At first glance, you might find this old doorway at the entrance to an 90 year old house somewhat quaint; maybe even possessed of some shabby elegance. A closer looks reveals cracked and peeling paint, broken stonework, cracked stucco, rot everywhere, mold, leaking windows and broken woodwork. Nobody loves this place anymore. Too bad - it used to be lovely. I like the angles and the textures. The sign lying on the right fell off the front of a sandwich joint next door but nobody bothered to pick it up for several days.

Mostly unnoticed, even by locals, this sign over the multi-level parking garage in Kensington Market near Chinatown in downtown Toronto looks great in the right light. With any sort of side light though (i.e., late morning to mid afternoon), it looks like the rusty, partly corroded old thing that it is. Time for a refurb. Still, it's part of the downtown landscape.

Everything pictured in this photo is worn out. There is little more than what you see here that is left of the entire old, narrow, two-storey house either. It is rotted through and through, so there is no point in trying to restore the eighty year old place. It was a home on a neighbourhood street corner for the first part of its existence. For many years after it housed a small neighbourhood grocery store. Then it was made over into a coffee shop. Then it was abandoned.

Taste of Italy and a Naughty Little Girl
agitater commented on agitater's gallery image in Uncategorized
This photo was taken at the June 2007 during the Taste of Italy weekend on College Street in Toronto. The little girl on the left kept running ahead of her parents, pausing every so often for them to catch up. Problem was, her parents kept losing sight of her. I watched them all for a few minutes and by the time I made this shot the girl's parents were starting to get getting downright cranky about the disappearances. -
A Couple Watching the Spaceship - Nathan Philips Square, Toronto
agitater commented on agitater's gallery image in Uncategorized
The city council chamber at City Hall in Toronto, at the north end of Nathan Philips Square, looks like an alien spacecraft getting ready to lift off. Lots of people come to the square just before sunset to watch shafts of sunlight lance between the curved towers on either side of the council chamber and split the fountain spouts into little rainbows. Some couples linger as the night lights come up. This pair had been sitting and talking and laughing for at least an hour. -
urban fauna A Taste of Italy 2014 . . . with Zombies!

A Taste of Italy, in the Italian Village in west/downtown Toronto along the College Street strip, is a blast every year. But with Night of Living Dead on a double bill with La Dolce Vita at the old Royal Theatre and with this zombified looking bunch of people all headed down the middle of the street in the same direction right in front of the theatre, I couldn't resist making this low angle shot. -
