I finally gave my Media Pass the upgrade it deserved.
No more stiff, washed-out ID photo that looked like I’d just rolled out of bed.
Now I’ve got Cartoon Bob front and centre—in the bucket hat, glasses, and that calm “I’m ready for anything” expression.
It might sound funny, but this cartoon actually feels more like me than the real photo ever did. It captures the Bob people see out on the streets: the guy wandering with a Sony camera, soaking in the city, always on the lookout for a story.
And of course, even with the new badge, people will still mistake me for a tourist.
That’s become part of my charm—and honestly one of my greatest advantages. When folks think you’re a visitor, they relax, they chat, and they let their guard down. That’s when the real Toronto shows itself, and those are the stories I love to tell.
So now the badge matches the brand: friendly, curious, a little cartoonist, and always ready to photograph the next moment.
New pass, same Bob.
Time to hit the streets and let the stories find me.
