No... I might very well be on that bus on Tuesday! I hope Spidey is there!
June 15th, 2012  
great action shot!
June 15th, 2012  
...also love all the modes of transport caught in the frame (bikes, cars, buses, webs)
:-)
June 15th, 2012  
I love his Spidey sneakers! And the way you've blurred everything but him, great sense of motion. I taught a child once who would do anything I asked if I called him Spiderman. Or Laser.
June 15th, 2012  
:) Awesome
June 15th, 2012  
LOL great capture :)
June 15th, 2012  
@shutterbugger srsly? you must check out the square... this afternoon there was a rock concert going on... plus they were handing out free candy, free tastes of ben 'n jerry ice cream, and free monster energy drinks if you gave a donation to charity... spidey tends to hang out on the west side of yonge, south of dundas... not sure if he is there before 5pm-ish... i don't think i've ever seen him at lunch time... lemme know if you wanna do coffee!
June 15th, 2012  
I love his stance, it makes me laugh :-) Love the motion, and the b&w......very cool capture!
June 15th, 2012  
Had to FAV this. 1) Because it's just a cool photo. Love the sense of movement behind Spidey. 2) Because I've worn a Spiderman costume myself (at the kids birthday party) and believe me, it ain't all that comfortable, plus it's hard to see out of those Spidey eyes! So, kudos to that dude for spending all morning in that getup.
June 15th, 2012  
rock on spidey! like the exposure
June 15th, 2012  
Awesome.
June 15th, 2012  
@cromwell why thank you, Cromwell! and yes, i can imagine that outfit is less than comfortable (altho' i expect he's got it better than marie antoinette in her white face paint)... so... any pics of you dressed up as spidey?
June 15th, 2012  
@northy -- Yes, there are a few, but none taken by me. Obviously. I think it was for Nessie's second birthday. She was about to blow out the candles when I snuck up behind her and bowed my head over hers. She looked at me for a moment and then burst into tears. Spidey had to make a hasty retreat after that. LOL!
June 15th, 2012  
@cromwell oh dear... i hope you didn't scare her off spidey for good!
June 15th, 2012  
@northy -- Nah, it was like a kid meeting Santa Claus for the first time. They love the fat man until they actually see him in the flesh. Then bawl their eyes out when forced sit on his lap. The next day they get all excited when they see him on TV.
June 15th, 2012  
cool shot!
June 15th, 2012  
Nice capture. Very cool. I love the blur in the background.
June 15th, 2012  
I love how Spiderman posed for you! Nice action in the background, too!
June 15th, 2012  
No WAY! That is so freaking awesome!
June 15th, 2012  
Fantastic! Love it!
He may also come out here, I've got a life size real Batman he can hang with. :)
June 15th, 2012  
FAV. It's so cool. Kind of inverse action movie scene, Spiderman standing completely still in his cool pose, while the world speeds past him.
June 15th, 2012  
One of the best street shot's I have seen this year, great job.
June 15th, 2012

June 15th, 2012  
OMG, this is so excellent. Love the movement of the vehicles and uh SPIDERMAN! What the hell is that crime fighter up to now? FAV!
June 15th, 2012  
@northy srsly! My cousin is coming from Manchester and my Mum roped me into a tour. She told me I'd get some great shots from the top of the bus. She really knows how to work me now! I'd love to have coffee, but there'll be no time!
June 15th, 2012  
@shutterbugger No worries - my sched on Tuesday is messy anyway... Looking forward to your photos!
June 15th, 2012
