Working Around Obstructions

On the way to Muskoka recently my friend Bill and I stopped by the side of the road to photograph this scene. I was a challenge to work around a sagging power line in the middle of the frame. I shot this with my Hasseblad (square format), and in post decided to crop it as shown, and I quite like the way it turned out in the end.

Flipping a Switch

From the Thursday we arrived at the lodge. It was a dull afternoon from a skies and lights point of view, until this happened (for about 10-12 minutes). It was liking a switch got flipped.

Monolithic

Today’s image is from a visit to the R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant earlier this summer. I finally got the roll of colour film developed last week.

Geometry in Color

Out with friends last evening in Calgary, on the way to see a movie, and I noticed the geometric scene below. I had to act quickly before a number of people came into frame.

Experimenting With Minimalism

Back to the flooded chairs at the Beaches in Toronto. I was experimenting with minimalism; to me this photograph is about what isn’t in the image, just as much as what is in the image.

Another Three Portraits of Jennifer

Today another three portraits if my good friend and frequent collaborator Jennifer. This shoot was a experiment on two fronts: it was the first time I tried shooting a hand-held portrait with my 4×5 Speed Graphic and 127mm/4.7 Kodak Ektar lens, and it was the first time I tried shooting some Fuji NC 160 4×5 colour sheet film I’ve had for a while.
