Under the Bridge Again

One more image from under the bridge near Yonge and St. Clair in Toronto. I was drawn to the lines.

A Combination of Factors

I was out on Friday with the Hasselblad, and took this image in Nathan Phillips Square. I used a roll of expired Tri-X Professional, and as it turned out the film back I was using will have to have its light seals replaced, as there was some fogging. But the combination of technical issues resulted in a look I quite like. I had to walk around a bit to get the correct angle for the sun, so I didn’t get blinded 🙂

Steps

Another view of steps in the ravine near St. Clair and Yonge in Toronto. Uneven and worn, and a bit tricky when descending!

Decay

On a recent Toronto Film Shooters walk, this decaying bicycle seat caught my eye, and the brilliant sunshine of the day made for dramatic lighting.

Back to the Hasselblad

On Sunday morning I picked up my Hasselblad from the shop and shot a quick test roll in High Park. This was my favourite shot of the day.

Merging

I like how the light in the trees sort of merges with the graffiti in the background.

Postcard From the Dystopia

I love the Beaches District in Toronto; I love Bluffers Park. Then there is Sugar Beach: a sad little boxed in spot, with a great view of a factory, and no shortage of “No Swimming signs.” I’ve shot there a few times as I find it fascinating, at the same time it repulses me.
