I really liked the look of the bridge through the Weeping Willow tree at this location in Taylor Creek Park, Toronto.

Around the Corner
I like pictures of paths and stairs. They are like stories, inviting you to follow them and find out what is waiting for you, just around the corner. This image is from Taylor Creek in Toronto, last weekend.

Dance of the Seasons
On a cold and blustery Saturday, a very brave Rowena was an amazing model for an outdoor dance-themed shoot.

Two Friends
When I was working with my photographer friend Ed recently, a friend of his came up, with his owner in tow 🙂

Camera-Phone, Steampunk Style
From my steampunk shoot with talented author Rebecca Diem who has just published The Stowaway Debutante, a fun steampunk read. I had the idea for the prop (the world’s oldest camera-phone? 🙂 ) some time ago, and this shoot was the perfect time to use it!

Sabrina 1
I had the pleasure of working with Sabrina, (the daughter of a theatre friend of mine) on Thursday. As someone with both dance and theatre experience, Sabrina was a natural when it came to posing and expression, and needed next to no instruction.

Ed
I had the chance yesterday to meet another local Toronto photographer Edward McLaughlin for a portrait shoot, using my Rolleiflex. It was a very dull day weatherwise, so I shot Tri-X at 800 and developed in in Diafine
Rowers in the Sun
Another image from my happy place, down at the Beaches.

On Saturday I was again down at the Toronto Beaches, and among the films I was shooting with my Rolleiflex was Rollei IR 400, a film that is sensitive to light in the infrared portion of the spectrum. With a nearly opaque IR 720 filter, one gets an almost otherworldly view of an otherwise normal sunny day.

Everyday Objects 1
It can be a fun challenge to look for everyday objects that can be an interesting composition. This collection of pylons on Queen Street in Toronto caught my eye yesterday
