Toronto Urban Photography Workshop: Cora's Kitchen

While one part of the workshop was on photographing buildings, there was another part on street photography.  For that section we went to Kensington Market.  I publish this shot (and tomorrow's) in Black and White while I ponder the recently announced Leica M Monochrom.
