Every time I got to the halal market to buy lamb, I am sooo tempted to try goat. Guess my next visit will be for goat. Immigrants are driving demand for goat meat in Canada to new heights, but the supply can’t keep up /via The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

I so miss taking my parents for dim sum, and while there may be better places for it, Sky Dragon will always be my go to, when I take friends. There may never be the right words with my parents, but there will always be dim sum /via The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/life/first-per…

Up 3-0, the Leafs were looking way past the Sens = mistake. They may still win this series but this does not bode well for the next round. After Game 5 loss, the Maple Leafs can’t help but think about the worst-case scenario /via The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/sports/article…

If I were more motivated, I'd learn Portuguese as the Fado I'm hearing on Café Latino on Jazz.fm is pretty moving (for someone who has no idea what the lyrics are obvs). Amália Rodrigues - Fado Português youtu.be/ARS7Zi-Zpkw?si… via YouTube

Well that kinda bites. Got darkroom set up to print 20x24 gelatin silver and wouldn't you know it, I grabbed the wrong neg pages 😂. Now I hafta boogie back to work (where I keep some negatives), THEN head back to Gallery 44. Guess that's an hour I won't be getting back lol.

Their downfall, imo, was trying to compete with big box outdoors retailers. They need to go back to their raison d'être. Mountain Equipment Co. to be acquired by Canadian textile exec Tim Gu after months-long search for buyer /via The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

I get that some wanna beat traffic but if my team was likely going to lose the game and series, I'd stay till the final whistle. Maybe those empty seats meant some fans are not die hards. Has to be hard for the team to see people heading for the doors.

'Windshield wipers slappin' time...' by Kris Kristofferson is a great line from Me and Bobby McGee. 'Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night' from Eric Church's song 'Springsteen' hits similar feels. Just a random thought on a rainy Thursday night.

for those looking to apply for the Globe and Mail's photo apprenticeship, a couple of things. Captions are a non negotiable. All photos MUST have embedded captions, and these have to be more than just 'John or Jane Doe at xyz'. Context matters and contexts informs readers.

Everyone has seen his marked up prints of James Dean, so it's cool to hear Pablo talk about his process, and gelatin silver printers will understand why he/we do what we do under the safelight. Just wish it was in the actual Magnum darkroom. youtube.com/watch?v=aCJgGb…

Well I had hoped to sell the Ries A100 tripod and the Leitz Focomat v35 enlarger, but I'm not so starry eyed that I was shocked when no buyers made beelines with cash in hand lol. Maybe next show, or I sell it online. Also had hoped the Zone VI 4x5 woulda sold too but 🤷🏻‍♂️

When you're probably the last one in the office and the lights go off cuz they didn't sense you. Kinda weird working in darkness tbh. For a story by ⁦⁦Willow Fiddler⁩ on Sandy Lake wildfire evacuees staying in Mississauga.

Had the camera running on intervalometer and the bugs were ferocious as I watched the fireflies dart about. The back 40 was just a sea of blinking and wayward lights in the summer night. Love the night skies but nothing beats the little Lampyridae.

Thirty seconds of fireflies. Gonna have to photograph this with film and a very long exposure cuz it would look insane. Ontario summers to me are blueberries, and fireflies, both to be appreciated cuz they don't last long (well fireflies anyways, but you get the sentiment).

Pro tip - DO NOT wander into the bush at Hardy Lake Provincial Park with your large format camera unless ya be wanting to provide an easy meal for the bugs. If you do, dump all the bug juice you have over every sq inch of exposed skin. Trust me. or wait til the fall 😂

yup. for those of us of a certain vintage, many fond memories of the Chinese restaurants in old Chinatown. Opinion: A wok to remember: Saving our parents’ legendary restaurant in Toronto’s Chinatown is about more than just food /via The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
