Reflections From the ROM

· Leave a comment ·

The ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) in Toronto has an addition that has been controversial since the day the design was announced years ago; I was in the neighbourhood recently and saw some interesting reflections in the addition.

Memory

I took this image on a recent walk downtown, and I don’t remember the location. There are days my memory (or lack thereof) just scares me …

The Beaches Through a Red Filter

Yes, I love the look of skies darkened by a red filter. To me it seems like a sense of stark drama is created, a hidden eeriness is revealed. These four images are from a recent trip down to The Beaches.

Portrait in the Stone Lion Pub

The Hasselblad does not have a reputation as a great camera for available light shooting, and this portrait shot indoors on Ilford XP2 film is not technically perfect, but I like the expression.

Starved for Colour

This image is from a few weeks ago when Winter seemed unwilling to loosen its hold. Some days you have to take colour from wherever you can find it.
