Despite having this addiction for gourmet chocolates, I haven’t been blogging much about it here in Toronto because I almost always find it too sweet compared to what I enjoyed in Switzerland.

One good friend I studied photography at Ryerson was Guinevere Pura. I always was impressed with her eclectic taste in photography and we got together to see some galleries participating this year’s CONTACT Photography Festival.
