Back Alley Basketball

Walking through alleys in the College/Ossington neighbourhood in Tornoto today, and key running across basketball hoops. All images taken with my Sony a7ii and 28mm f/3.5 OLympus Zuiko lens (via adapter)

A Sunny Apocalypse Morning

Given current geopolitical events, so often when I got out with my camera I am looking for distortions, making things look unreal, etc. And when I get home to do the post work I am doing it even more.

Nothing seems normal. Everything feels wrong, like it’s twisting into a dystopian spiral.

This morning I went to the University of Toronto campus, and yet again I feel my images reflect what is looming over us in Canada.

A Foreboding Sunny Morning

I was out at the Beaches in Toronto on Sunday morning. The sun was bright and dazzling, the sky a cheerful blue.

But give the current circumstances given the chaos south of the border in the US, I cannot help but see foreboding in every image.

TTC Fisheye

I was out with photography friends this week, in the northwest portion of the TTC Line One subway. Iwas shooting with my 4mm f/2.8 spherical fisheye lens, and I like the results I got.

Sugar Beach in February

Sugar Beach in Toronto (named for being right next to a Sugar plant by Lake Ontario) has always seemed rather surrealistic, and it seemed especially so yesterday morning. Snow covered, under an overcast sky.

Both images taken with a Sony a6100 body and TTArtisans 35mm f/0.95 lens.
