 @ Queen St. West

Up until now, I've always been complaining about how the lights are way too short on University and Queen. 
But you know what, it turns out to be the best spot to trap people half way through the crossing.
5 seconds left, 4, 3, 2, 1 .... and there we were, the two of us in the middle of the intersection.
Such a sweet heart! Really liked her yellow/green pairing.

@ Queen St. West

So pleased to have found these two! They totally stood out among the crowd. 
Despite the fact that I always promise the people I approach that "it'll only take 5min", I think I must have spent 15min with them, trying to get as many shots as possible.

(My favorite part in these shots --> Andy's reflection in the window ~)

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!

Occupation: Jewelry designer (Asia), Student (Ify)
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.

More about the store.

She didn't want to be taken in picture at first, but then agreed to as long as she didn't have to look at the camera.
But hey, I personally think she looks great, and the shots turned out really well ~

@ Dark Horse Cafe, Queen St. West

Alex was so much fun to shoot. I gave him absolutely no directions whatsoever, but as soon as the camera was on him, he was totally picture ready, stood up, took off his glasses, etc. 
It's always a pleasure when the person being photographed is also enjoying the shoot. Totally doubles the fun!

@ Queen St. West

Loved her unique style. I saw her walking out of this store and I just had to stop her.

The store itself would have served as a perfect colorful background for this shot, but unfortunately too many people were walking on the side walk, so I just had to resort back to the regular side ways shot.

Occupation: Student
Jacket: Some boutique on Queen St.
Favorite item: Bow tie
My personal fav: Her hand bag, made from recycled vinyl ~ Montreal
