Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan. Gamelan is a traditional ensemble of Indonesian percussion... and it's dreamy as hell. This particular group hails from Canada, but my Indonesian friend approves and actually trains under a couple of them who have dedicated their lives to the art. And incredible performers, too -- a bunch of us strangers were sharing "wow"s and cheering in the pews.
I've passed this church on Gladstone countless times, but only had reason to enter today for a concert. I had no clue how massive and jaw-droppingly beautiful it is inside. For a moment, I actually thought I was in a city that cared about its history. Zing! Ha! Totally not what I was expecting from Dundas and Dufferin.
My records indicate 4 years ago today, I was on this island, creepily staring down at a man sunbathing. Also, @ladbible just posted something, reading, "I'm not sure what's scarier... the fact 2010 was 7 years ago or that 2020 is in 3 years," and I may possibly be having a TIME-IS-FLYING freakout/midlife crisis. My only response to that is... well, where should I go next?
Sign of the liberal times? "REFUGEES ARE WELCOME HERE!"
I thrive on spontaneity over planning... so when I learned a few days ago that these two flew to Toronto last-minute, hopped into a Club Monaco for some threads, and planned to get married in front of their closest family members, I had a feeling I'd really dig them. ❤️
Life is better with selfies.
Sometimes you go through life thinking you've figured it all out, human nature and everything, and then things like Manchester happen, and you're reduced to tears, silent head-shaking, and a need to figure out how to make sure every damn person out there gets the love and attention they need, so this stuff never occurs again. Hearts to Manchester. ❤️
End of an era. I know we have to move forward and progress, blah blah blah, but it's growing increasingly difficult constantly saying farewell to the parts of Toronto I heart the most. . . . . #iphone#toronto#the6ix#torontophotographer#honesteds#honestedsfarewell#typography#design#gentrification#goodbye#honest#mirvish#goodbyehonesteds
For a while, I was seriously considering moving. I quickly calculated that it's more worthwhile/life-positive to funnel my extra $6K+ a year on a few good trips a year/fun experiences/saving towards my retirement home in Spain vs moving into another unknown situation of ridiculous Toronto value, especially when I have a really comfortable and stress-free place to live already. After a refreshing chat with @photojennylee and manual labour from @dpwolf, I started changing my space, tacked travel maps to my wall, and almost instantly, my environment feels infinitely more inspiring and best of all, more... ME. Fuck the slick Pinterest adulthood-airy-modernist bullshit: I poster my walls like I'm still 20, and I think this is the sweetest way to bide time until whatever next chapter arises next, however far away it is! ❤️ . . . . #apartmenttherapy#travel#maps#travellife#nomad#home#toronto#the6ix#travellife#exploretheworld
I am a little late on this, but HAPPY TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, you goofballs @bankarsonist @juliap727! ❤️ // I don't often do weddings, but recently, I've agreed on occasion if it's a super cozy, intimate, quirky, or chilled-out affair... and I really love the couple. And I really love this couple!
What a truly lovely day. Congrats, Remon & Jordan (and Olive & Sid): you are remarkable souls and a shining beacon of hope + inspiration in this crazy world of love! 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦❤️ . . . . #wedding#toronto#weddingphotography#dogsoftoronto#dogs#doglovers#torontoweddings#love#familyphotography
My father has never kept many friends due to his stubbornness, temper, inability to forgive, and his fiery self-reliance. And I'll fully admit, the more I hang out with him, the more I see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... though this apple doggedly tries to fight it. In totally going against my nature and reaching out to him weekly, maybe I'm just hoping that I don't end up lonely at 80 because of these flaws, too. . . . . #iphoneonly#aging#family#familyphotography#toronto#chinatown#the6ix#torontophotographer#ttc
