Complicated

I love complicated trees; they have so many stories to tell.

Flowers on a Bike

There are a few of these bicycle/flower combos on Queen Street in the Beaches: an ad for a local business. In colour they are a cheery yellow, but I like the look of black and white on a cloudy day.

Layers of Solitude

I was out a few days ago with my Kodak Medalist I camera in nearby Taylor Creek Park, shooting one of my favourite bridges. I noticed in the distance a woman wearing the hijab out walking, and suddenly to my eyes the scene was no longer about the bridge but about solitude and anonymity.

Another Three Portraits of Jennifer

Today another three portraits if my good friend and frequent collaborator Jennifer. This shoot was a experiment on two fronts: it was the first time I tried shooting a hand-held portrait with my 4×5 Speed Graphic and 127mm/4.7 Kodak Ektar lens, and it was the first time I tried shooting some Fuji NC 160 4×5 colour sheet film I’ve had for a while.
