That was cool, I hadn't seem many pics of Toronto. He's good at capturing great color. And I dig the idea of an outdoor pillow fight. Good times for sure...

Ok, first of all--I didn't know Toronto was such a beautiful city. The architecture of some of the buildings is breath-taking!

BUT, in addition to that--your friend is a BRILLIANT photographer! Beautiful work...I am really impressed!
