Normally in the summer Kensington Market is a busy spot, full of people. I recently went there on a Saturday at around 7:30 am, and captured empty streets and long shadows.

The Bloor Street Viaduct in Toronto for many years was sadly for many years a final destination for jumpers, until the safety barrier seen in today’s image was out into place. Changing the view is of course a very small price to pay if it saves lives, and the barrier does open up other photographic possibilities.

Three years ago I worked with Amy Braun as a model, and today I want to congratulate her as a published author! Her urban fantasy story Call From the Grave has just been published on Kindle. I read it last night, and was really impressed (and I have read a lot of Fantasy and Science fiction in my time). I would highly recommend her writing. Well done Amy!

Here is a photo from another photo shoot in Ottawa: a couple shoot with my photographer friend Tim and his girlfriend Janice. It was a very bright day, and being a crew of one, dealing with the sun and the shadows was a constant challenge. In this shot, I decided to go with the bright light, and had them rock the sunglasses 🙂

From my early morning film shoot at the locks in Ottawa recently. I’m a sucker for stairs, and I love the combination of early morning light and hte stonework.

Another image from my Ottawa shoot with Maggie recently. This is a film image on Kodak Portra 400. The sun had hidden for a moment behind a cloud, creating some lovely light.

Another image of Jill, taken with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL medium format camera, then scanned and post processed. Jill has a timeless elegance about her, which I tried to capture with the retro look.

Today a film image from my recent Ottawa trip. I love the long shadows and dramatic lighting of early mornings.

Today another image from my photo shoot with my friend Maria Rozynska this past weekend. This is one of the colour film images, taken using Kodak Ektar 100 colour negative film, using my Mamiya 645 Pro TL medium format camera. I really like Maria’s expression here (this may be my favourite), as well as the slightly retro look of the colour film.

On any summer Saturday, this faux temple in Guildwood Park plays host to one wedding party after another, there for wedding photos. No weddings here in the winter!
