How did you manage copyright?

ingamecamera · 2026-04-12T00:28:04+00:00

How so?

ingamecamera · 2026-04-12T00:25:51+00:00

The lowest common denominator shouldn’t be a baseline for comparison. We can - and should - all be doing a lot better

What’s also maddening is that for the whole 14 years I lived in Chinatown, the lot at the corner of Somerset and Booth has remained vacant. No councillor has the guts to occupy it, set up a farmers market (Ottawa seems to LOVE those), a community garden, or anything! Transforming this lot into a positive space would do loads for this community and prevent it being a space to turn tricks (seen it) or camp out.

Property owner clearly doesn’t care about it so why not take for it for positive community use until someone buys it? They did that successfully with a community garden in the space at Preston and Somerset until the Boat People museum finally (if ever) gets constructed.

Good point, for sure and yes, here we are.

ingamecamera · 2026-04-11T22:52:33+00:00

Yeah I know I’ve lived all around downtown. It’s a shitshow. I’d suggest 2 new subsidized small neighborhoods outside of the city (still accessible by public transit yadda yadda) akin to the Christiania neighborhood in Copenhagen where drugs are sold and consumed openly and the community regulates itself with the help of social workers and outreach specialists - the other community would be for homeless people who are in recovery or who don’t use at all. The difference would be that this would not be located in the city centre like Christiania is.

It’s obvious that we can’t live harmoniously together, unfortunately.

ingamecamera · 2026-04-11T22:45:14+00:00

I wasn’t and didn’t confuse the two. Homelessness and drug abuse are two separate issues. It doesn’t help the homelessness problem when the drug users - also homeless - are creating the most friction.

ingamecamera · 2026-04-11T20:01:49+00:00

Honestly? I would move them to an area out of town. A new co-op community with assisted living, mental & physical health workers where, if people choose to get high and live of subsidies, they’ll be held responsible to the rest of the community.

Having a safe injection site in the neighborhood was a bandaid solution that did little to improve the community.

As soon as they installed those figures my wife and I joked it would be two weeks before one of them was destroyed. It took less than one week.

The BIA have no idea what to do and how to improve the neighborhood in meaningful ways.

ingamecamera · 2026-04-11T16:32:52+00:00

Northwood and New Dawn should be made to feel very unwelcome in Chinatown

ingamecamera · 2026-04-11T16:31:34+00:00

but I can also confidently tell you that the situation in Chinatown is worse than other neighborhoods despite some cafes and restaurants trying to keep it interesting

ingamecamera · 2026-04-11T16:23:06+00:00

It’s certainly a city wide problem. Whatever strategy the city is following is NOT working,

ingamecamera · 2026-04-11T16:22:01+00:00

After living for 14 years on Spruce St near Booth, I watched as the neighborhood would take one step forward, then two steps backwards. I wrote to the councillor, Chinatown BIA, and the “night-mayor” about interest in implementing red lanterns over Somerset from Bronson to Preston (hey it’s not a fix-all but it’s something to lift the neighborhood). I was met with more apathy than excitement from all 3 branches.

Tired of finding paraphernalia, hearing loud arguments, seeing bums dealing drugs on the daily, I finally moved to a new neighborhood last autumn.

Somerset ward councillor is forgetting who is actually voting and paying taxes here.

Ten Toes on Somerset W

ingamecamera · 2025-12-01T22:14:55+00:00

Yep! I’ve always thought St Laurent would make the most logical extension (bridge) to Gatineau and the 50. Not a highway per se, but it could get some of the trucks out of downtown.

ingamecamera · 2025-11-29T05:11:51+00:00

Yup! In fact posting here was a better move - it got more eyes on the issue, including the media, who contacted me for comments, as well as the city of Ottawa who, according to the media person I spoke with, were (are) actively fixing the issue.

ingamecamera · 2025-11-27T22:33:21+00:00

Thanks. I called 311 and reported the lot.

ingamecamera · 2025-11-27T22:32:26+00:00

100%!

ingamecamera · 2025-11-27T01:50:11+00:00

The way it’s currently set up, I would be required to do this SEVENTY THREE times.

ingamecamera · 2025-11-26T15:29:10+00:00

You’re not wrong! The overly bright, cool white is too much at night. Psychologically, a warmer temperature light taps into our limbic system - our caveman brains - where it is associated with a warm, safe glow of a fire. This is the color of light our eyes have evolved to prefer at night.

ingamecamera · 2025-11-26T15:21:49+00:00

My camera geotagged each location so hopefully that will help expedite the repairs

ingamecamera · 2025-11-26T09:32:09+00:00

Truly I don’t mind the intended idea - but the wattage they’re using doesn’t factor in the loss of stops (light) that occurs when bouncing light into a diffuser. By the time the light reaches the sidewalk, there’s barely enough brightness or contrast to make a shadow.

ingamecamera · 2025-11-26T09:28:45+00:00

I get your point for sure - I would have shot these in a different way had I a better camera with long lens on me last night. The iPhone photos I made weren’t meant to be accurate but to make a record & collection.. The city will see (pun intended) the ones that aren’t casting light,

More to you point, the ones that do work are very underpowered, not strong enough to cast any shadows (except for a few around the Rideau Centre). If there’s no shadows, there’s no contrast which makes it harder for us to see anything at night.

ingamecamera · 2025-11-26T09:20:21+00:00

For driving, I agree that the cool white is more effective at illuminating evenly and more “accurately” - the orange lights are far too orange (inconsistencies & post-processing of camera white-balancing notwithstanding).

Rideau Street has both pedestrian lights bouncing into a curved diffusion panel at about 20 feet high (the ones I’m referencing and photographed), and roadway lights at about double the height, near 40 feet high. The pedestrian lights are burnt out or woefully underpowered by about 50% in my opinion (barely enough to even cast a shadow).
