Custom Orders = Treats, yum!

There are a number of reasons why I love to get custom orders through Arts on Queen (an art boutique in the Beaches area of Toronto). One being that after all these years, it still gives me a charge that someone would like to hang an image in their home that I've created. This order was for "Lane in Afternoon Sun", a black & white infrared image (created the old-fashioned way on film!) captured in Halton region soon after moving to Burlington.

The other reason is that when I deliver these custom prints I get to visit some of my old haunts (for about twelve years I lived five minutes away from Arts on Queen) and today was no exception!

Today on the agenda:

Vienna Meats on Birchmount (German specialties that I remember from my childhood)
Arz Bakery (Lebanese foods, far more than just baked goods. The freshest pistachios and at least a dozen different varieties of baklava)
Zane Patisserie (AMAZING custard danishes!)

I don't feel so guilty, after all - I do need to keep my strength up to capture new images, don't I? :-)
