Facade

There is an interesting structure on the Ryerson campus in Toronto: a green house, hiding behind the facade of a muhc older building. I will definitely need to go back and shoot some more when I have more time.

My Friend

The Hipstamatic app on my iPhone will always in one sense be a guilty pleasure, as its affects are digital recreations of classic photographic techniques; my favourite are the wet plate / tintype effects. While no substitute for the real thing, it’s hard to imaging bringing a view camera and a portable darkroom in Podcamp Toronto 2016 yesterday to take a quick portrait of my friend Sylvain.

Different Gear

One more image of the Beaches last Saturday, but this one created using my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app. While most of my posts will continue to be film-based, I will likely continue to post more iPhone-created images. At the end of the day, it’s about the image, not the gear.

Surreal

The bus stop where I catch the bus to work every day is in front of an apartment building, and sometimes discarded furniture is found in the general area. For the last few days this old vinyl chair has been sitting at the stop, almost inviting people to have a seat waiting for the bus. This morning at 5:45 am it was covered in frost.

Is This It?

On the bus, going to work in the dark at 6:30 in the morning. I so often see the hollow fatigue of those around me. Are they wondering if this is the totality of their existence?
