Roll No. : 11

When: Good Friday.

Where: Trinity Bellwoods.

What I Remember: Same thing as all the other photos from that day. I just really like this one because it looks like an old-timey photo and that goes great with Michelle's laugh.

Roll No. : 20

When: August 26-29.

Where: Manhattan.

What I Remember: We came across a guy selling his art on the street. I'm not really sure what set him apart from everyone else selling their art on their street, but Sergio bought a painting. The guy seemed to have a story for every single one of his paintings, just like I do for my photos, only I couldn't tell if his stories were real or not. Both he and Sergio seemed to have the gift of gab. I trained my camera on them, waiting until I could get a shot of both Owen and Sergio laughing. I have no idea if Sergio still has his painting or not. Knowing him, probably not.

Roll No. : 8

When: May or June.

Where: A back-alley along Queen.

What I Remember: Haleigh, Brandon, Mark and I hung out one day downtown. I can't remember what we did other than check out graffiti and watch Haleigh grab a brick from the remains of The Kathedral. It was raining and miserable all day, even as I took this shot; it was a bitch taking photos in the rain. The majority of the photos taken that day didn't come out, so I'm glad this one could be salvaged.

Roll No. : 3

When: August; I'm pretty sure this was on my birthday.

Where: My driveway.

What I Remember: Sergio used to come over every night to shoot the shit. Because of what he was wearing that night, I joked that he looked gangster. We brought out my bike, which only made him look even more like some kind of vato. We use his truck's headlights and a floodlight I had as improvised lighting and it became an impromptu photo shoot. His fingers are supposed to spell "blood"; he couldn't form the letters on his own, so I ended up having to bend his fingers for him.

Note: Because Sergio and Mark were the two people I hung out with the most in 2010, I have the most amount of photos of them. Up until now, in order to make the assortment of photos evenly distributed, I ended up deferring from posting photos of either one of them. Consequently, I have a ton of photos of them to post now. So you can expect a lot of those coming up.

Roll No. : 21

When: August 27.

Where: The Empire Hotel, Manhattan.

What I Remember: For all my moaning about how Sergio could be a pain during the trip, I doubt I was all that great of a traveling partner either. That window in the photo was open pretty often, if not for the majority of the trip; I took full advantage of the fact that our room was smoke-permitted (they even supplied us with matches and an ashtray). Owen never once complained, although that only made me feel more guilty. But not guilty enough to stop smoking. So yeah, I'm a dick too.

Roll No. : 19

When: Canada Day.

Where: Mike's backyard.

What I Remember: There's a lot of Canada Day photos; I have like something like 4 rolls of film that contain photos from that day. This was taken towards the end, when we all convened at Mike's for a barbecue. It was already a pretty cool day, but when we got to Mike's it was getting even cooler, so I gave Brittany my jacket. I later found Brittany standing away from everyone; it turns out she just wanted to stand in the sunlight to keep warm, which is when I took this photo. That half-smirk totally makes the photo.

Roll No. : 6

When: I'm gonna say April.

Where: Bellevue Square, or what I call "the sketchy park in Kensington Market".

What I Remember: I hung out with Mike, Mark and Melissa one afternoon. After looking at video games, we decided to visit Eugenie and the Oxford girls. The whole bunch of us ended up walking to the park and just mucked around for a good while. I don't have too many photos of Eugenie in general, so I'm happy that I like the ones I took of her in 2010.
