The Flat and the Curved
My first post from 2015, with an image from one of my last rolls of 2014: I saw the ups and downs of the fence, against an eternally flat horizon.

Adventures with Russian Glass
This image was created using my Bessa R 35mm rangefinder and Soviet era Industar 61 L/D 55mm f2.8 lens. Still dialling in the focus.
Banff Springs Hotel
As much as I love the natural splender of Banff, from an architectural point of view, the Banff Springs hotel is quite something. This glass-walled room in particular is incredible!

Words and Images
I found this scene recently and was struck by the ironic contrast between the mural art and the words in the image, especially if one disregards the context of the words. Given recent events in the U.S. the irony becomes bitter.

A Quiet Moment
I don’t often get a chance to photograph children, so it was fun recently to get a few images of the younger son of a good photographer friend of mine. He likes to move around a lot, so the manual focus was a challenge!
A few light leaks on the film 😦

Snow and Wood
This image is from an outing on January 1st, in a valley park in central Toronto. It was quiet and cold. I think I saw one other person while I was there.

Smiling From the Sidelines
Here is another image from the belly dancing in Kensington Market recently. This image is of a dancer Audra of the Dark Side Studio) waiting in wings for her groups turn to perform. I was struck by how the various groups enjoyed each others performances, in a supportive atmosphere.

Old Married Couple
With the ubiquity of cell phones, we are seeing fewer and fewer pay phones; they are increasingly seen as obsolete, and the ones that are still around tend to be in pretty rough shape. These two outside the Bathurst subway station seem different; they are both in decent condition, and seem determined to maintain dignity and a sense of purpose. In a sense, they remind me of an old married couple: not flashy, but dedicated and devoted.
