Getting the Expression
Every now and then a candid portrait clicks. 🙂 Taken at a recent meet-up of Toronto film shooters.

Busker in the Blossoms
The Sakura Cherry Blossom event in Toronto tends to be hit or miss, based on the weather. In 2016 for example it was pretty much a bust. This year however the blossoms were in full view. In a sea of smartphones, DSLR’s and selfie sticks it was fun shooting black and white with a rangefinder.

Empty Spaces
I have always been drawn to spaces meant for crowds when there aren’t a lot of people around. At certain points during the day this hall in Union Station in Toronto would be much busier.

Chairs and Water
Today another image of chairs by the water at the Toronto Beaches. Widely scattered, they seemed like sentinals, watching for the coming summer on a rather cool spring day.

Complicated
I love complicated trees; they have so many stories to tell.

Flowers on a Bike
There are a few of these bicycle/flower combos on Queen Street in the Beaches: an ad for a local business. In colour they are a cheery yellow, but I like the look of black and white on a cloudy day.

Union Station Train Platform
Last week I was able to take a couple of images of the platform at Union Station while waiting for a GO train. At least this time I didn’t get shooed away by security staff.

Layers of Solitude
I was out a few days ago with my Kodak Medalist I camera in nearby Taylor Creek Park, shooting one of my favourite bridges. I noticed in the distance a woman wearing the hijab out walking, and suddenly to my eyes the scene was no longer about the bridge but about solitude and anonymity.
