I am out in Calgary again this week, and am shooting some film photography but of course without access to my darkroom it’s hard to post those images just yet, so I am trying to keep the daily posting discipline going with some smartphone/Hipstamatic images, such as today’s image taken outside my Calgary office early on a bright sunny day.
My piano teacher is located not too far away from me in Riverdale: a neighbourhood in Toronto that I find visually fascinating every time I head out for my lessons. I took these images the other evening with the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone.

This caught my eye recently. On one hand it’s a pretty mundane scene but the complexity of the pipes is what I saw.

On Monday night I was shooting my good friend Maria Rozynska as she taught a group class in how to make perogies for her new Just Be Cooking business. I know Maria from musical theatre and we both agreed that leading a class like this is like putting on a performance, and she did a fine job!

There are some great buildings in the Junction area of Toronto. It’s a shame when they get repurposed as Money Marts 😦

On Saturday I paid a return visit to the Junction district in Toronto with my good friend Bill Smith. One spot I really like is the bridge over the railway near Dundas West subway station.

The Royal Ontario Museum is an architectural identity crisis but it does have some nice spots.

I was very happy to see the effect of a yellow filter (meant to adjust contrast and keep blue skies from getting blown out) when using the JCH Streetpan 400 film recently.
