From Canada With Love

It’s my last night in Toronto and I’m shattered after another day of adventuring. Today I finally braved the streets on a borrowed bicycle, mirroring my usual instincts as best I could to avoid accident. A hearty brunch at Mitzi’s started the day followed by a trip out to Toronto...

…and another lovely lazy start to another gloriously sunny day. It’s been a wonderful trip so far, darting around town to visit my favourite areas and finding more, enjoying parks (Central and Prospect), cafes and diners and catching up with friends old and new. I’ve also been gathering field recordings...

I went to Southend for the first time last Friday – not for a Bank Holiday treat but to shoot a promo video for a client. We got the cloudiest, windiest day of the week…but that’s the weather I enjoy best at the seaside…I’m weird like that. More pics on...

I have a camera again, yayyyy! My senses have been sharpened from the lack of snapping hardware though, walking around for a month seeing wonderful little moments I could only note in my mind and walk away from has opened my eyes to new possibilities. It’s quite a relief to...
