Love of Family

I was recently asked by a friend if I could do some family pictures for her. Her daughter is autistic, and the love and support my friend and her husband give her is undeniable, as is the love their daughter gives them back in return. Neither of these two images were planned poses, and I had to rush to capture the first one (resulting in less than perfect framing).

Expressions

Here are three more images from last week’s Street photography workshop. To me, each expression either tells a story, hints at a story, or leaves you wondering what the story is. All shot with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3, on Rollei RPX400 film.

Four Portraits

Last week I was at a Street Photography workshop. Btu so far my favourite images are not those of strangers on the street, but of fellow photographers. All images taken with Rolleiflex 3.5 E3 (Xenotar lens) on Rollei RPX 400 film.

Dealing With the Wires

I love the look of the old firehall in the Beaches, but I have never gotten an image of the entire building that I am completely happy with. If only all those wires were underground!

Another shooter at work

This past Thursday evening I met up with some fellow film photography friends at the Beaches / Ashbridge’s Bay for some evening shooting. We saw this videographer who was setting up a sunset time lapse video.

Right Place, Right Time

I was in Riverdale Park, Toronto recently on the footbridge that crosses the DVP, and saw this person out walking two dogs. Only had a moment to get the symmetry lined up, to the extent I was able to.

Repurposed

This Yonge/Summerhill area high end LCBO (Liquor store for those of you outside of Ontario) used to be  a train station. I’m glad the architecture survived, but in this car dominated city I can’t helping thinking it would have been nice if it had remained an active train station.
