Another 15 minutes of fame. After reading your "about" link I see that you have had plenty of them. With captures like this you deserve them all and more.

Please, could You briefly describe your photo retouching process? I mean Your photos, virtually every single one taken on the street, have such great colours and contrast! I'd really appreciate it.

Greetings from Poland,

Alex

I really like this one!
i ride my bike to and from work (5 miles each) myself and we had a few days of similar wheather around new year.

Great shot! Great story!

Cool shot! Totally urban.

Think how excited he was to find he could possibly be an international ddoi celebrity! Even if ddoi only goes out to CN and the USA it would be international, but it would be interesting to hear how many countries you reach.

Great photos, Sam! I love the way you capture Toronto through your lens.
And biker guy, if you're reading, I just wanted to say I like your colorful bike :)

Cool picture - nice story.
I hope to meet You also some times in Toronto !

Greetings from Switzerland Pietro

what is ddoi ?

What a great pic.. Such beautiful composition and caught in the right moment. Carla

Have you had people get angry at you before, for taking their picture?

I just have to say, I love ddoi. I check it every day, and it's photos like this one, they just "capture" that feeling of Toronto. I live in Los Angeles now, but grew up in Toronto, and this photo totally gives me warm fuzzy feeling of being at home.

Cool shot (pin sharp!) and a lovely story to go with it

It's almost as though he's riding one of Greg Curnoe's bikes - And I love the face coverings.
Three street cars, too! Who says winter is colourless?!! Another great one, Sam!

Great photo. Not just ones on this post, all of them on your whole site. They provoke my emotions. Thanks for them...

ddoi is short for "daily dose of imagery"

To the cyclist (if he reads this): What jacket is that? I'm a cyclist too and I'd like a jacket with a lock band.

To everyone else:
I'm a American photographer who's favorite city is Toronto, so this blog is double good for me.

Your a star already Sam :)

I totally signed up for the ddoi email.. and i usually check my email daily. Really great shots indeed. Love this one.

-to biker boy, sweet outfit you got going on there.
<Love the blue wheel.

Hi Sam
It's great to see our neighbourhood through your lens. Outstanding job!

if ddoi means "daily dose of imagery" visitor that thats amazing! what are the chances that someone will catch you in action :P

i have your site set to my homepage
very well shot photos!

oh how lucky of him to be featured in your blog as a follower!!
i hope to bump into you in the streets of Toronto one day as well! I've been following this photo blog for a long while and i love the way you capture Toronto

Awesome picture! I saw Sam from afar once at a Toronto photo contest where he was a judge. Too bad I was too shy to go and say hi, but it did feel like watching a celeb from far =)

I really like this photo. It needs to be printed and up on a wall.

:) nice shot!

How does the bike guy know you? I come here everyday viewing amazing photos like the biker guy but wouldn't recognize you on the street. Do you have personal pics or something?

Toronot is very proud of you Sam. Love your work from a fellow Torontonian.

I love how clear his eyes are. He does look like he's about to pound you. Good thing he didn't. :)

Great shot Sam.

That's an angry look, I would have run! Great city shot, I love it. You canadians really are big guys, riding under and on the snow...

nice.
