Eat me
April 4th, 2009
This is an out-of-season post for a rainy day.
I went down to Preston St. on a day in February. None of my pictures had pic of the day quality, but I wanted to show you some of them anyway.
Here’s the arch they have down there to show that it’s Little Italy.
This is under the Queensway. I tried to make something out of this picture, because I like the attitude in the young woman’s stride and the way she’s got a cigarette stuck dead centre in her gob, but I couldn’t do it. The light is poor in the underpass and I just couldn’t get the contrast to work, couldn’t get the detail I wanted. I might still try again sometime.
In front of the new government building. Although it’s similar to the one above and the lighting is better, this one never had as much potential.
Whenever I walk by this laneway I take a picture. It seems to have intriguing lights and shadows. Then when I get it home it isn’t anything. Maybe now that I’ve posted one I’ll stop wasting pixels on it.
Preston St. is booming with new businesses. A lot of them have cool signs. Here’s Stoneface Dolly’s Eat Me sign.
Birra Friulana.
Black Cat Bistro
These folks have translated Kimchi into French. I wish them well but still I have to ask, How much kimchi is too much kimchi? Especially with SooRa gone.
Someone has gone to the trouble of making a stencil so they can put their message up on buildings, but I don’t know what it says or what it means. Any ideas?
Just one more. This is my popcorn popper. On that day in February I tortured it to within an inch of its life in Photoshop and Lightroom. (Well, I kind of like it.)
Bye for now… I hope you will enjoy this rainy day!
