Pre-Season

Today i got some E6 (slide) film back that I had shot a few weeks ago at the large Beach Volleyball area at Ashbridges Bay here in Toronto. The scene looked a bit surrealistic to me.

Dealing With the Wires

I love the look of the old firehall in the Beaches, but I have never gotten an image of the entire building that I am completely happy with. If only all those wires were underground!

Another shooter at work

This past Thursday evening I met up with some fellow film photography friends at the Beaches / Ashbridge’s Bay for some evening shooting. We saw this videographer who was setting up a sunset time lapse video.

Glen Stewart Ravine

I was in the Glen Stewart Ravine in the Beaches last weekend. Everything is so green and alive! (Although the tree stump in the second image leaves me wishing I could have seen the tree when it was alive). All images taken with Hasselblad 500C/M, 50mm/4 Distagon lens on Kodak Ektar 100 film.

Right Place, Right Time

I was in Riverdale Park, Toronto recently on the footbridge that crosses the DVP, and saw this person out walking two dogs. Only had a moment to get the symmetry lined up, to the extent I was able to.

Repurposed

This Yonge/Summerhill area high end LCBO (Liquor store for those of you outside of Ontario) used to be  a train station. I’m glad the architecture survived, but in this car dominated city I can’t helping thinking it would have been nice if it had remained an active train station.
