Impressionist City

I've been meaning to bring a camera with me to class one day and get some shots from my commute, particularly the Toronto bits. I decided to finally take some pictures yesterday, but it was on my way home from my cancelled class and I hadn't planned ahead by bringing my camera. The combination of the crap-tastic camera in my phone, the setting sun and the overcast sky created a neat effect in some of the pictures that reminds me of impressionist painting. None of them really turned out, the little camera has no focus, no optical zoom and is only like one and a half mega-pixels, so really what could I expect? Also, I took most of the pictures as I was walking, so some of them may be indistinguishable. Note- This isn't my typical route, I took a significantly longer walking route so that there would actuallybe things to photograph.

Keep on Tranglin,
Anthony

this may sound dumb, but I like the first one. It's proabably all those years of studying seemingly pointless art; it makes me apreciate anything in the attept to look arty. i also like the second last, third last and fourth last.

sidenote: do you have your camera with you today? cuz im skipping my afternoon class wednesday, we can go on a picture spree.

Now I understand why all the US film companies want to make movies in Toronto. Aside from the friendly packages.

Sidenote: I bask in the glow that is Übie and Nick's bickering. It makes me feel fuzzy.

Pretty. Shiny. I like shiny things.

Sidenote: Nick picks his nose and eats what he finds.

Nads (ha!)- My fav is the second one, it's also the most out of focus. Hows about that for arty?

sidenote: My class is over and I'm going to phone you in about 5 minutes when I'm done with email and blogs. Get ready.

The monkster- Toronto is an attractive city, but I think the actual reason the US companies want to make films in Toronto are the huge government subsidies and low production costs vis a vis the major American cities Toronto often represents in film.

Ubes- Shiny things are my purpose.

Sidenote: That's only cause you don't feed him. He's a growing boy.

Yes.... I tried to say that.... what you said, but my brain was stolen by aliens and "subsidies" is above my vocabulary level at the moment. All I could think of was "friendly packages", which is a little... cryptic.

Fucking Bingo said...

is it cryptic or is it sexy?

Calzone said...

I like the fuzzy ones and shit like that

You should change the name of this blog to Sidenote.

Great pictures man. You may not like the pictures your phonamera takes, but I'll tell you this: They are substantially better than the ones mine takes. But then your has iTunes on it which has makes everything better.

Sounds, excellent sidenote as per usual.

Ubie, you are getting better. At sucking.

Ooh, burn.

Fella said...

Jesus christ, with grammar like that you'd think I was Monkey or something.

Fella said...

This sentence: "But then your has iTunes on it which has makes everything better." is an absolute work of art. I may never forgive myself for that.

It literally makes me nauseous.

Fella said...

Yay! I'm good at something! In your face Mom and Dad!

Fucking Bingo said...

yes! no more good deeds! i can poke anthony in the ribs again!

Ubermilf said...

That's not where Nick pokes him.

Anonymous said...

Nick's been poking me? Does he have some sort of super-long Kansas to Ontario poking stick, or did he hire someone to poke me?

Ubermilf said...

I don't know what Nick's poking stick looks like. I prefer it that way.

Fella said...

Your face is indistinguishable from your butt.

Anonymous said...

your butt is your face.

Scarlet Hip said...

Fucking Bingo said...

diadima said...

Fella said...

I'll make it easy for you ladies. Anthony is the butt face.

Fucking Bingo said...
