Sitting on top of the world
On my lunch break today, I took a quick trip to the corner of Wellington and Simcoe to explore the new RBC Dexia building (pictured right). My, er, feelings toward the building aside, I had heard the top floors were still unoccupied and easy to explore and I had been looking forward to visiting it for weeks. So, today, I had an excellent view whilst I sat cross-legged and ate my sandwich:
This is the corner of Front and University
There's more under the cut, if'n y'like...

Hello!
I've wanted to have one of my better Diana shots blown up for some time now, but huge. And I didn't want a digital enlargement either -- I could do that -- I wanted light to pass through my negative at varying degrees of intensity and fall on light-sensitive paper, to put it most literally. And I wanted the Tri-X grain to be the size of breakfast cereal. This kind of thing is much harder to find these days than you'd expect, though a chat with my photog uncle has led me to Silvano Imaging, a place that takes great pride in its old-school photo lab. Let's see if they'll follow me down the treacherous rabbit-hole of insanely blurry and chunky photo enlargements without insisting that I'm crazy and don't know what I'm asking for and that the results won't please me and would-I-please-pay-in-advance-kthxbye.
I'm having troubles deciding between the following two photos, though. I can already guess which would look better on a living room wall, but my favourite is the other one, the more striking one. Any input would be great.
My Dundas St East photo is probably in the running, too, but I was leaning towards one of the monochrome shots. Thoughts?
