I thought this image was well suited for today, as I fly back to Calgary for work for a week, then on to Vancouver for a break. It’s two weeks away from the darkroom and the scanner, so except for a couple of images in the queue the blog will slow down for a bit, or perhaps there will be a few smartphone images. 🙂

Fall was made for colour film, but there is still a hidden world waiting in black and white. These two images to my eyes show a different view of autumn.

I liked the stark morning light on this railing in High Park yesterday morning.

Sometimes an image surprises me. Last Saturday afternoon before a concert I had a little while after the rehearsal to wander around with my Hasselblad. I didn’t finish the roll until earlier today (a couple of attempts at self-portraits: the less said the better). I don’t even remember taking this image but the darkness of the forest in this image really struck me; is the shard of sunlight coming through enough to overcome it? It’s funny when an image hits close to home.

One more from TodMorden Mills: the sun was just beginning to show through the trees, and was lighting up the railing in an interesting way.

Today I have two more tree images from Todmorden Mills. The sun had not quite reached these two scenes and the shadows were still fairly deep.

Another image from Todmorden Mills in Toronto. I love how this overgrown fence blends in with the trees and plants

Early morning at Todmorden Mills in Toronto, the sun coming over the trees, creating a complicated light. I was there for about an hour, watching the light progress across the location, like a large sundial.

I really liked the texture on this old fence. Layers of paint on rusty iron.

I liked the look of this old utility pole in Kensington Market in Toronto, as it loomed over the street, with the angle of the camera exaggerating its tilt.
