Around 7 am in the Distillery District here in Toronto. Very few people about. Just how I like it these days! 🙂

Early Morning Isolation
I tend to use the clock to manage social distancing. It was very quiet in Kew Gardens around 7:30 this morning.

The Walkway
An interesting walkway near the Coxwell subway station in Toronto. I walked over early this morning, when I knew it would be deserted.

City Hall
It’s always a good exercise to try to find a different perspective on a subject that’s been done to death. Not sure if I succeeded.

Arches at Nathan Phillips Square
I’ve always been drawn to these arches.

The Siren Call of Ultrawide
A few years ago I traded away a Voigtlander 15mm/f4.5 Superwide Heliar as part of a deal. It was a good trade, but I recently felt a pining for that super wide focal length, so I bought a newer version of the lens (M-mount vs LTM, and it takes filters). I tried it out for the first time last Saturday at High Park, Toronto.

Portrait By the Window
I took this portrait recently with my 1945-50 vintage Voiglander Bessa 66 folding medium format camera. There were a number of reasons why this image should not have turned out: this is a scale focus camera (meaning you have to judge the distance), and I was shooting wide open; no margin for error. I was also pushing HP5+ to EI 1600 for the first time. But what I got was one of my favourite portraits of the year!
