Last weekend my eye was caught by the reflections at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto.

Yesterday morning down around the RedPath Sugar Refinery the light was amazing; a bright, low-angled light applied a stark clarity to everything it touched. I was shooting Rollei Retro 80s film, using a red filter to darken the skies and exaggerate the contrast.

Link to the show

This week I have a chat with Toronto Street Photogapher Leon Bonin about his gift for fearlessly approaching strangers to take their photograph.

Some Examples of Leon’s great work:

And a portrait I took of Leon in 2016

I also talk about usability and old habits.

In the Starbucks on Front Street in Toronto last Saturday. Great window light made for a scene I had to capture.

Bumping Into a Friend

Last Saturday while out as part of one Photowalk, while a couple of us were in a Starbucks another film photographer friend Sean Patenaude walked in. The light coming in through the window was perfect.
