People often ask me what kind of photos I enjoy taking. Well TBH, doing something professionally tends to take the fun out of it. When I pick up a DSLR camera, it instantly feels like work. So I mainly take my personal photos on a fairly cheap cellphone. In 40 years of full-time photography, one gets pretty good at spotting a potential photo where most people wouldn't notice anything interesting. This was taken on Thursday morning while waiting outside a cafe on Courtenay Place for my coffee to be ready.
