The je n'est sais quoi of dogs

Photo: Geoffrey James, Trinity Bellwoods Park, 2006

It's wonderful how the off leash area sort of levels the playing field, with all types of people coming together over their common love of dogs. It's how I've been fortunate to get to know photographer Geoffrey James, who revealed recently and somewhat shyly that he has been taking photos of dogs and their owners for some time now. Above is an example of his fine black and white photographs. That shirt reminds me of something... so French.

More dog park art

I meant to post these ages ago. A recent post by my friends Christian and Julie over in Parkdale on their new blog, Ink In Our Veins, about some anonymous public art in their neighbourhood reminded me.

Here's another one, posted here previously. Same artist?
