I’ve always found the outdoor/above ground subway stations in Toronto fascinating, especially ones (like Rosedale station below) on the oldest part of what is now called Line 1.

Adox CMS 20 II is basically a high contrast ultra fine grain microfilm stock that can be used as a continuous tone film when developed with special developers. The main developer for this film (Adotech) tends to be expensive so photographers are always looking for other options. In this case I tried Rollei RLC Low contrast developer, itself not cheap but I had some around. It was a very bright day, almost unfair for this film but I did get some usable images.

To be honest, I did not feel particularly safe on these stairs in Elora, it was a rainy day and the stone steps were slippery.

Seen on the trip back from Muskoka a few weeks ago. The dead tree and the derelict building seemed like the perfect combination.

Be sure to check out the latest episode of the Classic Camera Revival Podcast; this time around we talk about taking studio cameras out into the field. Also check out my own show MPP (My Photography Podcast). This week I am talking to Canadian Photographer Avard Woolaver about his photography of Toronto in the 1980’s.
Recently I have posted a number of images taken in the Glen Stewart Ravine in the Beaches areas of Toronto. Today, a colour image. The day I took this was a brief interval between rain showers, and there was quite a sense of lushness, despite the fact of it being the fall.

This image is from the recent Photography meet-up in Elora. I loved this tree hanging on to the edge of the cliff.

I tend to avoid wide-angle lenses for portraits; they tend not to be very flattering. The angle and distance from the subject in this portrait (my friend, and fellow photographer and podcaster Alex Luyckx) made it work. The light of an overcast day coming through the window was amazing.
