Toronto Meetup - Aug 26, 2007

[GoM]

Alright folks, let's get those shots up

*begins the long process of uploading, choosing and refining*

 

[GoM]

I guess I'll lead off, with Suzanne possibly making a mother wonder

 

[Chiller]

nice one man. At least nobody went after Suzanne with a meat cleaver this time.
I started to edit last night, and my computer tells me..."your out of freekin memory you moron", but in kinder words. Hope I can get some shots up today.

 

[GoM]

Aaaaand with anty's push, here we go

#1 - From a metal sculpture sale

#2 - Detail of a face on the side of the Metropolitan Church

#3 - Wine!

#4 - This poor little girl couldn't quite handle the noise of the Samba Squad

#5 - More Samba Squad

#6 - The other musical performance we saw, Dr. Draw

#7 - More D.D

#8 - More D.D

I guess I better get some group shots up...

#9 - Carl, looking awkwardly uncomfortable

#10 - Jeanne, receiving a little gift from a statue artist

#11 - The group shot. I believe the general consensus was "wtf is this kid doing..."

 

[LaFoto]

Hey. Cool!
You guys had a MEET-UP?
And I didn't know the first thing about it! Tsk!

More photos?
More?
More?

PLEASE!!!!!

 

[GoM]

And on the third day, LaFoto said "Let there be stick!"

Thanks for the stickage

 

[Corry]

That's not a group shot! You're not in it!

I love the shot anyway, though!

Now to figure out a way to get to Toronto while still remaining a poor college student.

 

[megapaws]

great stuff you've got there Stu. I guess I should see if I have anything to share. Faves have to be 2, 3 & 8... great perspective on that one! BTW, who's the "ghost" in that last shot? :lmao: Damn... I'm so friggin pale

 

[Chiller]

Excellent shootin Stu. A good time as always.

Well, in between trying to get these calender shots ready, I threw these together.

Anty getting lucky. I guess this is for being on time.

Small drummer from the Samba band.​

o.k...this guy kinda freaked me out. He is a security guard...for real, complete with mullet in a pony tail. He was tougher then nails. He was so cool , he smoked too.​

Enforcing the law on his Crackberry.​

A familiar face in the crowd​

snapshot of a popular site​

.........more to come...soon. ​

 

[megapaws]

Here are some of mine...

1) the reason that Antarctican was on time... sorry Jeanne, couldn't resist once again

2) another take on Jeanne's first kiss

3) Buskerfoot

4) more Somba Squad

5) this was my favourite member of the "squad". However, unlike Stu, once I found my spot, I was too lazy to get up for a better angle

6)

7) the crowds were thick for most of the entertainment, so I kept attempting the over the crowd shot... without much success mind you. This shot isn't much, but I just love the little guys smile

8) and this is for Chiller... yet another over the crowd shot - oops, but how bout them shoes?

 

[Chiller]

Great shots Suzanne.. I want those shoes too.:thumbup::thumbup: Funny how everyone got a shot of Jeanneys first kiss. :lmao:

 

[GoM]

Not only that, but I sent it into the paper for the Buskerfest event. It might get published through Beaches-Danforth

 

[Antarctican]

 

[Antarctican]

Stu sees some Mountie wannabes, and falls into step. (Uhh, Stu, watch where you're stepping, behind those horses….)

I tried to take a candid shot of Stu in the crowd, but he spotted me.

I had better luck getting candids of Suzanne/Megapaws as she stopped traffic with a peaceful protest sit-in, while Carl took pictures in the background

 

[LaFoto]

Oh dear! Yes!
You should seriously watch your step behind those horses!
Imagine what they might eventually drop!!!

That looks like a very cool outing.
What was it?
Is it something that is on every weekend, or was it a special event?

(Sorry for asking dumb questions ... I might as well go read the planning-thread for this..... but this is so much easier :greenpbl: )
