Spent the afternoon at the MBAM with the Torlonia Collection — the most important private collection of ancient Roman sculpture in the world, locked away since WWII and never before seen outside Europe. 2000 years old and their first time leaving Rome. I had no idea this was even here. #TorloniaCollection #AncientRome #Montreal #MBAM #RomanSculpture​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Walk through the gallery. Past the art. Through the curtain. You already know. @crybaby.gallery lands at number 69 on North America’s @50bestbars 2026, also featured @cntraveler @canadasbest100 & World’s 50 Best Discovery. Six years of amber light, rotating exhibitions, and cocktails that hit every single time. Team CBG built something this city didn’t know it needed. Proud to have been shooting it since the beginning. 🖤🥂 📷 @rickettes 📍 1468 Dundas St W, Toronto #CryBabyGallery #50BestBars #TorontoCocktails #TorontoBars yyz

A century of history. A bar that’s hosted royalty, world leaders, and Toronto’s finest. And now, officially, ranked #19 among the best bars on the continent ~ Congratulations to the team at @librarybartoronto of @fairmontroyalyork on landing #19 on North America’s @50bestbars It’s been an honour to photograph this room and its extraordinary cocktail creations over the years — my lens has had an easy job of it. Every glass, every amber pour, every shadow on polished marble. When the subject is this good, you just try not to get in the way. This one’s yours! 📍 Toronto · 📷 @rickettes · #NorthAmerica50BestBars #FairmontRoyalYork #LibraryBar

Got to stretch my legs with some Band Photos - @flake.to - a five-piece band channeling raw energy, everyday surrealism, friendship, & revenge. The band consists of Toronto music scene regulars: bassist Neil Rankin (Germaphobes, New Positions), guitarist Erik Jude (HSY, Deliluh) drummer Erika Wharton-Shukster (Deliluh), rhythm guitarist Rochelle Bulmer (SAP), and vocalist Kalyn Kleiser. Flake brings the charm to sludgy garage rock trash culture. MARCH 13th @thebabygtoronto FLAKE will be celebrating their self- releasing their full length album ‘Tightfit’ don’t miss this show. Tickets on sale @dicefm 📷 @rickettes
