f/2.8 -- 1/8 -- iso 200

he talks baby language, drools like there's no tomorrow, and all he wanted to do the entire time was put my camera in his mouth... .... it was my first time shooting kids so I'm glad at least ONE good shot came out of it...

Conversation with my cousin...

abby (12 years old): "I have a funny joke for you... listen... LISTEN!!"
minty: "okay, okay, okay... tell me"
abby: "the police found a man dead in his house... and when they walked up to him... they saw him trying to dial 1-1-9" *laughs*
minty: "huh?"
abby: "no wait... wait..."
minty: *blink blink*
abby: "uhh... it was funnier when I read it in the book"
minty:

apparently, the man in the joke was dyslexic... and she forgot to mention that.... but even with that extra detail... the joke still sucks... haha

went to the Rogers Cup on Monday and I did a bit of shooting... as usual... lemme know what you think... good OR bad...

(please forgive this last shot as I couldn't get the ball in the frame... just a little "rust" from not shooting for so long... )

Slowpokes...

I'm standing in the subway car as the train pulls up to Bathurst station... when out of nowhere, these two women push me out of the way to get in front of me and closer to the doors... I don't care - in fact I found it very humourous... I'm guessing they were in a hurry to get somewhere... so its all good...

UNTIL...

immediately after we get off the train, we have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the streetcar... and these two women, whom after pushing me out of the way in the subway car... take their sweet-ass time getting up the stairs and are carrying a conversation that is also slowing them down...

so why am I mad?

because I missed the damn streetcar by 10 metres!!!... and had to wait 30 minutes for the next one!!! 

therefore... would someone please explain to me the logic behind making it look like you're in a hurry to get off the train... but when it comes to leaving the station, you're the slowest fuck alive... grrrrr... *shakes left fist in anger* 

McRae Point...

I know, it's been almost two weeks since I came back... but it took me a few days to recover... and summer school's been a tad insane since I came back... but nontheless... here are some pics from camping...

home sweet home... (notice the hobo - josh - in the background.. haha)

during our hike... jackie and mai in the back... mayank and I in the middle... heekee and her cousin in the foreground... (not sure what heeks is trying to do to her cousin though...)

josh and I during a stopover in barrie...

mayank and heekee...

kevin and the little bird he found...

riz and the bird... turns out the bird deceived all of us... it was able to fly the entire time and flew off after we gave it a nice meal and undivided attention... >.<

michelle and jasher... sharing an intimate moment behind a towel... haha

left: michelle dressing me up... right: the result of michelle dressing me up... (notice jackie in the bg... she got it worse than me... with the crown and everything.. )

joe the bartender...

this pic of michelle never fails to crack me up...

mai eating her tomato... and mayank wishing he could have a tomato too... haha

bbqing shrimp... (joe, riz, mayank, me, and melissa)

fun in lake simcoe... (that's me on the right, jumping for the purple ball)

beach vball... the net was a little crappy and the sand was rock solid... but we managed to have fun...

Motherfucking coward...

was standing in line at the don mills station platform waiting for the 190 bus to come... (and dammit, it took forever... >.<)... so it arrives.. and people start filing in... this middle-aged woman begins boarding... and the dude behind her (looks like he's in his early 50s) steps on her heels... so she turns around and gives him this dirty looking stare - it was probably the funniest stare I've ever seen in my life... pure jokes... I was ready to burst out laughing... turns out the dude didn't think it was so funny...

so he gets on and pushes the woman out of the way... I'm standing there in shock... but the woman, to her credit, does a 180 degree turn and nails the dude with all the bags that she was carrying... I'm ready to laugh so hard...

until the guy bodychecks the woman and she goes flying...

so I quickly get on the bus and confront the dude... I ask him what's his deal... hitting women 2/3 his size... he doesn't look at me and pretends I'm not there... so I gave him a shot to the face... he flinches... but again, he doesn't look at me... I should've gave him another shot... it was quite tempting...

I hate cowards... he was lucky he didn't get off at the same stop as me... cuz me and three other random people were ready to dish out an ass whipping to him... I remember exactly what he looks like though...

I also walked by a house where a sprinkler was left on the driveway... and... I kid you not... the driveway was being watered... not the grass... not the flowers... not even the car... but the driveway...*shrugs*

during the break in my science class today I ran to the Falafel Hut to get a snack... and I see one of my old sports writers from Excalibur working there... great guy.... he was my cricket writer... turns out he ran for the sports editor this past year and lost... I was about to explain to him the politics of that newspaper.. but I ran out of time... >.<... all I can say... is that I'm glad he didn't get the job...
