Black and white photograph of street art painted on a dark plywood panel set into a textured stucco wall. The piece features a stylized, abstract face or creature rendered in flowing white spray-paint lines against the black background — with swirling tendrils, exaggerated lips or a grinning mouth, and an eye visible among the organic, almost tentacle-like curves. The number '4' is tagged in the upper left corner, and the artist's signature reading 'BRTINOUL' (or similar) is sprayed along the bottom edge. The overall feel is fluid and surreal, somewhere between graffiti wildstyle and illustrative character work.

Also on Wallace St. I think this is a Pizza Pizza now.

A matte black Chevrolet G20 van parked on a street in front of a gray industrial building. The van has a menacing, murdered-out look with black-painted body panels, chrome slot-mag wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires, a chrome perforated side-step running board, dual antennas, a roof rack, and a small white sticker on the rear window. A boarded-up section with graffiti is visible on the building behind it.

This was outside an old office space I was renting on Wallace St. which I always get mentally mixed up with Wallace Ave. in Toronto.

Toronto, somewhere near King St. West I believe. Could also be off, but this feels like it was central east.

night-time, eye-level shot captures a brick building at an alleyway corner, heavily covered in colorful graffiti. Key Elements • The Building: A multi-story structure made of light-colored, tan bricks. The corner of the building is in the foreground, with one side receding into a dark, wet alleyway on the left. Several dark, rectangular windows are visible on the upper floors. • Graffiti: The lower half of the building's walls is covered in various styles of street art: • Large, rounded "bubble" letters in silver and black outline dominate the foreground. • To the left, more intricate tags include the word "BOOKS" in bold black letters and a teal and red piece. • On the right, a recessed doorway or window is covered in vibrant yellow and green "throw-ups" (quick, large-scale graffiti) and smaller white tags. • Signage: A small white rectangular sign on the brick wall near the corner reads "23 ST. ANDREW" in black capital letters. • Ground and Lighting: The ground is dark, wet asphalt with several puddles reflecting the dim ambient light. A warm, yellowish light glows from inside the recessed area on the right, contrasting with the cool, dark tones of the alley. • Details: A small white utility pipe with a meter is visible at the base of the corner. The overall atmosphere is gritty and urban.

Not photography related. Picked up a Farley Mowat book to read. Haven't read it, but I'm assuming it's great #canadian literature from author creds alone.

Dooo eeet! It's interesting to see how these pictures have aged over time so I love seeing pics of Toronto from even a few years back.

Corporate Greed (still) Sucks! #toronto, #protest, #blackandwhite, #urbanphotography -- I think this was a Toronto variant of the #occupy protests. A more hopeful time.

I have to take more shots with this camera, it's just too fun and I don't use it enough. Toronto in 2012 likely. This is probably King St. again but I could be wrong #blackandwhite #monochrome #grainy #lowfi

Another one out of the Harinezumi. On paper a terrible camera, but it truly has some sort of character to it I can't describe.
