it’s been a while since I last posted here huh ? it’s been a busy time and as usual, the blogs get the short shrift. It was also a rough start to the year when my dad began feeling not so great and that took up most of our free time. I may write about it later but after an up and down three months or so, he passed away after coming down with a lung infection…and he was just starting to get better.
I’m re-prioritizing things in my life and looking at what is truly important and what’s merely distraction. It will be a slow process as I try to find out what I need to be centred and peaceful and what is just ’stuff’. I do know that I will be making an effort to simplify and that material things shouldn’t have that much importance, so I say now…

Sitting around as photos are filed to ftp server. I’m not much for lounging in coffee shops but the wifi is very useful so I can live with it. This was on the Danforth, sun was warm, people were out…

Heading back to the car after an assignment downtown, I came across this great meeting of light and shadow. It was moving quickly but I watched and waited for the right elements to coalesce.
We often forget as photographers what we actually do. We pay sometimes, too much attention on what we see and not enough on what we should see.

There aren’t alot of open spaces left in downtown Toronto such as this parking lot on Queen St. East near Church St.. I imagine it’ll soon become a condo development like all empty spaces this city has. I guess it’s a good thing in that density is focussed in an area where public transit is close and one can walk to many things.
It would be terribly brilliant if TPTB made this into a park, not unlike Bryant Park in Manhattan. This city hasn’t had a leader with vision in a long time, too bad.
For the photoheads, this was shot with a Mamiya 7II and 43 mm lens. Tri X, Rodinal 1:25 for 7 minutes. Scanned on an Epson 2450 with Epson Scan software.

With all the snow we’ve recently suffered, it was time to finally get out and make the most of the stuff. We hadn’t skiied all year so that was out…snowshoes would be it.
We headed out to Mountsberg Conservation Area west of Milton, Ont.. We’d been there before for an agm and also got to see some of the raptors they have there.
Wonderful day, trail was kinda groomed so snowshoes weren’t really needed for parts of it. Cool weather, bright sun and not very many people.
Then it rained the next day….
