Hope

· Leave a comment ·

I don’t normally post more than one post a day, but this is not a normal day. Yesterday we went to Stanley Park in Vancouver, and walked through a forest of huge cedars. Everywhere we saw fallen trees, giants that had come crashing down, or stumps of trees that had to be cut down  for one reason or another. In this sense, the forest was a cemetery.

And yet wherever a giant tree had fallen, new trees, new life was flourishing; amidst the chaos of decay, hope for the future, proof that life endures. So not a cemetery, but proof that life, and hope, cannot be held back.

Courage.

Yesterday we went to the Vancouver Art Gallery to see the Walker Evans photography exhibit.  (Incredible and well worth seeing, by the way. If you’ve never seen top quality silver gelatin prints, this is an exhibit to see!). I happened to look through a doorway and saw a gallery employee in a perfect pose, framed by the building, so I quickly took the shot with my iPhone before he moved.

This is the second of two weeks away from the darkroom, so while I will be shooting film I can’t post it until my return to Toronto. So in the meantime, I will have fun with the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone. 🙂

Early Music

· Leave a comment ·

My wife Janice belongs to the early music ensemble Sine Nomine, and last night they put on a concert of 14th century music at St. Thomas’ Church in Toronto. I had a chance to take a couple of images with the Hipstamatic: one of some of the instruments used, and the other of the Bapistry at the back of the church.

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.

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.

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.
