Building in Sunlight

I like the look of buildings in bright morning sunlight: angles and edges look especially sharp and defined. This is Metropolitan United Church in downtown Toronto.

RedPath Sugar Refinery

Yesterday morning down around the RedPath Sugar Refinery the light was amazing; a bright, low-angled light applied a stark clarity to everything it touched. I was shooting Rollei Retro 80s film, using a red filter to darken the skies and exaggerate the contrast.

MPP 53: Don’t Be Afraid

This week I have a chat with Toronto Street Photogapher Leon Bonin about his gift for fearlessly approaching strangers to take their photograph.

Some Examples of Leon’s great work:

And a portrait I took of Leon in 2016

I also talk about usability and old habits.
