Project 365 Day 17: No Parking

Being in Europe for the last 7 years, I forgot how popular seat scooters are here in North America. This specific one, about 60 cm wide, not only is gigantic but is clearly parked under the No Parking sign. I like the composition of the lady on the phone and this scooter, a transportation vehicle out of convenience and not necessity, parked illegally at Giant Tiger on Cannon and Hughson Streets.

Project 365 Day 16: Hammer City Records

I had read about Hammer City Records a year or so ago, so I was quite excited to come back to Hamilton and check it out. It’s a fantastic store, run by three people, Bret being one of them. I went in looking for a Joy Division record, but ended up finding a Warsaw bootleg that is fantastic. The experience is fantastic, listening and chit chatting, even with a Pabst to go quench my thirst. This is a must see, just off of James Street North on Robert Street. They even silk screen their own paper shopping bags!

Project 365 Day 14: Waterfall Love

Meet my lovely parents! Taking advantage of the mild couple of days right now in Hamilton, we headed up to Ancaster and did a waterfall hop, with a mandatory stop at Canterbury Hills. Back when I was doing weddings, this was a very popular destination for engagement shoots.

Project 365 Day 13: Mounted Salute

My first day of Project 365 in Hamilton features this mounted police officer saluting me with a friendly hello, sticking out his tongue in a goofy and joking way. Always good to be home, where the people and officers engage with you in a friendly manner.

Project 365 Day 12: In Transit

Transiting through Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on a rainy day, just experienced one of the worst landings ever. What’s worse? Leaving Geneva behind on a gloriously sunny day. And Geneva today..

Project 365 Day 11: Protest the Hero

As I was walking across downtown Geneva today after work, I came across this group protesting against the Swiss-Israeli military collaboration at Tour de l’Île. They were asking those listening to perform certain actions throughout the week to let people know they were protesting.

Project 365 Day 10: Feeling Blue

Driving through Soral, a small countryside town of Geneva, Switzerland, I came across this sad little house, who is certainly feeling blue. Even the hill it sits on is minuscule.
