Final Preparations at TIFF Bell Lightbox
_________
A construction worker putting in the final preparations at the TIFF Bell Lightbox at King/John streets. This was shot on the media tour before it's official opening, that's why these guys were still around! That's how I was also to get a shot of this. They did an absolutely great job of the space - it's now one of my favourite interior spaces in the city.

TIFF Red Carpet Images
To say it's been a busy week is a huge understatement. The 2010 Toronto International Film Festival this week has robbed me of all my time and of my birthday this week - but since I love what do, it's no problem. Yesterday was the last day of the festival (September 9-19) and so I'm posting some images from the week.
This is Russell Peters - after a brief conversation with him and a few laughs he gave me this awesome pose on the "green carpet".
Colin Mochrie and his wife Debra McGrath answering questions for etalk.
Left to right: Sturla Gunnarsson, David Suzuki, and George Stroumboulopoulos posing for the camera.
As you can see this is David Suzuki and I'm riding off the coattails of etalk during the carpet.
Fans waiting for talent outside a red carpet hoping to get a picture of somebody famous.
This beautiful lady is local photographer Caitlin Cronenberg - pretty sure I have the biggest childhood crush on her ever.
Johnathon Keltz from Entourage (Ari's assistant) on the red carpet at Hello! Canada.
Lennox Lewis speaking with Rogers TV (cable access in Toronto). Surprisingly, he was at a few red carpets, and I saw him around town as well.
From left to right: Dustin Milligan, Rick de Kelrk and Amanda Crew
I'm not sure who this is - but I think the one on the right is Kathleen Robertson from the original 90210
Ivana Santilli posing for the camera.
Trish Stratus - former WWE star.
K'naan at the TIFF Lightbox Block Party - which was the launch of the building.
You can only take so many shots of the same nature. There were a lot of children at this event.
Fans line up at the Elgin theater for a screening of Henry's Crime.
Matt Damon posing around fans at the premiere of Hereafter.
Clint Eastwood rushing past cameras!
This was the night I waited two hours to miss the shot.
Dean Blundell and Todd Shapiro entering the theater - they weren't on the red carpet.

It was along hectic week and I've learned quite a bit, especially how to deal with very little social life and intense days at work with sharp deadlines. There are loads of other images but I'm saving others to sprinkle between blog posts throughout the next few months. I'm going to leave this for a few days and then start to update regularly again!
