And now for something completely different. Many of you may know my love of photographing antique and classic cars. I’m looking forward to June 7th’s Fleetwood Country Cruize-In. Each year, I go to photograph the beautiful vehicles – always interesting and visual, always challenging. With shooting cars and reflective surfaces, the weather and lighting are important – ideally, overcast but bright. Most years it’s really hot, sunny and dusty but always a fun time. It’s a wonderful fundraiser and a great community event.

Since 1969, the Malibu Restaurant has been part of the Dundas Street East community of London, Ontario. Surrounded by angles of wires and posts this great looking old sign has stood the test of time. The Malibu has been owned and operated by brothers Ted, Garry and Jason Fragiskatos since 1991.
