I am an architectural rendering model



I received a mysterious call on Friday. I knew who was calling, a friend, but he chuckled and told me to go to the corner of Church and Carlton. That was it, no detail. Then later another friend called and left a more concise message. Turns out I am in the newly erected rendering for the renovation of Maple Leaf Gardens. Bottom right corner, but front and centre in the view point. OK, I do a lot of renderings as part of my work and if based on public photography the norm is to blur out the recognizable faces. Or to put up a sign that says something to the effect ‘you will be photographed’. Or to pay them. The worst part is that both friends recognized the dog first, then me. Need to have a talk with my PR agent.

And sadly, somewhat portentously, my big dog, that died last September, is just cut out of the rendering. Or is that to think too much?
