To me, these trees that had to be cut down (I think perhaps because of beetles?) look like pieces of old statues one would find among ruins.

Outside the Cathedral
Not yet replaced by new growth, this plant in the park beside St. James Cathedral in Toronto had some interesting textures.

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.

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.

Portrait in the Pub
Today a portrait of my friend and fellow podcaster Mike, taken in a pub using my Pentax ME 35mm camera. I haven’t used this camera much recently but got it out for the April episode of the Classic Camera Revival podcast, where Pentax was the topic of the day. The lens was a 50mm/1.7 and I was shooting wide-open on Tri-X film.
Shore Stripes
A large (temporary) pond is making the Beaches an interesting place right now. Planning to go back with a medium format camera later this week!
