The artist project
I went to “the artist project” at the Queen Elizabeth Building yesterday – thanks to Sean Galbraith for the ticket!
Aside from my friends (Sean at DK Photo Group and Celine Cimon), the artists who caught my eye were:
- Mark Berens – Canadian landscape artist
- Joseph Sampson – landscape painter
- Julie Desmarais – oil paintings of trees and landscapes
- Marni Grossman – fine art photographer
- Sandy Middleton – fine art photographer
There were many other interesting sights but these artists inspired me and gave me more to think about – hopefully I’ll be able to incorporate some of those ideas into my shots at this weekend’s photo walk.
Photo updates, February 2010
Where did February go? It seemed to be over before it started! I know I was still working on January’s photos almost into the middle of Feb, but I didn’t get out and shoot nearly as much as I expected.
- Robbie Burns – the annual scotch whisky evening with a couple of friends
- Toronto Photo Walks: High Park – another great turnout for TOPW; next one is March 13th
- The Bowes Brothers (from Carleton Place) performed at the Royal York hotel
- Flickr meetup at Rivoli
Don’t forget to check out my most viewed photos (which Flickr calls the “most interesting” set) and the other albums @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pah57/sets/, as well as my monthly round up posts (look for the “photos” tag).
If you’ve only got time to look at one or two photos, check out my “best of” photoblog @ http://paulsphotos.org/ – I only post one picture per week (sometimes less!), so I try to pick a recent shot that I really like.
And if you’re interested in exploring Toronto with your camera, check out TorontoPhotoWalks.ca (we’re on Flickr and Facebook too!).
Photo updates, January 2010
I managed to catch up with posting my photos during December but my New Year’s Resolutions Goals (and a lot of interviews!) have meant it’s taken me even longer than usual to post my pictures this month. I’ve also been building the Toronto Photo Walks group – we’ve now got over 150 members and we’re getting into the rhythm of going out every three weeks.
So, excuses over, here are some thumbnails from January’s sets:
- An evening out with friends at Duggan’s Brewery
- Toronto Photo Walks: Spadina Ave
- Snowball Workshop: Getting to Know Your Camera + Urban Photo Hunt
- Morris Auction Sales
- Flickr meetup, January 2010
- Tourist wander
- Toronto Photo Walks: The Beach(es)
