Week 47: Sunday, November 21st, 2010

This weeks shot was taken at the Montreal Metro. I love the Metro - reminds me a lot of the Tube in London and how awesome a system it is for moving people around. My hometown of Ottawa has had plans to build one for a while (and they did! It goes from South Keys to Bayview! Which helps ... students of Carleton U who live in South Keys?) Hopefully the new Mayor manages to get the project started. While there are many benefits of a good public transport system, I'll let more knowledgeable people than me talk about those (fellow student and friend of the blog Travis has a great post up here, while fellow Epidemiologist Megan makes a great point here). Personally, I just enjoy riding the train :)

Week 46: Sunday, November 14th, 2010

Alright. Last post for the night. Most of you who know me know I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. So November 1st is like Christmas for me, as that is the day when all the Halloween candy goes 60% off, and you can pick up a 50 pack of Smarties for peanuts.

As the t-shirt says: I have candy.

Week 45: Sunday, November 7th, 2010

So this shot was up on Facebook a few weeks ago, but I figured I'd put it up here too. I was working in my office one day, and my iPhone died. But I wanted to listen to music. So I plugged it in, but then I couldn't see what I was listening to. So I fabricated an iPhone/iPod stand out of binder clips and elastic bands to support my iPhone so I can see what I'm listening to while I charge it. For those who want to replicate it, you can use this guide.

Week 44: Sunday, October 31st, 2010

Hi everyone,

So I've been MIA lately (a term apparently I've been using with alarming regularity - thanks SN). So tonight I'm going to try and get myself back up to speed - I've been taking pictures, just haven't had a chance to get them up here.

So the first of three posts. This one was taken from Fort Henry, overlooking the Royal Military College in Kingston, the only Military College in Canada (I believe - army dudes can correct me if I'm wrong on this one). I like the reflection of the RMC in the water here, and really liked the lighting in this shot.

Technical deets: Canon XSi, ISO 1600, 1/10s, 50mm, f/1.8
