I often meet interesting people while on my photo walks.
Dr. Kashyap, seen below, was definitely one of the most interesting people I have met.
I hope to write more about him later, but I loved how he passionately called his career "a matter of fate and destiny". I felt the same way about my chance meeting with him!

Sometimes you encounter a photographer so full of energy, you're left amazed!
That's what happened when, while leading a photo workshop, I encountered James in Kensington Market. Wow, what a personality!
James in the Market - Kodak T-Max 400
James definitely knows how to talk people up and to get them to pose for his two cameras. If you see James, say hi from me! :)
I'll end with something patriotic, seeing as our country is being denigrated by our southern neighbour.
