What to Do?



This drawing depicts an incident I ran into the other day. We have all seen poppies on the floor because of their inability to properly be secured to our clothes. I'm sure we all have thought of picking them up and wearing them at one point. For me at least, the thought is intriguing, but feels wrong to take advantage of someone else's charitable donation. This drawing captures a young man trying to attain the poppy while realizing it may not the best thing to do.

We All Have Different Priorities

This incident captures the reaction of a woman walking to work as she passes a MasterCard promotion taking place in Maple Leaf Square. MasterCard placed a vault in the square for a week telling people to return on Nov 7th at noon to partake in a chance to open the vault and win the prize. Some people had camped overnight and there was a long lineup hours beforehand. As this busy woman was walking to work, she took one look at these people and began to laugh and shake her head. Her reaction was entertaining, but it was the comparison of two types of people having two very different priorities in their weekday that sparked my interest.

Walking Together Like They Just Met

I am also a fan of discovering couples walking in the streets of Toronto that really stand out. Couples that also really help define the feel of a certain neighborhood. As I was walking by the FlatIron building the other day I encountered an older couple walking hand in hand very much in love. The way they were swinging their arms and looking at each other was quite refreshing. It reminded me very much of that area. It is an older part of Toronto, but whenever I go by it my love and appreciation for the city always feels renewed.
