@ Queen St. West
I first saw Asia, waiting by herself near the streetcar stop. I was so worried she's hop into a streetcar that I kept turning back and making sure that I'd have enough time to approach her and snap a few shots before the streetcar came. Luckily for me, she was just waiting for a friend. Really talented girl who's made all her jewels (rose earrings a necklace). You can find them on her website http://wildmoonjewelry.com/

You can imagine my excitement when her friend arrived and also turned out to be great photo material!

Favorite items: Army jacket that happens to have her name sowed on! Got it from Pretty Freedom in Kensington market, where you can also find her jewelry.

@ Ruins ~ Queen St. West

Absolutely loved shooting these two. I can't put my hands on it, but there's just something really unique about them. I gotta say the last shot is one of my favorite.

Occupation: Insurance investigator (Vera), Chemist/tennis blogger/designed clothes from the store Ruins

Favorite items: Pizza wallet (Vera) and by the way, she's the one who decided to put it in the bicycle basket for the shot. Great idea!    Tibetan pendant (Wolf) that he got from... not Tibet but Mexico; and his jacket that he designed.
