I liked the stark morning light on this railing in High Park yesterday morning.

Hamilton Supercrawl 2: Thumbs Up
Another street shot from the Hamilton SuperCrawl. Despite the suboptimal weather people were having fun and enjoying the vibe!

Hamilton Supercrawl 1: Portrait of a Stranger
This past Saturday evening I went with photography friend Leon to the Hamilton Supercrawl Street festival to do some street photography. It was a rainy evening, but people were still having fun. The streets were filled with artists selling their creations, and the artisan below saw my Rolleiflex TLR camera and started asking questions about it, so naturally I took the opportunity to create a portrait of a stranger. The Rolleiflex is the perfect ice-breaker in this situation.

Looking for the Story #2
Back to Niagara On-the-Lake for another street shot; I don’t know what distracted the two kids from looking away from the window into a ice cream parlour …

Looking for the Story
I did a bit of street photography during our recent weekend in Niagara On the Lake, using my Rolleiflex. The best street photography at least hints at an underlying story, and that was my goal with this couple outside one of the theatres. Shot on Ilford HP5 + film.
A New Combo
I’ve recently liked developing Ilford HP5 Plus in Ilford Perceptol developer, for fine grain and nice tonality, but it is an expensive developer. I was very happy therefore to find an equivalent developer, Legacy Pro Mic-X that gives me the same kind of results, for a lot less money! Both these images (shot in Niagara-On-the-Lake using my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 camera) are all from the first roll of HP5 Plus I developed using this developer. I’m sold!
Two Solitudes
To me this image symbolizes how people can live in a city of millions, yet still be alone.

Urban View From Above
Near the Dundas West subway station in Toronto there is an elevated walkway over railway tracks, and some interesting buildings. A gritty part of town.

Another shooter at work
This past Thursday evening I met up with some fellow film photography friends at the Beaches / Ashbridge’s Bay for some evening shooting. We saw this videographer who was setting up a sunset time lapse video.
