I took this image earlier this year on a grey day in the Beaches in Toronto. The lines in the fence reminded me of the COVID disease graphs that have become part of our reality since 2022.
Two more images from my indoor shoot recently.
Let’s face it: the light during winter is often rather dull and drab. Combine that with the need to stay close to home during the pandemic (and my ongoing back problems!) make looking for indoor subjects at home a good idea, so that is what I did yesterday afternoon. I’ll be doing more of this kind of thing this winter!
I don’t often get the chance to photograph children, so I was very happy with how this portrait of a friend’s son turned out. (Posted with permission).

I continue to love the combination of Ultrafine Xtreme 400 film and Pyrocat-HD developer. It really brings out textures.

It is a fun exercise to shoot flowers in black and white, where the colour can’t do the heavy lifting for you.
