The View From Almost The Top

February 16, 2010

This is a shot from the 56th floor of Commerce Court West. I think it’s the 2nd tallest business building in the downtown core.


Looking south-west towards the CN Tower and if you look beyond it, I believe the land at the horizon is Mississauga. I’m just going to take a guess and say it’s Jack Darling Park haha


I can’t remember which building above ground corresponds to the one in the PATH. I think this one’s First Canadian Place? lol

Red Prince Apple

February 7, 2010

On Friday, a few guys were dressed up in suits with Charlie Chaplin hats and handing out Red Prince apples.

Quick Facts

  • Grown in Thornbury, Ontario (near Blue Mountain)
  • Sweet and juicy like the Golden Delicious, cripsy and tangy like the Jonathan apple
  • Ideal for fresh eating, in salads or in baking and pairs particularly well with sharp cheddars and blue cheeses.

[Red Prince Apple]


Red Prince apples don’t have a distinct look.
This one looks like a Red Delicious but it didn’t taste like one, which is good because I don’t like Red Delicious apples at all.

 


The apples were wrapped in a transparent gold-coloured satin pouch with a few recipes.

Currently Reading: The Moment It Clicks

February 6, 2010

The Moment It Clicks is basically a collection tips from Joe McNally, an American photographer for National Geographic who’s pretty known in the photography community.

Every page has a story paired with a photo and includes a description of how the photo was shot. It’s like Joe McNally is chatting with you over coffee and telling you about each of those shoots. If only..but this is as close as I can get to that for now =p

I like that I can pick up this book at any time, whether it’s just for a quick read or for some inspiration.

Photoshoot

February 2, 2010

About a month ago, a couple of my good friends, Ming and Andrew, did a photoshoot to showcase Ming’s work as a hair stylist. I love that the studio floor was painted a bright bold pink :) I’m not into the colour pink but it stood out and brightens up the place.

Don’t let the sunlight deceive you. It was absolutely freezing cold outside that day but good thing we were indoors and had a great time.

By the way, it’s Tues, Feb 2..cool :)
