I spent a couple of hours yesterday evening walking around Toronto's chi-chi Yorkdale area. It was the first weekend of the Toronto International Film Festival, and all sorts and celebs are in town, many of them holed up in exclusive Yorkville hotels. The Four Seasons Avenue Hotel (Steady, you stayed there at least once, IIRC) is pretty much Festival Central, and crowds had congregated hoping to see their favourite stars. Lots of papparazzi-looking types with huge long cream-coloured lenses and giant flashes prowled the neighbourhood.
I wasn't there looking for stars, I was there people-watching. Roger and his companion were there hoping, I suppose, that some of the money walking by might make it into his little bucket on the sidewalk. We chatted for about ten minutes, and both were remarkably gentle souls who don't deserve all the crap that life has thrown at them. This is my favourite photo of them: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2008/09/wolfpaw-on-job-with-his-human.html Comments always welcome. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
