A Moment In Time
Love locks capture a moment in time. I look at them and wonder how the stories they tell evolved. Was the permanence an illusion?
Macro in Kew Gardens, Toronto
Out yesterday again with the Sony A7ii. The bright sun made plenty of opportunities for backlighting.
Loving the Swirl
I was in the Beaches again this past weekend, and my lens of choice was my 58mm/f2 Helios 44/2. I love the overall look and swirl of this lens when used wide open!

Wherever you imagine the heart to be is where you will find it.

Forty-One Years Ago
Every now and then I get reminded of the passage of time. I recently ran across these old slides of flowers in my mother’s garden that I shot as a 15 year old in the summer of 1977. I had just gotten my first SLR, my Yashica TL-Electro (which I still have!) a few months prior. This was my first time shooting colour slide film, some private label pre-rolled Ektachrome. The lens was the Yashinon 50mm f1.9, using extension tubes for close focus.
A Tiny Chair
This chair (meant for a doll) was made from clothes pegs. I thought it look interesting in the light that came through the blinds.

End of a Roll
If you’re a 35mm film shooter you’ve been here: you have a couple of blank frames on a roll of film, and you don’t want to waste them so you look for something, anything to shoot to finish the roll. That was the case for this image: I wanted to see the other shots on the roll, had a few shots left, so on a day where the sun shone brightly onto a table in our sunroom, I got the idea of putting a mask in the sunlight and shooting it with my 55mm Micro-Nikkor macro lens. Very happy with the results!

Yellow
Another image created using the Lomography 400 colour negative film and my Rolleiflex with the Rollinar close-up lens. I love the yellow hue of this plant!
