A colour photograph of a grey day on a downtown street - new developments squeeze the old as roadwork and construction squeezes cars, buses, and bikes.

Orange sandbags line an orange hazard fence along a subway grate.

Yonge Street under the chill of a early spring rain.

A glass false front covers the facade of a condo tower, on it is etched the outline of the facade of the firehouse that once stood here, better known later as the St. Charles Street Tavern.

The remnants of the St. Charles Tavern clock tower is dwarfed by the condo tower into which it has been incorporated.

A matter of erasure: being an engine house isn’t the cultural significance of this structure. I see no reference to it being an anchor of the LGBTQ+ community or the site of the drag parades that may have evolved into Toronto’s Pride Day.

A person, bundled against the early spring cold, walks past a congregation of traffic pylons huddled on a rain-wet sidewalk.

I will be at Arcadia Gallery, 680 Queens Quay West, for Revisiting Analogue today from 5-8 and I’ll be taking portraits of the willing.

A clear glass bottle sits on a picnic table, a small amount of the caramel brown fluid remaining. The white label proclaims “brio” in green and red printing and graphics, reminiscent of the Italian flag.

A pleasing refresher.

A small evergreen tree stands apart, its needles turn red and dry. Snow covers the grass in the distance before the land ends at the lake.

Shall we gather by the red tree?

A person in a puffy, white winter coat stands on a covered observation deck at the end of a concrete pier, the water is almost entirely covered by a thin layer of ice on which gulls have gathered.

Watching the birds.

Looking down as snow falls over a park next to Toronto Harbour. The distance is hazy.

Winter view.

A selection of shots from the first roll of film I put through my #Pentax17 when I picked it up brand new. I really like the camera. I can't wait to get my shots from Norway back from the developers!
