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.

Union Station Train Platform
Last week I was able to take a couple of images of the platform at Union Station while waiting for a GO train. At least this time I didn’t get shooed away by security staff.

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.

Two Expressions
Today. two more portraits of my good friend Jennifer, both taken using my Hasselblad 500C/M and 150 Zeiss Sonnar lens on Kodak Portra 400 film. Jennifer is capable of so many great expressions!
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.
Portrait in the Pub
Today a portrait of my friend and fellow podcaster Mike, taken in a pub using my Pentax ME 35mm camera. I haven’t used this camera much recently but got it out for the April episode of the Classic Camera Revival podcast, where Pentax was the topic of the day. The lens was a 50mm/1.7 and I was shooting wide-open on Tri-X film.
Shore Stripes
A large (temporary) pond is making the Beaches an interesting place right now. Planning to go back with a medium format camera later this week!

Toronto in Colour
This image is from the first roll of colour film I’ve developed at home in quite a while. The ice rink at Nathan Phillips Square is long gone, but the water for the summer has not been topped up, so this in-between time made for some great reflections.
