Escaping the foul air in Toronto yesterday, I went into St. Lawrence Market right as it opened at 9 a.m. It’s interesting to photograph when it’s empty.
All images taken with my Sony a6100 body and 7Artisans 10mm f/3,5 lens.

Returning to Cyanotypes
It has been a number of years since I made done any cyanotype prints, but I am returning! I made this print (of a on locomotive on display in Guelph, Ontario) yesterday.
Reflection
I saw an ad in the front of an eyeglasses store on the Danforth here in Toronto, and with the reflections to me it told a different story.
At the Beaches With a New Lens
My eyes aren’t getting younger, and focusing manual telephotos is not getting any easier, so I treated myself to a Tamron 70-300mm lens. I was out at the Beaches yesterday, and paired it with my Sony a6100 body.
Shooting With a Cookie
It’s fun to go out from time to time with my “Oreo Cookie” lens. A single element, fixed focus lens reclaimed from a single-use camera. With a lens like this, you aren’t shooting for technical quality; you are shooting for fun.
These are images of downtown Toronto yesterday, using hte cookie lens on my Sony a6100.
Houseboat Reflection
Seen in Scarborough Bluffs, Toronto this morning.
The Only Cafe Portrait Project: Larry Williamson
At the Only Cafe this morning for another portrait for my long term project. Larry is a very talented photographer I met recently.
Building in the Beaches
I was in the Beaches in Toronto yesterday, and was shooting using the slit aperture technique for the first time this season. I tired combining that technique with some intentional out of focus, and like the result I got.
Into the Sun
Early this morning I was in front of Union Station in Toronto and decided to shoot into the sun. I like what I got.
Dragon Boat Racing Photography with Bad Lenses
Photographing the Dragon Boat races at the Islands this past Saturday morning. I do not have a modern long telephoto lens, and was forced to use an old 200mm Pentax lens, and an old craptastic Spiratone 500mm f/8 mirror telephoto lens. Both manually focused.
My focus hit rate was not good, lol.
