2009 September 12. On the way to the theatre, i took a photo of the building at the corner of McCaul & Queen, which this time is dressed for Whiteout, which was a great graphic novel, but made into a poor movie (according to the reviews). When i'd walked by the day before (without a camera), there was a lot more snow - it's appearance now is appropriate for how the movie will do.

2009 September 12. There are sights outside the Japan Foundation too!

2009 September 13. This is a shot of Richmond approaching Parliament Street. Before each movie at TIFF, there have been archival clips featuring Toronto (VE Day in the streets, Yorkville hippies), and there was a clip of classic 1970 movie Goin' Down The Road, and in the clip they are taking this very recognizable route.

2009 September 13. After the movie, i have less than 90 minutes for lunch, and i go to East. As usual, when i have a camera, i photograph my food, ha ha. How many pics do i have of these chicken-veggie dumplings? And springrollini.

2009 September 13. This was a brunch menu item, pork chop, with salad, egg and rice.

2009 September 13. And dessert, coconut crepes (this was a cheap prix fixe dinner, for 11$).

2009 September 13. I had to walk over to the AMC for the next movie. This is Yonge-Dundas Square, from across Yonge and a bit south.

2009 September 13. Sounded like there was a band playing but i couldn't see a thing.

2009 September 13. Signing things for change - Batman, what happened to you?

2009 September 13. AMC is a bit annoying for TIFF - you have to line up in this hot room to wait for them to let you into the lobby even (at the Scotiabank, you can go to the lobby, buy food, go to the washroom, whatever). Looking down on Dundas east of Yonge.

2009 September 13. Looking down on Yonge south of Dundas.

There was only a half-hour between the end of the third movie and beginning of the last one, and i had to get from AMC back to Scotiabank, with time for the washroom, getting a drink and a seat. I considered transit, but didn't think waiting for a train or streetcar would be any faster. I considered a taxi, but i started walking, looking to call one, and got a fair distance before i saw one, by which time it was pointless anyway.

It was past 11 when i got out of the theatre, and midnight before i got home! Ugh! Class at 8 am, lol.

2009 September 18 - On Friday i had lunch at the Queen Mother, yet again. Mmm... the lamb chops were good.

2009 September 18 - I like the name of this store (across from the Queen Mother).

2009 September 18 - Near Bay & Queen, walking from lunch to the second movie.

2009 September 18 - Near Bay & Queen.

2009 September 18 - At Yonge & Dundas.

2009 September 18 - After the movies, i took my own photo at Yonge-Dundas Square, using mainly all the bright lights of the Square.

2009 September 18 - Bay and King (i think, ha ha).

2009 September 18

2009 September 18 - My reflection on Bay near Front.

2009 September 19 - I didn't take many photos on Saturday. This is between the first and second movies, on Yonge near Wellesley. I SOLEMNLY PROMISE TO NEVER BARE MY MIDRIFF.

2009 September 19 - Yonge just north of Gerrard. I was trying to shoot the truck going by, except it stopped there, right where i was standing.

2009 September 19 - Oh, the Zanzibar... What's that?

2009 September 19 - Back to school special? Is that a discount for teachers, or students, or....
