Bob woke up this morning, poured his coffee, and did what every photographer secretly does first thing—checked his Flickr stats. And there it was, shining brighter than a freshly polished lens: over 1,000 views on his photos from his visit to the brand-new Mount Dennis Station.
For a guy who still proudly shoots with classic gear like the Sony NEX-3, the Sony a5000, and his trusty old a6000, this was a real feel-good moment.
His visit to Mount Dennis had already been an adventure—wandering the new bus terminal, looking at the UP Express platform, watching GO trains roll in, and catching glimpses of the Line 5 trains being tested. But seeing more than a thousand people click on those photos? That turned the whole outing into something special.
There’s something rewarding about knowing that people all over the world took a moment to look at what Bob saw that day. Maybe they were curious about Toronto’s newest transit hub. Maybe they just liked the way Bob captures a simple moment with older cameras. Or maybe they just enjoy seeing the city through the eyes of someone who looks a little like a tourist but tells the story like a local.
Whatever the reason—Bob appreciates it.
As he likes to say:
“You don’t need the latest gear to tell a good story. You just need to be out there with your camera and your curiosity.”
Here’s to the next thousand views…
and the next Toronto adventure.
