Alyssa Bistonath Photography: Of Life After 24,

I’ve been living in Toronto for almost 8 years and I’ve never spent an entire summer here. (The closest was in 2005 and even then I was in Florida once in a while). So needless to say Ive bee enjoying the summer city immensely. Yesterday I woke up and for a second imagined what it would be like to get up and run to a cold bathroom and hurriedly put on thick socks and a winter jacket to go outside. I shuddered and proceeded with a leisurely day (although I was and am sick - it’s okay because at least it’s summer!!)

In any case, I’ve managed to skip the city for a few days here and there. On Father’s Day I photographed Ingrid at my favourite barn in Bramps. There she is above with her dog Scruffy-Bear. This photo makes me long for summer and wish that it would stay. The second photo is of an old friend from University Jamie Kaiser and his fiancee Melissa down by the waterfront. This photo makes me happy because even when summer has gone these two won’t mind because they can’t wait for October (they’re getting married!)

So there we have it. A summer update. More to come as I run around bare foot, ride around town on the Raleigh and hit up every patio I can find.
