A lot of standing water at the lawn bowling club in the beaches made for some reflections that caught my eye.

The Back of the Flatiron
The Flatiron building in Toronto (like its younger counterpart in New York) is iconic from the front, but the back in interesting too.

What Was the Story?
From the recent film shooters meet-up in Toronto. Trying to remember why he closed his eyes at that moment.

Advertising
In a little pocket of downtown Toronto. I don’t mind advertising when it is cleverly integrated into a space.

Where the Tree Elf Lives
In Kew Gardens in the Toronto Beaches at the base of one tree is the home of a tree elf. Year after year the home survives.

More (Less?) Minimalism
Another image where I am experimenting with minimalism and empty space.

Horizontal Lines
The recent high water at the Beaches has really caught my eye in terms of lines, especially horizontal. These four images were taken yesterday with my Voigtlander Bessa R2M and 50mm/f2 Heliar lens on Kodak TMax 400 film.
Cursing in the Dark
This image from High Park, Toronto last weekend was taken on Svema Foto 100 film; this film has a great look but its very thing and flexible polyester base makes it among the most challenging to get loaded onto a film reel for developing. Much cursing in the dark resulted.

Experimenting With Minimalism
Back to the flooded chairs at the Beaches in Toronto. I was experimenting with minimalism; to me this photograph is about what isn’t in the image, just as much as what is in the image.

Tree Torsos
To me, these trees that had to be cut down (I think perhaps because of beetles?) look like pieces of old statues one would find among ruins.
