Move into the hostel at Queen & Spadina, make up a name and a story, see who you meet and take lots of photos.

go to the bank and ask for $400 in quarters, then come to TPMG social, there are a few hungry piggy banks to fill up.

(December is the month of giving. Don't forget to take advantage of charity donation before end of year)

Save your money. Use the gear you already have, and make a donation to the TPMG piggy :)

chopper - ha ha ha!

rhommel - I had lots of downtime when Call of Duty came out

Actually, now that I think about this thread, it sounds like an interesting challenge. You 4 weeks to come up with one photo, with a limit of $100 outside of the gear you already have (sorry for thread hijack). Or the same parameters, but additional constraints, you can only use one focal length (which we could choose a common one), one lightsource that isn't the sun, and the phot must be taken between 9pm and 12pm.

LOL @ everyone.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been doing some research, more so I've figured out what I want to do next year during xmas holidays, Ghana! I found several volunteer opportunities that would've fit into the first week of january but application and work visa arrangements take longer....

pondering the road trip idea though.
