Well, in case you didn't know (some people stalk people and some don't. No worries if you feel pointed out, I stalk people also thanks to social media..... eh ) I'm in Toronto for the weekend to visit my family! And it feels great!
I love Toronto so much, we started off by visiting the boat show and let me tell you I'm destined in buying a 2.5million dollar yaght.. Okay well once I become a famous photographer that is, I will call Rick Ross to come aboard and rap and have some babes just chill there while I'm there sipping Crystal Champagne with cheese and a baguette(even if I don't eat bread).. Alright I'm totally dreaming but oh well..
NO BUT SERIOUSLY HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE?! Hahahaha, yeah the boat show was pretty gnarly not to mention I actually got the chance to meet some sick wakeboarding dudes and wakeboarded on the largest indoor fake lake! Yeah now that's definitely YOLO hahahahahaha!
Dude I hate when people say that but oh well I mock it anyways and use it...
That's cause I'm cool but there's no use in saying this because you guys all know!
Again, I'm in a total jokingly kind of mood right now, but hey who cares right?!
Anyways after the boat show I ended up playing with my new restaurant app on my Iphone and found a super cool Korean grill dinner place and it was AMAZING!
I swear to god this restaurant is worth hitting up, amazing food!
But then after I walked around and it was amazing being back to my city walking around taking night shots of the city, watching people hurry around living their lives and just watching the city life.
I think that's one of the things photographers do, just be in the middle of an amazing place and just watch life go buy as you try and capture what inspires you and tells you more about life.
I haven't been feeling too well back home and just being away to a place I know like the back of my hand and being with people I love and know so well just makes it feel so much better and in other words breathable.
I mean sure I know so many people in Montreal, and I like the city and my friends, but no one knows how it feels to be alone without family around you.
As soon as I lay my feet in Toronto I get calls from family who want to see me and I know I feel really loved in the way I want it. Even just walking in the street talking to random people I feel homy!
Speaking of which, While I was walking in the streets I met Jim. Jim was a homeless man who had a charming smile and seemed super nice. What I realized was while we were talking to him he had a shine going on. I find too many people don't realize how many homeless unlucky people we have and don't treat them like real human beings.
These people are people, just like us and they are going through a ruff patch.
I feel sorry for them, but in the end sometimes I would like to be like them, like Jim... Because they are so much stronger than anyone else, they have so much more power and positive thoughts and that's all what really matters.
When I see homeless people like Jim, I think of how some people have the hardest lives but manage to pull through.
I mean like.... People get so sad or mad sometimes when they really shouldn't... I mean like... Think of the homeless that have nothing.. LITERALLY NOTHING. They manage to smile and live. So why do we get sad over stupid things or get mad over the littlest things? We shouldn't, we should be grateful and be happy for what we have because some people (like Jim) would much better go through a hard breakup then live on the street and worry about what you're going to eat for the next week, or shelter etc.
I think people are starting to get to materialized.. And yes I am also materialize, for example I would be dead without my camera etc. it's who I am, but ....... I shouldn't.
It's just like the Buddhist. They learn to not get attached to anything because love is the key of happiness, no one should be materialized.
Thinking back I wish sometimes I would of been brought up like that to understand more yet c'est la vie!
So I'm not trying to make a point (ok maybe a slight point) but I'm just saying how I feel and how I think not many people realize how many are living happy in total nothingness.
So here are some city shots I took,
Enjoy,
