Third wheel

Posted on November 5, 2018 by The Lazy Photographer

I snapped this during my last Pedestrian Sunday outing at Kensington Market. It was a shot from my day of talking to strangers I’d normally not bother with. My experience is when you come across a group of street people … Continue reading →

No way to spend Christmas Day

Posted on December 27, 2015 by The Lazy Photographer

Here’s another shot from the 25th. I’m always surprised at the number of homeless/street people I see downtown on Christmas day every year. Some are the same people I’ve seen for years now. This year, with Canada falling all over … Continue reading →

The street

Posted on November 5, 2015 by The Lazy Photographer

When I first walked by this guy I’d actually decided not to photograph him. I’m not sure why, really, as I am oft to shoot homeless and street people, when I see something interesting. But I glanced back and was … Continue reading →

In the shadows

Posted on August 18, 2015 by The Lazy Photographer

Toronto’s a great city. It really is. Very multicultural. Lot’s to see and do. All the first world amenities. However, as a society we still haven’t figured out how to adequately provide for the less fortunate. I phrased it like … Continue reading →

Lost in thought

Posted on August 15, 2015 by The Lazy Photographer

Based on what he’s wearing you’d think it was a winter shot, but I snapped this just a week back in Toronto’s renowned Yorkville. I’ve seen this guy around for years now, usually in the same park. I think he … Continue reading →

Bay Windows

Posted on August 4, 2015 by The Lazy Photographer

Life’s struggles

Posted on May 6, 2015 by The Lazy Photographer

This lady is a fixture in the downtown core. I’ve seen her for years. I photographed her first about four years back. She is mentally very ill. She cries out a lot and waves off demons no one else sees. … Continue reading →
