I'm Back! Back to the Blog, at least...I really didn't go anywhere. Which in itself sucks because I live to travel and I'm not planning any for this summer/Fall (cry). No travel plans is owing to the fact that I was originally supposed to be starting my MBA in the Fall. However, my employer gave me an offer to stick around that I couldn't simply ignore and, seeing as I'd really like to finish my MBA with as little debt as possible and also finish my Pro Photography diploma in advance of that, it makes too much sense to not make the most of the situation by saving up some more $$$ and get a year of "management" experience under the belt. So, it looks like I'll be deferring enrollment for a year, which I'm allowed to do under school policy, and saving coin between now and then. I am not happy about the possibility of not traveling for 2-3 years or more...my backpacking trips is what gets me through the year and I'm positively loathe to give up that up.
Anyway, I'm late with this blog because May was a crazy month. First off was the fact that I had a fair amount of work to do in order to prepare wedding proofs for my first "official" client. If interested, you can find them HERE.
At the same time, Masha and I went camping on the week of the 10th of May to Point Pelee National Park, this little spit of land (literally) at the southern-most point in Canada. Spring comes early to Pelee (about a weeks before Toronto), as it is roughly the same latitude as Northern California, so there was lots of greenery and sunny, warm weather to enjoy in early Spring. Also, May is the month of the bird migration, which meant not only did we have a ton of wildlife to observe, but also that Yours Truly wasn't the only geek in the area with 2kg of optical glass strung around his neck. The pictures from the trip, which included a really nice ferry over to Pelee Island (sitting a bench down from David Suzuki of all people), are HERE.
Next up was the Toronto Doors Open weekend, the one time a year when the city's architectural gems both old and new are opened up for tours by the general public. For me, its always a prime example to get into places with my camera where I'd normally be stopped by security. The pictures from that weekend, which included a tour of the National Ballet School and the newly minted Opera House, are HERE.
Anyway, that pretty much does it for the time being. I have another shoot coming up next week after coming back from my friend Kevin's campout, and then its summer festival time! I very much recommend the Beaches Jazz Festival if you're in the area. Until next time (it won't be as long before the next entry, promise!)
