Somewhere on King St. I think. Time to start taking notes as I shoot!

Memory
I took this image on a recent walk downtown, and I don’t remember the location. There are days my memory (or lack thereof) just scares me …

Framing
I love this old railway bridge in the lower Don Valley here in Toronto. There has been a lot of rain this spring so there is lush vegetation everywhere, and I like the internal framing effect in this image.

The Beaches Through a Red Filter
Yes, I love the look of skies darkened by a red filter. To me it seems like a sense of stark drama is created, a hidden eeriness is revealed. These four images are from a recent trip down to The Beaches.

Mismatch
I was out in the Beaches last Sunday and snapped this image quickly before the motorcyclist could drive off, so I wasn’t looking closely at the background. When I scanned the negative and looked at the image I was amused by the mismatch of foreground and background.

A Lens I Haven’t Used Much
Today’s image was shot using a lens I tend not to use much, but should take out more often: my Leitz Elmar 90mm/f4. This is an old Leica screw mount lens that fits on my Voigtlander Bessa R2M via an adapter. It’s prone to flare but with a lens hood it’s pretty good.

Graffiti Alley in Colour
Another visit to Graffiti Alley in Toronto. A much sunnier day that the last time I was here! All images taken on Kodak Gold 200 C-41 colour film, with my Voigtlander Bessa R2M and 15mm/F4.5 Superwide Heliar lens.
The Filtered View
Last Saturday morning I was back in the Beaches area, near the R.H. Harris plant. I have shot there many times before, but this was the first time I took my new Voigtlander Superwide 15mm lens, and also the first time I shot Eastman Double-X black and white film with a read filter. Really happy with the results in these images!

Back to my favourite trees in the city (in High Park), this time with my Voigtlander Bessa R2M and 15mm/f4.5 SuperWide Heliar lens.
