Yesterday, along with other members of the Wednesday Photo gang, we went inside the Daniels Building (University of Toronto, School of Architecture). With no students around, there were plenty of very quiet spaces.
I took both images with my Sony a6100 body, and 18mm f/6.3 II 7 Artisans lens.
Given current geopolitical events, so often when I got out with my camera I am looking for distortions, making things look unreal, etc. And when I get home to do the post work I am doing it even more.
Nothing seems normal. Everything feels wrong, like it’s twisting into a dystopian spiral.
This morning I went to the University of Toronto campus, and yet again I feel my images reflect what is looming over us in Canada.
A few days ago I was out on a photo walk with friends at the University of Toronto. It was a cold winter day so we did most of our shooting indoors. Here are the first two images
I was at Hart House at the University of Toronto this morning, and found this long table.
I was in Philosopher’s Walk at the University of Toronto recently with my Hasselblad. Late afternoon is a lovely time to shoot there.

I had been planning to post this image of the Edward Johnson building (Faculty of Music, University of Toronto), and while I was getting it ready this morning it struck me that the lines of shadow cast by the railings looked like a musical staff turned on its side.
