Posted by sannah at June 14, 2006 02:20 AMtwo photographs in one... so sweet and pretty :)
Posted by Susie at June 14, 2006 04:09 AMHip, the lighting is strange, I wonder at what time of day it was taken.
Posted by Diego E. at June 14, 2006 04:22 AMLove the yellow tones cast on the subject. The reflection also helps make this one a great shot.
Posted by Chris at June 14, 2006 05:46 AMwow... these colors, stunning.
the most impressive photo i've ever seen from you! definitely.
i can't stop looking at it.
speechless
Posted by st at June 14, 2006 08:17 AMI'm always impressed with the vibrance of the colors in your shots. I'd be interested to learn a bit about your workflow.
Posted by Ryan at June 14, 2006 09:09 AMlove it. classic.
Posted by casey at June 14, 2006 10:25 AMSurely makes a colorful abstsraction. I note the peeling paint and crud which puts it on a par with some of the conditions I comment upon in your friend Kamyar's images of Iran and Oxford too.
Crud seems to begin to overtake human constructions as soon as they're finished. Hard to keep a tidy world.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at June 14, 2006 10:33 AMSurely makes a colorful abstraction. I note the peeling paint and crud, something I've commented upon in your fried, Kamyar's photos of Iran especially but Oxford too.
Rot seems to begin as soon as a construction is finished and it's hard to keep it all tidy.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at June 14, 2006 10:36 AMwhat a nice contrast, and warm colors.
Posted by kamira at June 14, 2006 11:11 AMNot sure about this one. I find myself more interested in what inside the building, and that makes the window reflection a touch distracting.
The window art on the top-left keeps catching my eye - maybe a slight crop would help.
I do agree that as always - your colours are amazing!
Posted by behindthelens at June 14, 2006 11:21 AMVery dramatic looking!the colors are amazing.
Posted by Harlequinpan at June 14, 2006 01:39 PMHow do you get such vibrant colours? Aww man I love this photo just for the colours. Please show us the workflow.
But terrific job, awww I love it.
Posted by Oliver at June 14, 2006 02:26 PMI'm not a fan of this one. The colors are too cyan, composition is too busy.
Posted by Shan at June 14, 2006 02:44 PMGREAT shot. Love it, colours, composition, wonderful reflections, everything. A fave.
Posted by A thinker at June 14, 2006 02:54 PMI watch your awesome photoblog for a long time and I decided to make my own. Check it out and add comments at will! www.losfotos.webz.cz
Posted by kubik at June 14, 2006 03:27 PMI don't think there's another restaurant in Toronto that gets more free publicity than this "flee-bag greasy spoon." I guess the name, location and seediness give it "character and appeal." Has anyone eaten there? What does the food taste like?
Posted by martin at June 14, 2006 06:59 PMWonderful colors.
This looks like it was shot either very early in the morning, or very late in the afternoon, early evening.
Posted by Laurie at June 14, 2006 11:13 PMDo you sometimes stare at your photos after you've finished them in complete and utter wonder? I do. This one is so lovely it makes me ache - and as always, I'm so glad you share.
Posted by Dane at June 15, 2006 12:56 AMThe reflection in the sky is amazing. The colours are awesome.
Posted by navin harish at June 16, 2006 02:07 AMThe tones in the reflections and the color of the painted sign are what stand out to me here. Very nice!
Posted by Abe at June 22, 2006 01:26 PMi love the anonymity of the location--even the sticker on the planter is unrecognizable, and yet the restaurant seems distinctive and unique...distinctively anonymous...however much of a paradox that is. the vibrant colors of the immediate scene and clarity of the reflection make the work nearly tangible. i love the contrast of the texture of the glass against the peeling window pane...
Posted by hilary at June 24, 2006 07:59 PMI have always loved this restaurant and have wanted to take pictures of it. Thanks for capturing it.
