The Toronto Raptors fell to the New York Knicks last night. But a member of the Scarborough Blues used a little body english to sink a basket during warm-ups!

Last night the Toronto Raptors roared back from a 20+ point deficit against the OKC Thunder, only to fall in the final minutes.

When news happens like a business closing I look through my archive to see (& hopefully share) photos from that business.
With the closing of Steve’s Music Store, this is one of the images I found.

β€œJournalism is a public service, and I am proud to be a public servant. Professional reporting, observing and documenting is not a crime. But the freedom to do so is at risk.

The light is extremely predictable, one exposure and one colour temperature for the whole game.
Though depending on which floor is being used by the Raptors we might tweak the exposure and colour balance somewhat
