Quebec City Panoramas

Place d'Armes and The Chaplain Monument

This past weekend, my lovely wife and I took a road trip to Quebec City. One word describes this jewel-of-a-city: “Spellbinding.” This city if one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited and it has easily become a requirement in my family to visit every year from now on. Take a look at this gorgeous corner within the city. Below is an image of the famous Eglise Notre-Dame des Victories. This church was built of stone in 1690!

I’m not sure how many of you are watching the World Cup, but I’m a huge fan of it.  In my opinion, no other sporting event has as much power to unite the world as this one; not even the Olympics.

Tall Ships Festival at Toronto’s Waterfront

Toronto Tall Ship Festival

Summer time in Toronto is sooooooo much fun! With so many activities, it’s hard to get bored in a city as awesome as this one. This week, we had the Tall Ships Festival in Downtown’s Waterfront and my lovely wife and I went to see what it was all about. I must admit, there is something romantic about those ships, but life aboard those vessels was nothing like life on a cruise ship today. As a matter of fact, life was extremely difficult! Nonetheless, my wife and I had an absolutely lovely time and I am happy to share some of those images with you! Continue Reading →

G20 Madness

G20 Riot Police

Toronto was rattled this past weekend when protestors from all over the globe  arrived to voice their opinion against the world economic powers. I have never seen a G20 summit without protests or violence and this year’s summit in Toronto was no different. I couldn’t let the opportunity to experience this event pass by so I made my way to downtown Toronto to take a few shots on Saturday afternoon. Yes, for those of you living in Toronto, Saturday was one of the most violent days of the protest. Fortunately, I was never in the direct path of the violence, but I must confess I have no appreciation for those individual that create or instigate violence, so containing my self at the sight of injustice was difficult.

Mimi has soccer fever!

Burlington Child portraits

Yesterday I went to my God-son’s soccer game. That’s right, Mimi has soccer fever! Children grow up so fast! It feels as if it was only yesterday when Mimi was born and now he’s playing soccer! I’m so glad to be able to see him run around with the ball and even score a goal (which absolutely made his day!).   I also loved the fact that his team just happened to represent Mexico!  Viva Mexico!!
