Visiting China Town

First thank you for all the nice comments yesterday. Several of you made reference to its similarity to Pikes Market. Gosh I hope to visit Washington State again. St Lawrence Market is close but without some of the excitement like the flying fish.

Tonight I am going to take you to China Town. Its a very busy and bustling area in Toronto. Not as large as you would find in California or New York City but still very interesting. I just love the variety of fruits and vegetables. Many I have never seen before or would have no idea how to prepare them. The shoppers certainly don't have any doubt however on what to purchase. They rush in with their little shopping bag on wheels and have it filled to the rim with noodles, fish, spices and fruits that would create a colorful and tasty dinner.

I really felt rushed on my trip to Toronto to get shots. Everything happens so quickly. Certainly the use of a tripod is out of the question as is fidgeting to long with settings. It still takes me a few seconds to long to figure out that perfect formula balancing exposure and my ISO and my shutter speed. Also a reflector would have come in so handy to try to bring some life to the couple of people I shot but anyway I think you can see some of the fun and sites found in Toronto.






Thank you for looking. ~Jackie

These are wonderful! Two of my favorites are the woman with the bicycle, and the b&w of the two women preparing something. Very intriguing shots!
