On Sunday I had another shoot with Naima, this time outdoors on a decidedly chilly day, in the ravine near Yonge and St. Clair. Naima was a real trooper and did not let the cold get in the way of a great shoot.

I first met Karen a number of years ago, when we both had images in an exhibit of photographs from the G20 incident in Toronto. A talented, resourceful and strong woman, she has a lot of presence in front of the camera!

From a recent walk in the ravine near Yonge/St. Clair. For a black and white shooter, this kind of texture is priceless.

From my steampunk shoot with talented author Rebecca Diem who has just published The Stowaway Debutante, a fun steampunk read. I had the idea for the prop (the world’s oldest camera-phone? 🙂 ) some time ago, and this shoot was the perfect time to use it!

I had the pleasure of working with Sabrina, (the daughter of a theatre friend of mine) on Thursday. As someone with both dance and theatre experience, Sabrina was a natural when it came to posing and expression, and needed next to no instruction.

I had the chance yesterday to meet another local Toronto photographer Edward McLaughlin for a portrait shoot, using my Rolleiflex. It was a very dull day weatherwise, so I shot Tri-X at 800 and developed in in Diafine
Yesterday the model had to cancel at the last minute, the weather was dull and chilly, but I decided to go to High Park and shoot anyway, and I’m glad I did.

Three years ago I worked with Amy Braun as a model, and today I want to congratulate her as a published author! Her urban fantasy story Call From the Grave has just been published on Kindle. I read it last night, and was really impressed (and I have read a lot of Fantasy and Science fiction in my time). I would highly recommend her writing. Well done Amy!
