Freshside/X marks the spot

This is how he waits for an Uber. Sorry, ladies and gents. He’s taken.

Summer blues

Woman in blue flowing through the afternoon rush foot traffic. The pale blue immediately stood out along with the beautiful necklace. Also loving the horse graphics on her bag.

Blanco Stopped at a red light and dialing his phone, I spotted this gentleman's leather handlebars and satchel and readied the camera as I approached him. The scene has barely any colours, which I found rather attractive. After I lowered the camera, the man and I exchanged a friendly smile and went about with the rest of our day.

Walkway A catwalk created by the sunlight. This gentleman is like a model on the street to me. Minutes after I got this shot, the sun had set below a low-rise and the walkway disappeared with it.

The Pimp of Eaton

A few months back, I made the mistake of not having a camera on me and walked past this man near Eaton Centre. His cane, the rings and his general swagger; I was filled with regret. However, lightning can strike twice and this photo is my redemption.

Asymmetry

Spotted this girl’s vest from a ways off and I just had to get a photo of her. I was holding a water in one hand so I had to shoot this with my free hand and it came out with everything behind the girl a little tilted, but she somehow seems upright.

Headspin

At the advice of some friends, I checked out the sixth floor of the Student Learning Centre and I'm glad that I did. The instant I stepped out of the stairwell, I could hear thumping on the hardwood. Walking out of the corridor into the main space, the only thing I can focus on is the man breaking it down in the middle of the floor. I'll have to come back another time to check out the rest of the floor.

Street artists

While camping outside Ryerson's Image Centre, I sat next to two artists drawing in their pads. In the hour that I was there, they shifted positions to draw new things a couple of times and I think they might have even drawn me at one point, so here's me returning the favour.

Sneakerheads

Early moments of a queue building up outside Foot Locker for a suspected shoe release. I really like that the colours in this photo are really soft for the most part, but elements of red pop out throughout.

Shimmer

Clean white top and pants. As this woman walked under the spotty shadow of the tree next to her, the contrast showed the detail in her pants where it would have otherwise reflected pure white light into the camera had it been under direct sunlight.

Buttons

Emerging out of a crowd, this girl's hat along with her cool demeanour instantly caught my eye. The sheer number of buttons and the effort she must have gone through to collect them all. I’d be terrified to wear a hat like that in case a pin pops and stabs me in the scalp. No, thank you!

Yellow

A matching couple standing with their bikes. I walked right past them and doubled back because the yellow wheel caught my attention. Now that I look at it, I can't help but notice other yellow elements in the background.

Blue steel

Strutting down the sidewalk, this gentleman's facial expression reminds me so much of the looks male models have as they walk down the runway. Focused and cool. I'd be remiss to not take a photo.

Impatience

Spotted this stylish gentleman waiting for his bus on College. I stopped quickly to set up the shot, and as I pressed down the shutter button, he leaned out and turned his head to look to the distance for his bus while giving the camera a great shot of the disdain he’s feeling for the TTC at that moment.

The littlest bicycle

Crossing the street, I spotted this gentleman riding the most adorable bike. It’s like something out of a circus. I knew I had to get a picture of it before I missed it completely. As I stopped in my tracks, the man sensed I was about to get a picture of him on his little bike, so he flashed a warm smile to complete the photo.

Bikewalker

This is purely speculation, but I have to assume that it’s pretty much impossible to ride a bike when you’re wearing a pencil skirt, so I’m not entirely sure why this woman brought her bike out with her. Perhaps I’m completely wrong and she actually can ride the bike, but is being responsible and walking it instead while she’s on the phone.

Distracted

I’m not entirely sure what he’s looking at because of the shades, but I’d like to think that he’s looking into to camera to give it that connection. The raised eyebrow seems to confirm my assumption, unless I missed out on something crazy happening behind me.
