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

Installation at the Beaches #2
Only a few weeks ago, but I feel the only mark of time that matters now is Before and After.

Installations at the Beaches 1
Every year there are a number of art installations at the Toronto Beaches. This is one of two that caught my eye this year.

Testing Derev Pan 100 film
My good friend and fellow podcasting host Alex Luyckx recently gave me a roll of Derev Pan 100 film to try out. It is a surveillance film, and has an interesting look! I shot it at The Beaches earlier this summer.

The Beaches Through a Red Filter
Yes, I love the look of skies darkened by a red filter. To me it seems like a sense of stark drama is created, a hidden eeriness is revealed. These four images are from a recent trip down to The Beaches.

The Filtered View
Last Saturday morning I was back in the Beaches area, near the R.H. Harris plant. I have shot there many times before, but this was the first time I took my new Voigtlander Superwide 15mm lens, and also the first time I shot Eastman Double-X black and white film with a read filter. Really happy with the results in these images!

An Old Friend
I don’t shoot my Mamiya RZ 67 as much as I should; it is heavy, bulky, and does not particularly like cold weather. But it was warm enough recently to take it down to the east end of the Beaches.

Abandoned?
Recently at the Beaches my friend Ori and I saw this child’s tricycle close the water; there were no children nearby, but it did not look like the kind of thing that would be abandoned. The combination of the bright sun, the bright colour and the amazing Agfa Portrait 160 film (frozen from 2004) makes this one of my favourite images so far this year.
