Back to the ravine near Yonge/St. Clair in Toronto this morning. First time shooting here with the Hasselbald.

Decay
On a recent Toronto Film Shooters walk, this decaying bicycle seat caught my eye, and the brilliant sunshine of the day made for dramatic lighting.

Back to the Hasselblad
On Sunday morning I picked up my Hasselblad from the shop and shot a quick test roll in High Park. This was my favourite shot of the day.

Merging
I like how the light in the trees sort of merges with the graffiti in the background.

Postcard From the Dystopia
I love the Beaches District in Toronto; I love Bluffers Park. Then there is Sugar Beach: a sad little boxed in spot, with a great view of a factory, and no shortage of “No Swimming signs.” I’ve shot there a few times as I find it fascinating, at the same time it repulses me.
Both images shot using Nikon F 35mm SLR, 24mm/2.8 Nikkor lens.

This is the last image from my series of images taken at the Beaches in Toronto with my Mamiya RZ67 and red/polarizing filters. The film used for this image was Rollei Retro 80s.

Two More Chairs At The Beaches
There are a number of pairs of these chairs at The Beaches in Toronto. I recently posted an image of a pair of chairs in colour; today it’s black and white, taken Sunday morning with my Mamiya RZ67, Rollei RPX25 film and the combination of red and polarizing filters to darken the sky.
