On the way back from Hamilton I had a moment to take this while our GO train pulled into the station. The original negative is square format, but I ended up cropping the final image.

“The Person I Want to Be”
Today’s post is about three photos and two good friends, at this past weekend’s MMPR meetup in Hamilton, Ontario. The first image is Bob Goyetche in mid laugh (and there was a lot of laughing last weekend!). The second and third photos are of my good friend Ken Bole. When Ken saw the second portrait he said “I look like the person I want to be.”
This just might be the nicest comment I’ve ever received for one of my portraits.

The Busker
I have seen this busker on the Boardwalk before.

Character On the Beach
There of are photographer friends of mine who are absolutely fearless when it comes to asking strangers if they can take their photograph. I find that very difficult and have to force myself to do it. When I saw this gentlemen near the boardwalk in the Beaches I had to ask if I could take his picture, and the answer was yes. 🙂

Dupont Station
A bright day on Saturday made for a lot of interesting reflections and distortions on the plexiglass at the entrance to the Dupont subway station in Toronto.

Love of Family
I was recently asked by a friend if I could do some family pictures for her. Her daughter is autistic, and the love and support my friend and her husband give her is undeniable, as is the love their daughter gives them back in return. Neither of these two images were planned poses, and I had to rush to capture the first one (resulting in less than perfect framing).

Expressions
Here are three more images from last week’s Street photography workshop. To me, each expression either tells a story, hints at a story, or leaves you wondering what the story is. All shot with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3, on Rollei RPX400 film.
Four Portraits
Last week I was at a Street Photography workshop. Btu so far my favourite images are not those of strangers on the street, but of fellow photographers. All images taken with Rolleiflex 3.5 E3 (Xenotar lens) on Rollei RPX 400 film.
Dealing With the Wires
I love the look of the old firehall in the Beaches, but I have never gotten an image of the entire building that I am completely happy with. If only all those wires were underground!

A Peaceful Demonstration
Recently at the Beaches a peaceful demonstration took place. (Animal Rights I believe).
