My Sherrie Bear

Sherrie and I were on our way to the “Hard Rock Cafe” for a sweet lunch and some sexy guitar pins shopping before taking shots of a few murals nearby the restaurant.

At University and Queen we were kicked out of our taxi because of the SANTA CLAUS PARADE!

TOBox1 #2

Fortunately, there was a painted Hydro Box at the corner.

As I shot, I noticed the Clowns were tossing Teddy Bears into the crowd.

“Get me a bear! I shouted to Sherrie who promptly ran into the frenzied mob…

…and emerged with my Sherrie Bear!

How sweet it is!

I Knew I Wasn’t Drunk!

MURAL OF THE YEAR 2003

 I felt dizzy ….  woozy and I knew I wasn’t drunk.

I suddenly realized it was the horizon. I used my zoom, and reeled the area in. It was a building painted on a building, The St. Regis Hotel – 1911. The sky line was insane.

There was construction pounding at the base of the building and a jammed half-block long parking lot. So I went back on a Sunday.
