, but we did not realize that Caribana Toronto was going on. This is basically a huge street party for people in Toronto of the Caribbean descent. Man, it was wild. I can promise you we were the only two whities for miles… I looked so nerdy and white walking around with my camera. They were trying to figure out what the heck I was doing there! But, most of them were super drunk or high so they were super happy and nice… I was quite welcomed by the Carribean community in Toronto, so thanks everyone! 🙂

A Castle in Toronto! Casa Loma
Daily Photo – A Castle in Toronto! Casa Loma
Who knew there was such a cool castle in Toronto? Certainly not me! But, in our research, we found this place called Casa Loma. You may remember it as the castle Patrick Stewart lived inside in the X-Men movies. It’s pretty during the day, but I decided to go at night because of all the crazy lighting. Besides, castles are always a bit more romantic to me in the night.
Toronto in the morning from Humber Bay Park
Daily Photo – Toronto in the morning from Humber Bay Park
Early one morning, I had a new friend take us over to Humber Bay Park East to get a view of the sunrise. There is a lovely little walk there along the lakefront. We got up at about 4:30 AM and headed out there… I didn’t expect to see many other people, but we saw about a dozen or so around the track. It’s also cool that this place, as remote as it is, is actually connected to the main city of Toronto through a running and biking track.

Wild Night in Toronto at Caribana
Photos from Caribana
Here are a few photos from Caribana so you can see what it’s like! What a wild party… I want to go back! 🙂
Daily Photo – Wild Night in Toronto at Caribana
I didn’t know what I was getting us into when I recommended we head down to this pier in Toronto to take sunset photos. It turns out there was a MASSIVE party going on called Caribana. We were arriving just as the party was ending… and, let me tell you, we were absolutely the only white people there. But that’s totally cool. They seemed to really accept me into their community. Probably because they were all drunk and high. But hey, I’ll take it. I talked my way into the pool area after everyone had left to get this photo.

My Workflow in Toronto!
Speaking of Canada…
I thought I would share three fun photos from Canada. They’re all quite different, but I hope you enjoy!
And now on with the show…
My Workflow in Toronto!
At a recent art talk, I got many questions about my workflow. This is a fairly “boring” but important thing, so I decided to make a video for you that shows how I do this! Hopefully I keep it upbeat enough so that it is not too boring!
