jack: i can see the snowman must have been telling lies. poor chap, he has only one arm. reminds me of the boxer who got knocked down in the 2nd round and the ref was counting, 1, 2, 3, and the boxer's manager yells to him to stay down...

in response to Cold Off the Press

in response to Dust to Dust

jack: what! no snow? i'd like to listen to some cool jazz from a sax on the docks of manhattan, drinking a beer and mingling with the hippie crowd on 14th street on the docks.

in response to Mr. Sax

jack: nice photo of steeples and the moon in background. the title goes without saying for the photo of graveyard. those people once worked and toiled and let the days fly by and now none of them are complaining about taxes or anything. i often think about how...

Unknown: I am a white female from the suburbs south of Chicago. I am English, Swedish, German, Polish Russian, English, and Scottish. Driving through Humboldt Park .....It's beautiful. There are beautiful homes and parks, but the crime rate.....that is the sad part. I agree with you that yuppies are flooding...

Rebecca Martin: I think Seattle is the best place in the whole world. You can see why here.

in response to Seattle

Elicar: It was not me, Evil! I was there in April 2005. It is quite funny. We have a Learning Centre there and from time to time, we go for courses. (I am supposed to be there starting today, but thanks to some divine intervention, I was spared.) We have a...

jeeff: hey, the last one has the same birthday as me.

in response to Dust to Dust

jeeff: i really like the way the horizontals all kind of echo each other in photo #2.

in response to Hip Yard

jeeff: i agree with everything you say. it frustrates me to no end the way westerners are convinced that japan is "weird". my mom visited me while i lived there and she absolutely loved the convenience, cleanliness, and safety of japan.

in response to Practical Japanese

jeeff: don't write off parkour till you see videos. it's all about movement so photos don't always capture it so well. check out this: video.google.com/videoplay?docid . . . 27048738448&q=david+belle

in response to Cat\'s Brave Battle with the Snow.

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Thanks EvilGentleman! I know to the Canadians, a couple of feet of snow is practically summer, but I was quite surprised when the schneider shovel and I went out there. I'm thrilled at the prospect of having an honorary Canadian status drinker and I promise to keep my beserker levels...

in response to Cat\'s Brave Battle with the Snow.

joey: nice show

in response to Graffiti on the Roll

EvilGentleman: Having survived many a wintry blast in places as diverse as Nunavut, Montreal, Calgary, and Atlantic Canada, I can sympathize with your plight. And while your snowfall may seem incredibly light by Canadian standards, shovelling while hung over is a major accomplishment that I personally have only done once or...

in response to Cat\'s Brave Battle with the Snow.

EvilGentleman: Near Rigaud there is also a place where you can climb and zip along on pulleys between the trees called Arbraska www.arbraska.com. I was there on Sept 25, 2005, and I found it to be an interesting place, and my kids loved it. Charlie Wilson, a member of the armed robbery...

in response to Beautiful Reminders of Yesteryears

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Snowtrees is FAB!

in response to Cold Off the Press

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Prowess? While a lion can mate up to 40 times a day, it's usually for only 30 seconds or so. But, it gets the job done.

in response to Lionesses Lazing in the Shade

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I hope you showed Mr Sax these, 'cos he would do well to get copies for his head shots. They're great.

in response to Mr. Sax

EvilGentleman: You should be. :-)

hool: christine: alley just north of queen , a few blocks west of dovercourt.

in response to Nov 20 2005 Toronto

EvilGentleman: I have to wonder: Who exactly is he trying to impress? My personal bet is that he is trying to reassure himself that he is a badass (maybe a flakey badass cake?). Obviously we are either dealing with an individual who is deperately low on self-esteem, or we are dealing with a...

in response to Nov 20 2005 Toronto

Christine: I love that graffitied brick wall/ Where is it anyway?

in response to Nov 20 2005 Toronto

Christine: But No Frills is growing bigger and bigger. Everyone in my community pretty much shops there and of course, I work there so i would know how many people are strolling in for groceries.

in response to Jan 06 2006 Toronto

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: flakey ass cake, mmmmmm.

in response to Mangey Urban Fox

greaser: ooooo...he's really giving me the eye!

in response to Seagulls and Pigeons Unite

elaine: and, evilgentleman - maybe they prefer rail travel?

in response to Mangey Urban Fox

elaine: i think they moved in when the hedgerows became uninhabitable in the countryside, and the kentucky fried children's aroma called them from their country homes. plus, apart from the bloke i mentioned who had killed a whole lawn full of them, most urbanites think them cute and loveable, whereas most...

in response to Mangey Urban Fox

elaine: seems a shame - development will surely kill it's bleak mojo - but we can't all be lovers of moody empty buildings i suppose...

in response to Hip Yard

DERIK: Eu pratico le parkour todos os dias, tento seguir todas as dicas e fazer todas as manobras. acho um esporte mto legal.

in response to Le Parkour

kc: this is very cool. Why do we not have urban foxes? Do we not have enough hounds?

in response to Mangey Urban Fox

bumbaclaat: No idea! Anyone?

in response to Brooklyn Street Art Initiative

EvilGentleman: Isn't that odd. The only time I recall seing a fox near the city was when I was walking across a train bridge. It was on the tracks at the end of the bridge. Maybe foxes are naturally drawn to train tracks?

in response to Mangey Urban Fox

EvilGentleman: grrr, I posted a bad link to the municipal office above. But jeeff got it right further up the page. Just look up, at the bottom of the maps.

in response to Kangirsujuaq

Joe: Thank you very much i am making t-shirts my self and was despratly wondering how to do screen printing now i can thankyou thankyou thankyou

in response to Cheap Screen Printing Tutorial

EvilGentleman: I almost forgot... the cargo ships are based in Montreal and Quebec City, as well as a cruise ship based in Kuujjuaq. This is also in the north, (see map so kindly provided by jeeff) so you would have to fly there, but Kuujjuaq is a lot cheaper to fly...

in response to Kangirsujuaq

EvilGentleman: adam, there are three ways to get to Kangirsujuaq, but only two of them are realistic. The primary mode of transportation into town is by airline. The only airline that goes there on a scheduled basis is Air Inuit, and I believe a round trip ticket from Montreal costs around...

in response to Kangirsujuaq

adam: is it hard to get there? if people wanted to visit are there hotels/motels? looks amazing.. yet a bit barren/lonely

in response to Kangirsujuaq

Guy McLaren: We have the same problem with stupidity in Africa, seems to be a worldwide issue then.

in response to Kangirsujuaq

Guy McLaren: Why thank you barry

in response to Mountains at Dusk

Guy McLaren: Funding, yeah planning no way. Leave it wild, thats the way we like it.

in response to Informal Housing

Biff: I see a book coming...

in response to Seagulls and Pigeons Unite

elaine: the other thing that i don't like about the pigeon is the way that they have a penchant for looking like they suffer. the damn things live in underground stations, for gods sake! feathers all scruffed up, feet mashed. i don't like it. i don't like it.

in response to Seagulls and Pigeons Unite

elaine: they are a decent size, but they can also hunker right down. you can see them at night zooming alone almost flat to the ground. they tend not to be quite so bold in the daytime, in fact this is the only one i have ever seen in daylight, and...

in response to Mangey Urban Fox

elaine: yeah, i can hear vangelis...

in response to Union Station

elaine: lovely selection

in response to Cold Off the Press

ian: Why do people even try?

in response to Cold Off the Press

ian: Thanks, but I'm not a professional by a long shot :)

in response to Mr. Sax

colavitos ghost: this shit is absolute bullcrap. so lame. read a book. or buy a skateboard.

in response to Run City

colavitos ghost: getting home to brooklyn tonight was an absolute nightmare. one of those experiences so tragically unbearable that you can't help but laugh about it once you're finally into the warm (mmm.....warm....)

in response to Cold Off the Press

adam: these look like some pretty serious professional photographs

Zorba: Love the drifting snow flakes.. taken from a moving car window or while stuck in traffic? .. a little less foreground would help if you crop it... have not driven in TO's rush-hour traffic in 2 decades & don't miss it yet..

in response to Boring Hour, Not Rush Hour

Zorba: message on sign: "trees were inventions of the rich"

in response to Mirror 1

Elicar: It took a lot of hard work, dedication and sacrifice for those Canadian women athletes to get there. Canada has put her medal hopes on this team. Playing their best in every game will keep the players psyched up and focused in winning that gold. The absence of competition should...
