This wood by the water at Wreck Beach had the look of a claw to me.

A Spot of Life
Back to the Wreck Beach in Vancouver for this one. When I posted this image in a Facebook group, I got a comment back that the bird in the middle seemed like a “spot of life.” Seems like a good title to me 🙂

Same Chairs, Different Season
There are a number of these sets of chairs at the Toronto Beaches, and I have featured them a couple of times in the past. This is how they caught my eye in the winter.

Winter Dock
On Saturday I took my Mamiya RZ67 down to the Beaches. It was a very still, very grey day, and sometimes it was hard to see where the water ended and the sky began.

The Stark Sun
This post is a series of images taken in Toronto a couple of weeks back in the mid-late afternoon. I love the sun when it is at a low angle; it imposes a sense of drama on downtown buildings. All images taken with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 on Ilford HP5+ film, developed in LegacyPro MicX developer.
Below the Edge
Two more images from Wreck Beach in Vancouver. Beaches by their nature are arenas of change, a battleground for erosion and climate.

Stones
Another image from Wreck Beach. There are many sections of the Beach which are covered in large rocks. I felt any any moment I would trip and fall, resulting in a broken ankle and/or smashed camera. Luckily neither happened 🙂

On a Sad Day
This sculpture is on English Bay Beach, Vancouver. I shot the roll with this image the day I found out my friend Bob Goyetche had passed away, but I only developed it this week. I was numbed and in shock that morning (like a lot of people that day). I feel the tragedy of that day imposed a symbolism on everything I saw.

Furtive Light
From Wreck Beach, Vancouver. The light was furtive and changing. This light did not last long.

Late Fall Portrait
This past weekend I created some portraits of my friend John Russell in Taylor Creek Park. He noticed some tree trunks had been carved at one end, and so we worked it into some of the images.
