Another image from Hamilton: this time, it’s a GO train, and to me with its green matching the trees, it seemed like a creature hiding, waiting to pounce.

Another Bridge, and a new podcast episode
Another view in the Bloor/Dundas area, of the pedestrian bridge that goes over the train tracks. Taken with my Rolleiflex on Rollei RPX 400 film.
Also, my personal podcast, MPP is back, with more of a focus on photography.
At the GO station
On the way back from Hamilton I had a moment to take this while our GO train pulled into the station. The original negative is square format, but I ended up cropping the final image.

Morning Light
From my recent weekend in Hamilton. Walking around the downtown core around 8 am I loved seeing how the morning light lit up old buildings such as this one.

The Clock in The Station
While in Hamilton recently I revisited the Art Deco period GO transit bus terminal, with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 and some Tri-X film.
A Colourful City
Hamilton, Ontario is still saddled (unfairly in my opinion) with the reputation of being a gritty and unattractive city. I think the opposite is true: it is a city of fascinating architecture and splashes of colour, even in the most mundane items.

“The Person I Want to Be”
Today’s post is about three photos and two good friends, at this past weekend’s MMPR meetup in Hamilton, Ontario. The first image is Bob Goyetche in mid laugh (and there was a lot of laughing last weekend!). The second and third photos are of my good friend Ken Bole. When Ken saw the second portrait he said “I look like the person I want to be.”
This just might be the nicest comment I’ve ever received for one of my portraits.

Royal Botanical Gardens
From my recent trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens. I loved the look of this raised wooden walkway as it wound its way through a forest.

My 1000th Post
This post is the 1000th on my photo blog since its inception, so I wanted to pick an image that fit the occasion. This image from recent day in Banff works for me: it reminds me that photography is a journey as much as a destination, and that the destination will always be partially hidden, awaiting discovery.

Urban View From Above
Near the Dundas West subway station in Toronto there is an elevated walkway over railway tracks, and some interesting buildings. A gritty part of town.
