So Empty

The Skywalk between Union Station and Rogers Centre in Toronto was very quiet yesterday morning; the lack of people made it seem larger.

West of Union Station

I went out this morning with my new (to me) Nikon FM and Nikkor 35mm lens, received from my friend Jennifer Grange. The scene below is just west of Union Station in Toronto. After being unused for a number of years, all I had to do was pop in some batteries and it worked like a charm. 🙂

Only in Colour

Today I’m posting one more image from Bluffer’s Beach on January 1st, 2017. It was originally shot in black and white (the only film I had with me), but the image really didn’t work that way, so I added so hand tinting with pencil crayons to a inkjet print.

By the Shore

Going back to Bluffer’s Park Beach on January 1st. I was drawn by the reflections on the water further ashore, left by larger waves.

Low Sun

Another image from my January 1st outing to Bluffer’s Park Beach. The sun was low in the sky at this moment.

A New Year

For a few years now I have made it my own little ritual to go out for a shoot on the morning of January 1st. That way, no matter what else happens, I can say the new year is another year in which I have some at least some photography. 🙂 This morning I went to Bluffer’s Park Beach in Toronto. A shore symbolizes time to me: the waves and water are eternal, and the shore is always changing.
