How could they ... poor little lonely bag ... : (
Posted by Tice at April 18, 2005 01:45 AMLovely pic. I like the luminious windows and the red signs in them, along with the red bag. Very interesting composition!
Posted by Abe at April 18, 2005 02:18 AMI love the contrast of the red bags stilness next to moving car. Wonerdfull pic ty.
Posted by talkingtina at April 18, 2005 04:50 AMMaybe this is just American paranoia, but that's a little freaky...
Cool shot though.
Posted by Alex at April 18, 2005 06:24 AMRumour that you have an exhibit at that Toronto Contact Photo Festival? Hope it's true.

Posted by Hugh at April 18, 2005 07:59 AMduh...if your bag is prone to wander.
Posted by you at April 18, 2005 08:17 AMI think those metal gratings lead to the sewers. During the winter the air coming off the sewers is a few degrees warmer than the outside air so I often see homeless people camped out on top of those gratings. Perhaps this sleeping bag is related...
Posted by madokachan at April 18, 2005 10:38 AMThe thing I like about this picture is the women on the sidewalk are facing forward and walking normally and the two guys are checking out the model in the window pretty intently...gotta love guys!
Love the pictures, I look forward to them everyday! Thanks
I have to say that you have a great blog...your pictures are fascinating as well as interesting:)
Posted by Portia at April 18, 2005 11:26 AMsimple but nice
In the U.S., this would result in the immediate closure of the street and deployment of the bomb squad.
My first thought was that it must belong to a homeless person, though!
Great photo - the stillness of the bag contrasts nicely with the motion of the car and pedestrians - just like a homeless person seems "stalled" as life speeds past. Very evocative.
Posted by Karen at April 18, 2005 12:39 PMI wonder what's in it. Did you take a peek?
Posted by Matt at April 18, 2005 02:44 PMIts a bomb I tell you, a BOMB!!!! AHHHHH!
Posted by Raffi at April 18, 2005 03:34 PMi was wondering the same thing, matt.... Hmm... you should have took a peak inside.

Here, in Spain, a lonely bag at the street si the symbol of the terror since 3/11/2004 . Your photo give a new (and better) vision to this theme.
Sorry, my english is awful. Very good photos. Congratulations!!
Posted by marcos at April 18, 2005 04:00 PMI just wanted to tell you that you do a great job on the pics you take. It has inspired me to start taking more photos with my own camera, but I can't really compare them to yours :-P
Keep up the good work

In the United States, a bag like that would have the bomb squad out and the nations intelligence services declaring a state of emergency. A terrorist plot under ever rock (and red bag)!
Posted by Jim at April 18, 2005 04:15 PMur pic is retarded!
Posted by bobby joe at April 18, 2005 06:47 PMI would like the framing a bit more to the right. You may not need to move. Just turn to the right for like 11.5 degress.
Posted by Boreo at April 18, 2005 06:57 PMi do love this one......
colours are great.
focusing is amazing
thanks
Posted by nicolas at April 18, 2005 07:15 PMSam--This is an interesting moment, but really not worthy of posting on your now extremely popular photoblog. I realize that you are recording (to a certain extent) the city life of Toronto and that it is an extra burden to post something every day, but you have also established for yourself a precedent of some very fine photography--ie, the skyscraper photo from the other day--and sometimes it feels as though your posts are haphazard and even lazy. Be careful!
Posted by Nathan at April 18, 2005 07:59 PMthematics? is that the word? love the balance between the bag and the rest of the world.
Posted by sdf at April 22, 2005 10:25 AMI just found your site, and have been enjoying all your photos. I really feel a story goes with almost every picture. Keep em coming!
