The bright lights at the Christmas Market overwhelmed the exposure (I knew I would happen) but I like the effect.

I’ve Stared At The Bright Lights
There is a song by The Rankin Family called The Fisherman’s Son, that contains the line: “I stared at the bright lights the dark city ways” and that line comes to mind when I look at this image of King street in the Theatre District at night recently.

Still Life Project
I have decided to start a still life project this week. Not bowls of fruit and bottles of wine (not that there is anything wrong with those as subjects of course!) But objects I find interesting. This is a manual drill that belonged to my late father-in-law, who could make or repair anything.

Keep Out
I have walked past this private club near the St. George subway station hundreds of times. I have been inside once (for a wedding reception). To me, this location positively screams “Keep Out!”

The Inevitability of Failure
I assume that at some point this was someone’s family business, into which was poured sweat and tears, but is now just another derelict building, a blank canvas for graffiti.
