Where in the World- Friday, Jan. 30.

without comments

Ok blog, I have not been paying enough attention to you, I am sorry. I know you don’t want to hear excuses, but work life/personal life has been very busy over the last week. I even forgot to do my Where in the World for you last Thursday.

To apologize, I will give you this post, a special Where in the World from last Friday.

While I was shooting the Obama Café in Toronto, (a café inspired by Obama, similar to the thousands of entrepreneurs using Obama and change as their marketing plan,) this man approached me to ask if I worked for the government or any type of law agency.

After assuring him that I did not, he offered to pose for a photo with his arms wide and a toothless smile. When I raised my camera he quickly changed his mind and took up this position and then turned and ran.

Before he went through the doors of a nearby saloon, he gave me one more quizzical look and repeated his questioning.

Very funny situation for me.

Also included is another photograph of the Cafe.
