Great work. Not keen on the Coffee or the tube coming into the station. It's my eyes sorry.  ;D

I'm wondering if you ever try a holga?   http://microsites.lomography.com/holga/

Not yet, I am gonna get one though just for the fun of it, might give Elliot one too.  In the meantime I have a "Holga" filter to work with in photoshop.  :rofl2:

Cool. They are a lot of fun. ;)

Just sold a print of the Toronto Skyline, plus it's popping up everywhere now!

Thanks all, very much appreciated!  :)

This image is already available as a print or canvas on this site:

http://www.redbubble.com/people/robsmithphoto/art/3939809-3-toronto-skyline



But I've had a couple of requests for a larger triptych.  Would anyone else be interested in buying this panorama in 3 x 18" wide canvases?  I have no idea of the cost yet, I'm assuming $200+ so it won't be cheap, but ~5ft of art rarely is.  But a group buy would get some sort of discount. PM me if you are interested as I'll be going to the printers in a few days.

LOL @ silver!  :rofl2:

I have copyrighted the triptych idea, by the way.  Where's my cut?  ;D

Wow. Fantastic shot.

Thinking hard about the huge canvas. Are you going to be autographing them? :)
