It was fun meeting up with Alex, along with her husband Alan who is a good friend of mine and has also appeared in the Only Cafe Portrait Series himself. Als always for this project I used my Sony A7ii camera and vintage Helios 44 lens.

Storefront in the Junction
This storefront in the Junction neighbourhood in Toronto caught my eye.
A Hazy Day at Bluffer’s Park
This past Wednesday I was out at Bluffer’s Park with photography friends. It was a very calm day at the lake, with a very hazy bright sky.
Mottled Sunlight
Earlier this year I was in downtown Toronto on Front Street with my Sony A7ii camera. At the right time of day, and bright sunlight you can get some interesting building reflections. I lined up the sun behind the construction crane, and added the equivalent of a dark red filter in post.
More Dark Times
So much of my work continues to look gloomy…
Near the Brickworks in Toronto recently.
Dark Times
I can’t help be worried about the world we are living in right now: war, climate change, disease and the rise of rightwing extremism. It seems most of my non-portrait photography also reflects my concerns.
Only Cafe Portrait Project: My Friend Lisa
A bit of a different approach to my Only Cafe Portrait project this time around. It was later in the day when a few of use got together, and the light was different. Still I like this image of my friend Lisa.
Only Cafe Portrait Series: Chrissie Wu
Recently I sat down with my friend, photographer and fellow Classic Camera Revival Podcast host Chrissie Wu for my Only Cafe Portrait Project. The light was a bit challenging that day but I am still happy with what we got.
The Only Cafe Portrait Project:
After a hiatus due to Covid restrictions, my Only Cafe Portrait Project is back in business!
This week I had the pleasure of meeting up with my friend Elana Harte-O’Neill. She’s a smart, energized and very talented musician, and we had a great chat!!
As always for this project, the camera was my Sony A7ii and the lens was my vintage Helios 44.
Five Minutes by the Water
Last Saturday I went down to the Beaches, this time with my Sony A7ii camera and Tamron 90mm lens. For a window of a few minutes there was some amazing light!
