It’s time for Toronto’s annual CONTACT Photography Festival, and our first attempt at a gallery opening was a bust! Somehow all of us got the date wrong and we showed up at the Barbershop Art Gallery a day late. Ah well, the festival takes place all month, which makes our chances of actual attendance pretty good… if we pay attention to such things as dates.

Anyway, it was still a good night with friends once Plan B kicked in, which was the back patio at Mitzi’s Sister. I shot these with the 50mm f/1.8 prime and the onboard flash (didn’t have my SB-800 with me) so they’re a little too “flashy” (as in direct light = hotspots) for my taste, but still better than my point-and-shoot:

The seven of us parted ways after Mitzi’s Sister and Marigrace and I continued on our merry way, stopping for photos enroute to my neighbourhood, where I picked up my car to drive her home.

I live in a pretty interesting neighbourhood for window-gazing:

Ahhhhhh home… bed… zzzzzzzz…
