In Union Station in Toronto this past Saturday morning. Not as busy as during the work week, so the flow of passengers woud ebb and flow, like waves lapping on a shore.
The one constant was the the security guard at the back of the frame.
Our Sunday morning gathering of photographers has had the chance to say hello to documentary film maker Rachel a couple of times has she has stopped in at the Paper Route cafe in East York. And the light was beautiful when she stopped in this morning.
I was out yesterday morning on Danforth Avenue in the bright sunshine, and saw various things of interest in shop windows. all images taken with my Sony a6100 and an 80mm lens.
Normally ultra-wide lenses and portraiture don’t go all that well together. But if the angle is right the results can be interesting, I think. Because his face is in the middle of the frame and is straight on, there is minimal distortion.
I was working on macro photography this morning, and one of the props I was using was a maple leaf I had preserved from last fall. I was playing around with lighting, and this look made me feel like Canada was alone in a harsh spotlight, facing the adversary that the U.S. under Trump has become.
Yesterday morning I was down at Cherry Beach. A lot of the snow is melting, but the trees are still bare; we still have a wait for spring.
Another image from yesterday morning at the coffee shop, this time my friend Jeff.
This morning as an experiment I tried an ICM (intentional camera movement) portrait of my friend Ori. The exposure was 0.8 seconds and I moved the camera in my hands. I quite like the results!
I love photographing people at the AGO (Art Galley on Ontario)!

I really do like this building in downtown Toronto!
