Flash! An Insight on Toronto-Based Photography
Flick! Schick! Click! Chad Kalaska (alias: chadkalaska) sits in the Starbucks at Yonge and King, in Toronto, sipping from his favourite drink, a Caramel Macchiato. He fashioned a bobby pin on his denim jean jacket, wears a vibrant orange hoodie, black cropped pants, and hiked up I LOVE UGLY socks to avoid concealment by his velcro Vans shoes.

This is a good day for photography.
