Puppet

Posted on May 2, 2019 by The Lazy Photographer

I shot this on Queen St near City Hall late March. If his sign doesn’t encourage people to contribute I don’t know what will. He’s actually an articulate and intelligent gentleman. He doesn’t like using shelters because he’s been robbed … Continue reading →

Change is good

Posted on December 27, 2018 by The Lazy Photographer

I was watching another photographer shoot this homeless guy. The photographer took his shots from quite a distance and also from behind. Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m tired of the staggering number of street photographs of people from behind … Continue reading →

The Piano Man

Posted on September 11, 2018 by The Lazy Photographer

One of the friendliest, most upbeat dudes you’ll meet downtown. He hangs out at Spadina and Dundas in the heart of Chinatown and has a bunch of buddies who keep him company. Before taking this photo I had already walked … Continue reading →

Change please

Posted on September 3, 2018 by The Lazy Photographer

I shot this kitty corner to Dundas Square a couple of weeks back. I don’t often post homeless/street people, but in this case I was drawn to the guy’s hat and the nice light. After an initial edit in Lightroom … Continue reading →

Street portraits

Posted on March 6, 2017 by The Lazy Photographer

I ran into this guy on Yonge Street. What a character. Talked non stop a mile a minute. Derek’s his name. Nice enough guy and he knows how to work it as a model. Just got lucky running into him.

Tattooed Tommy

Posted on September 26, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

Here’s another shot I took back in June on my vacation. The title refers to his pants, not his name. I was near Ryerson snapping photos when I noticed this shirtless dude. He looked like bad business, to be honest, … Continue reading →

Rasta dude outside the liquor store

Posted on July 27, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I’ve actually shot this guy a few times over the years. He hangs out front of the LCBO (our gov run liquor stores) in the beaches. When the liquor store relocated a few blocks west around 18 months back, he … Continue reading →

Street Portraiture

Posted on April 2, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I shot this portrait a few weeks back during an outing downtown. I processed it the day I shot it, but this is a re-processed version using Silver Efex Pro 2. That’s a plug-in for Lightroom that gives you more … Continue reading →
