Chalkmaster



I met Dave walking down Queen Street West a couple weeks ago. He's an accomplished street artist who has achieved considerable fame on Toronto streets. His website is www.chalkmaster.com.
Tommorow may be my last post for a long time =(... I will be in Berlin for the next three weeks and when I come back it'll be time for school and I prolly won't have my D70 with me for a while.

UPDATE: Sorry I wasn't able to deliver as promised yesterday, my internet was down the whole day and still is. I'm at a friends house now =( Anyways, I guess I'll try to post in Berlin! Thanks for all the well-wishes!

come on, you're going to berlin for three weeks, you're going to be taking about a trillion pictures... you're telling me you will be so absorbed with school you won't be able to trickle a few shots up for your readers?

I've actually found my photoblog to be a very pleasant way to deal with an otherwise totally overwhelming number of photos... I started it three or four months ago to work through the 2200+ shots I took on vacation in Japan. I'm still chugging through them. But it's way more enjoyable to fix up one or two at a time and post them than to try and do all 2k at a sitting.

anyway, have a good time.

have a great time in berlin... (i'll be there for the weekend, too!)...

btw... i know, my comment link is quite a challenge. ;-) sorry for that. but do *you* have a link to your e-mail somewhere on your site? so, thanks very much for your feedback, jenny! i really appreciate it, especially coming from you. your blog is beautiful. i guess photography is a bit more than a hobby, it's more like a passion to me. and while i'm in no ways a pro, some of my shots have been published already. still, there's so much more to learn. and my good shot - bad shot ratio isn't really great, too. if i take 100 shots, only a handful turn out like i visualized them.

dave: i bought my D70 in June for the purpose of bringing it to Berlin, so i definately will. thanks for your advance welcome back!

monkey: i guess you're right...I don't think I could just go into hiatus. definately expect some photos.

Patrick: that is prolly the highest form of praise I've ever received from ne living thing lol. thanks. and i truly don't think you've got a problem since that handful turn out the way they do for you.

My name is Simon, my fiancee and I met Dave on the streets of Toronto aswell, he was going to see his daughter, drawing and saving up to get her a gift. We walked by the first time, in awe of his work, we had most of the day to kill, since it was just a wandering day. When we came out of a shop we walked by him again, stopped to read his wishlist. Well Dave, I'll keep my offer for being your personal Ninja open, but I'm glad I could at least give you a bite to eat. Take care of yourself.
