A few weeks ago I took some photos for a Mac10 social event that was held at the Ontario Spring Water Sake Company in the Distillery District in Toronto. This was my first time visiting the Distillery District and it was so beautiful there! Here are some of the photos that I snapped.
The Distillery District is such a lovely place to visit and I found out that I actually like sake! It was a very fun evening and I really love taking photos of pretty places. Also, having a camera glued to my face gives me a level of comfort that I wouldn't have if I was just attending the event normally. I don't know if that makes sense to you but it makes me feel less awkward about talking to people. I am terrible at small talk so being in charge of photos makes it feel less forced somehow. Now I'm rambling! I hope you are all having a great Wednesday!
I totally relate to you with being awkward and sucking with small talk. I would imagine that being there for your job would give some sort of confidence you may not have other wise. - Great photos by the way.

ReplyDeleteMulled wine, a ferris wheel, local crafts, it's perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit.

Great pictures! Two of my cousins got married in the Distillery District and it's just such a lovely spot in the city.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, please tell me everything about your camera and what you use to edit photos, etc. etc. or else I might cry. Your photos are GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the distillery district! It's so beautiful, especially in the evenings in winter when twinkle lights are strewn over every possible surface! It's just too bad that most of the shops close super early, so if you're there for some theatre or dining at night when it's really beautiful, you miss most of the fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove the old car photograph, too!
I hope you stopped into Balzacs when you were there, that location is one of my favourites (er, next to the one here in town, of COURSE)

Thanks for sharing these lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, I'm also TERRIBLE at small talk. Incapable of it. If I know someone for a while I'm fine but I am terrible at meeting people and feel like I always come off rude :(
ReplyDeleteAnyways, the pictures look great! That looks like such a fun place to visit.
That place looks so gorgeous! Definitely adding it to my list of must visits ;) And I totally understand about the camera making you more comfortable. I suck at small talk too :-P

Cool! I've always wanted to check that area out.. still waiting for a future date that I can roam it with my hubs! I hear you on the camera comfort... it's always more fun to 'shoot' people than talk with them! ;o)

I love the Distillery District. There's a great coffee shop there that I used to frequent with one of my nearest and dearest. You'd love it. We should go there someday. Lovely photos!
