Thanks! What do you mean by grit exactly? I purposely exclude the homeless and graffiti from my pictures. I am not denying their existence in Calgary but I feel it is exploitation of the homeless to take pictures of them just because they are so visible, and most graffiti is tagging not street art.

Here is a picture from the industrial area by the tracks in Inglewood. It looks like the truck got flattened.

You have probably wondered what came before Chocolate, and that was Orange.
Orange was built in the east village in the shadow of the backside of city hall.
Unfortunately, the east village has remained an urban wasteland.

I think this little building was used as a show suite for Orange. The condos to the right are the only other attempt to develop in the east village.

Hahaha that's one of the funniest things that I've ever seen on here. That is truly going down in the SSP history books. Other cities show off their "grit" with dirty industrial scenes and homeless people, but Calgary has blow up sex dolls in farm fields. Classic. You really get around in this city. :)

Thanks for the pics of Bay Adelaide.

Funny how a former prision is now called Liberty Villiage?

[Rico Rommheim]

^Just like Guantanamo Bay will probably be named Freedomville after it is decommissioned.

I'll get through this thread eventually, but since I finally have new pictures of my small "cities", I figured I'd post them. I posted them in the Atlantic forum, but wanted to represent them here too.

The crane you see is the Westin Hotel project. Although only 20 floors in height its fillin an ugly whole between the congress hall and old montreal, its also renovating the old 50's Gazette building and adding 5 floors on top of it.

believe it or not this is the first Westin hotel in Montréal!!!
I'm not sure of that !! Wasn't the Bonaventure a Westin before being Hilton ?

I wish I had a better digital camera that didn't cost me a fortune. I'm never happy with how these shots turn out. Any suggestions?

Buy a better digital camera?

Your http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/5848/zyfrontmdc4f6be4arz7.jpgis weak

You could get a decent DSLR for under 1000 now a days.

You could get a much better point/shoot with more features 500-700

[CCF]

Thanks wiseguy! That's what I meant...any suggestions as to what sort of camera would be a good pick up?

I don't even want to know how you figured out which camera I have.....creepy.

[theman23]

All you have to do is right-click on image properties to figure out what camera was used and what software was used to modify it.

[1ajs]

its called exif data hold information on the exposure ect

for about 700$ give or take cause of taxs you could pic this 2 lens kit olympus dslr up at future shop...

Hey look at us we can look like NY too!

[Cambridgite]

Hey look at us we can look like NY too!

:haha: :tup:

Nevertheless, if there's a city to emulate, it's NY. A lot of big Asian cities are hardcore commercialized like that too.

[caltrane74]

Hey look at us we can look like NY too!

I think Dundas Square looks more like Shinjuku/Shinuba in Tokyo than New York.

Because NYC is the only city in the world with big advertisements. Very astute observation!

[Rico Rommheim]

^Oh come on there is a deliberate attempt at creating an advertising square a la Times square or like caltrane pointed out Shinjuku/Shinuba. For me it just looks so contrived and artificial! I think there was a proposal for a similar bastardization of urbanism in downtown M and it was swiftly destroyed. Good.

[401_King]

^Oh come on there is a deliberate attempt at creating an advertising square a la Times square

times square isnt a real square. but anways, to you, a total outsider, this looks like an "attempt" to look like something else. but dundas square has its own vibe. you wouldnt know, you probably havent been there in the past year...

[Rico Rommheim]

No I haven't but you know what I've learned buddy? Sometime it takes an outsider's perspective to get a real unbiased opinion.

[401_King]

No I haven't but you know what I've learned buddy? Sometime it takes an outsider's perspective to get a real unbiased opinion.

outsider's perspective on what? pictures? how about you go there in person, then you might have "a real unbiased opinion".

anyways, i've been to times square many times, shinjuku and shibuya. dundas square has its own T.O feel. you can't get that from pictures, buddy

[theman23]

This stretch of Yonge street has been heavily commercialized since before anyone here was born. So yes, it is a deliberate attempt to create an advertising square but not "a la Times square", rather "a la Yonge street". Its simply a natural evolution of what has been here for decades. The only thing new is that they built a square, which is actually something Time Square lacks.

No I haven't but you know what I've learned buddy? Sometime it takes an outsider's perspective to get a real unbiased opinion.

When the outsider is absolutely clueless about the history and context of the area but still choses to make a comment on it, who cares about his opinion?

[Rico Rommheim]

such anger, such a detrimental attitude over nothing! 401 said it and I accepted it. You on the other hand just made yourself pass off as a fucking child.

[theman23]

Huh?

[1ajs]

anger? i don't see any anger i see someone trying to explain the demographics of the area

[theman23]

Yeah, I wasn't trying to be pissy.
