Photo Adventure No.00: Dan The Man

Today I celebrate my good friend Dan Mines. He was the inspiration, catalyst and co-creator of my photo adventures. I met Dan in high school. At the time we were into skateboarding and spending time "loitering" in the town plaza. Years later after high school I ran into Dan in downtown Toronto. I made a silly joke about the cane he was using at which time he explained that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Our shared love of art, music and good old fun had us roaming the city's forgotten places with my camera in hand to capture our mischief. I miss my muse. PIX

Photo Adventure No.39: Francis Bacon & Henry Moore

The AGO is in the final days of exhibiting works by Francis Bacon and Henry Moore. As part of art class in high school I did a project on form using examples of Moore's sculptures and have been a fan ever since. His simple yet descriptive forms allow his pieces to reveal themselves to the viewer. In contrast Bacon uses form to hide or layer. Almost disguising his subject. mmmmm....Bacon PIX

Foodie Favourites No.20: Caribbean Bistro

When I go out for Caribbean food I find it hard to decide between Jerk chicken or a roti. Well at Caribbean Bistro I can get Jerk chicken in a roti! Tasty stuff. Even more so when accompanied with coleslaw and a Ting. Check this place out in the Yonge & Eglinton area. PIX

Foodie Favourites No.19: Me.n.u

Asian Fusion Street Food hits the streets of Toronto. Me.n.u is new on my radar for food trucks in the city. Specializing in crazy delicious rice balls. I love that these guys have a variety of $5 and $6 dollars items and better yet the #BallSoHard combo. Two rice balls and a taco. I got an Angry Bird - Singaporean Hainanese Chicken, Artichoke & Shitake Mushroom. A Gangnam Style - Bulgogi Beef, Kimchi, Roasted, Corn & Mozzerella Cheese and a Chicken Satay Taco. Sooooo much flavour. Can't wait to visit again. PIX
