Someone recently asked me, "So why do you do it?" The answer is quite simple: I do it because I love creating extraordinary photos. I love seeing the smile they bring to my street style subjects. I love telling people's inspiring stories, and more importantly, I love sharing my vision of Toronto with everyone.
People always ask, "How often do people turn you down?" And I'm happy to say not often. About 8 out of every 10 people I approach agree to appear on my blog, which is a great indication of our city's confidence and pride.
Not long ago, a friend inquired, "How long will you continue doing it?" I really don't know. I'm actually surprised I made it to five years. I suspect that when my love for it is gone, that's when I'll hang up my camera, but I don't anticipate that happening anytime soon.

I want to give a big thanks to everyone who's appeared on my blog and to all my new and loyal followers!It's been a great five years!

Congratulations on five years of blogging! I passed my five year mark last Spring, and people don't realize how many hours go into shooting, editing (and in my case, writing). It's a labour of love for sure.
ReplyDeleteYour passion for a capture, a candid moment and even those posed is evident in every shot Nigel. It's a pleasure to drop in from time to time. Never a disappointing moment in a photo or profile! Bravo!
