Hard to get the contrast and tone right; hope I’m close. This is a challenging negative.

Musical Lines
I had been planning to post this image of the Edward Johnson building (Faculty of Music, University of Toronto), and while I was getting it ready this morning it struck me that the lines of shadow cast by the railings looked like a musical staff turned on its side.

Bicycle Posts in Winter
I have always found rows of these bicycle posts interesting, and I like how they looked in the snow.

The Stark Sun
This post is a series of images taken in Toronto a couple of weeks back in the mid-late afternoon. I love the sun when it is at a low angle; it imposes a sense of drama on downtown buildings. All images taken with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 on Ilford HP5+ film, developed in LegacyPro MicX developer.
Late Fall Portrait
This past weekend I created some portraits of my friend John Russell in Taylor Creek Park. He noticed some tree trunks had been carved at one end, and so we worked it into some of the images.

More Wreck Beach Stairs
I am still working my way through the film from Vancouver. These are three additional images of the starts leading up from / down to Wreck Beach in Vancouver. All taken with my Hasselblad 500C/M, on HP5+ film, developed in LegacyPro EcoPro Ascorbic Acid developer.
The World of a Child
As I have said before, I don’t often get to create portraits of children, but this past weekend I had the chance to do so with the daughter of a friend in Calgary. My eight year old subject was engaging and enthusiastic, allowing me into her world, and certainly had an interest in the old camera I was using.

Different Light
The last time I had the chance to shoot the Peace Bridge in Calgary it was a grey, drizzly day. Last Sunday morning I lucked out and the low-angled late fall sun made for some great lighting.

The End of a Season
Vancouver in November is definitely off-season. I wouldn’t call the feeling a malaise, just a sense that the party is over.

Skyline
Today’s post is the first in a series of film images taken during my time in Vancouver, B.C. last week. Although it did not rain the entire time, there was not a lot of sun, and for the most part the light was measured in degrees of overcast. This image is from Stanley Park.
