you are a genius. your photgraphs are always taken the way I would want the world to look. the way it can only look with perfect lighting and well-cleaned eye glasses. what is your opinion of minolta digital cameras for beginners? just curious...

This photo has a lot to see, and I love the hue on that building. Many interesting figures in this shot and I also like the throw-up.

Stunning Sam, you continue to suprise me.

I love the composition and the colors. The scene is almost overloaded with all those objects, graffitis and cables on the wall - but it's very interesting.

Brilliant colours, I like the composition too.

I've never seen cables being nailed in front of a window! Seems somewhat crazy to me :)
I've been installing telephone extensions for a while and this mess makes me shiver.

6.5/10

You somehow always seem to get the perfect composition with every photo you take - I'd love a Canon 350 but I'd sooner have your eye for a picture!
Any chance you could post this one as a wallpaper please?

Great photo Sam... There is something about red and yellow that I just love! I have your feed in my slide ;) http://nigel.slide.com/

boring

Theres quite a lot in this picture. Plenty to look at: The phone boxes, grafittie, fire hydrant, cables, shop sign, the wonderful red wall etc. Great shot.

Great scene, I like it very much.
Good work

Amazing shot in an amazing TO area,

i like all these cables on the bricks. But why has the guy (?) in the booth three legs ?

best regards

Wow - Sam, you've done it again. This is almost as bad as yesterday's London image.

Colours are good, yet photoshoped, but the rest of the pic is uninspiring.

Sorry mate, had to say it. I'm going to go back to the archives to look through some of your better work...

this one doesnt catch my eye like your other photos. it's too busy; noisy. the person in the booth and the grafiti are distracting. maybe if it was focused on just one object, like the phone booths, or the grafiti it would be more appealing to me.

The thing I like about your pictures are the stories you tell. Let's see if I'm reading it properly.

This is a story about a girl. Let's call her. Jane. (creative I know) Jane was walking down the street when she noticed a giant beatuiful empty wall. The wall was so perfect in it's simplicity, she felt compelled to destroy something beautiful, oh, incidently Jane's favorite movie is fight club. But I digress. Jane took out her can of paint and decided to make some art on the wall, but since she has no talent, the artwork ended up being graffiti. And no graffiti is not art, it is the poetry of music.
After completion she decided to stand back and take a look at all of her glorious work. She was hoping she'd get a euphoric feeling like the feeling you get when seeing a plastic bag float around on a camcorder. Jane's second favorite movie is the one with the naked chick getting man sprayed in rose petals. Alas, no such feeling came to her. Instead, she felt remorse, for when she looked back at the wall, she realized it was the wall alone that was the art, and not the empty canvas she hoped to work on with her crappy tag.
Feeling bad, she decides to call her mom for ruining the art, who in turn tells her she's a terrible person.

the end.

Coop.

Oh, and the reason she's leaning in the booth is because she slit her wrists, and is getting woozy from blood loss.

You will inspire at least one more person I know today to see a lot more than what meets the eye.

URBAN JUNGLE may be a good title for this superb photo.

I would have to agree with Traci on this one. Nicely composed, but no real point of focus, it just looks too busy.

What I like most about your shots, this one included is that you make every day mundane scenes look beautiful. Looking at this shot I know I should spend more time in downtown Vancouver and capture the life in there. Keep these great shots coming.

Hey sOmEe!

great!

I've recently (re)launched my photoblog BTW, take a look at it: http://ganjineh.com/gallery/?page=daily

I remember you posted some of your 3d-worx too...don't you do that anymore?

I loved that story keith! Imaginative!

Excellent color!

I walked by as you were taking this! Do you do requests? There's a Chinese restaurant at the corner of Dundas and George St. One wall is painted a bright yellow with a great drawing of a happy Chinese chef cooking-up dinner. I'd love to see how you'd capture it.

too busy, too much going on...or is that point? Doesn't work for me

Lots going on but somehow the person in the phone booth gives it a purpose. I like how it's telling a story. Like...who the hell would put wire over a window? How long will it take the next gang to tag over the existing tag? Why does the sidewalk, phonebooth and fire hydrant look so clean? Enough rambling :)

Good ol' Bell, across Canada serving[ripping] it's customers. Care to share a coin?:D

a trifle busy for me ... nothing draws my eye immediately ... and Kensington Market ... where are the market stalls?

stalls in the Kensington Market here ...

Pen
a Canadian in London ... the U.K. one ...

I love looking at this shot. I keep finding new things. Like the boarded up window when two vents in it. The graffito above the phone booth looks like djn @ Chromasia; the fire hydrant being in the centre; haphazord wires running no where but every where. It almost seems like the wires are all starting at the phone boothes; the hole in the wall in the centre of the picture.

Thank you

How nice are the streets like ths.

This urban shot is gritty and rich - I like it a lot! Great colors!

Hey excellent shot, top tag is Grams One.
