The Neighbours Shed..
Yeah I know, bikes instead of babies, sheds instead of babies. I love taking photos of kids but I’m feeling restless. I have all kinds of ideas for a new portfolio with kids and babies, I’m starting work on it now.
For some reason lately and this is rare for me I just feel like walking around with my camera. The last time this happened it was ten years ago and I had just moved to the city. For the entire first year I wandered with my camera. I took thousands of shots, I’m not even exaggerating. I had no purpose for those photos, they where fun to take. It helped me to get know the city. When I look back at those photos I remember what it was like to be new here and not know anyone. My life felt like a blank page, a new chapter. Life was slow moving then and it was very peaceful, it should have been lonely but it wasn’t at all. I loved exploring and going to new stores and restaurants for the first time. Traveling through the alleyways and side streets. I’ve been here so long now and it feels more like home everyday. But Toronto still has a way of making me feel like everything is fresh and ready to be explored, maybe because it changes so quickly, always something new to see. I guess this is why I don’t leave here, I never get bored.
