Winter Dock
On Saturday I took my Mamiya RZ67 down to the Beaches. It was a very still, very grey day, and sometimes it was hard to see where the water ended and the sky began.

End of Season
According to the calendar, we have a few more days of summer left, but the end of the season is near. I was at the Beaches last night, and the weather was lovely, the atmosphere peaceful, but to me tinged with a wistfulness, an awareness of the passing of time.

The Brighter Side
On the night of the Nice attacks, Janice and I went for a walk on the Boardwalk on the Beaches. I had left my phone at home by mistake and since I use it for a meter the exposure was an estimate but I got it. With so much darkness these days, it was nice to capture some of the brighter side of humanity.

Character On the Beach
There of are photographer friends of mine who are absolutely fearless when it comes to asking strangers if they can take their photograph. I find that very difficult and have to force myself to do it. When I saw this gentlemen near the boardwalk in the Beaches I had to ask if I could take his picture, and the answer was yes. 🙂

Pre-Season
Today i got some E6 (slide) film back that I had shot a few weeks ago at the large Beach Volleyball area at Ashbridges Bay here in Toronto. The scene looked a bit surrealistic to me.

Dealing With the Wires
I love the look of the old firehall in the Beaches, but I have never gotten an image of the entire building that I am completely happy with. If only all those wires were underground!

A Peaceful Demonstration
Recently at the Beaches a peaceful demonstration took place. (Animal Rights I believe).

Portraits of Two Friends
From an outing in the Beaches last Thursday evening, my friends Ori and Sean. Really interesting light there in the evening! Both images taken with Hasselblad 500C/M and 150mm/4 Sonnar lens on Rollei PRX 400 film.
