TIFF: 2010/09/13, Bloor Street

My new toy has arrived. The Voigtlander Bessa R3A with Nokton 40mm 1.4. It's a beauty. I took it out for a spin on Bloor Street and ran into the circus that is the Toronto International Film Festival.

Outside Indigo Bookstore on Bloor.

Outside the Intercontinental on Bloor. A circus of people crowding around the hotel entrance hoping to get a glance of some douche(ss).

Outside the Intercontinental on Bloor. Some normal people who are not amused with the circus.

Outside the Intercontinental on Bloor. The ride of the douche(ss).

The type of people who would scream and yell and cry when they see the douche(ss) exiting the hotel. And then there are the all-important bodyguards and security of the douche(ss) in the background.

Opposite the Intercontinental on Bloor. The circus watching the circus. I guess I was the circus watching the circus that's watching the circus...

I didn't hang around to see who the douche(ss) was and walked. Then I saw this other dude who was being interviewed on his walk. Anyone else know who he is? Not that I care though.

Then I saw another circus at the Windsor Hotel in a side street. I overheard some guy on his phone, saying that Rosamond Pike was staying in the hotel. Rosamond is one of the few actresses whom I semi-respect, but not enough for me to hang around long enough to get a photo of her.

The more laid back wolves of the pack: they wait from across a distance, ready to pounce and scavenge when their preys emerge from their hiding place.
