Alone on Thanksgiving

Posted on December 7, 2015 by The Lazy Photographer

You wouldn’t describe it as classy or trendy, this little bakery in Leslieville. The plain vanilla walls were artless. The baseboards squat and flat, painted brown. No music filled the air. The look of the place was thoughtless, cold and … Continue reading →

Don’t cry…

Posted on July 6, 2012 by The Lazy Photographer

Boy this dates back to late April in Leslieville — an east Toronto neighbourhood. I remember still wearing a jacket back then. Today the temperature was around 38 C. with a humidex reading in the high 40s. That is bloody … Continue reading →
