A sunny, early spring day, snow still on the ground. A man sits in on the bench in the park, just right of centre. He is smoking a cigarette and looking at something out of frame. There are parked cars along the street behind him.

On the outdoor platform, two streetcars can be seen through the column supporting the outdoor roof. They are waiting to depart. The driver of the second leans against the vehicle. Further in the distance, riders stand on the platform, some in sun, some in shade.

Extreme close up of a utility pole, its surface peppered with old, rusted staples. Hanging on it is a torn poster and plastic holder. All that is visible on the scrap is “How D…”

The angular, concrete open roof spans the upper left and centre of the image, its round pillars mostly in sunlight. Underneath the pillars and roof, several people walk toward and away from the camera against the backdrop of downtown buildings. In the lower right corner stands a man in profile, looking intently down at his phone. The sun casts his shadow along the paved surface of the park.

Under the canopy of the entrance to the subway, food couriers congregate, waiting for their next delivery. At left, two are in conversation, one astride his moped, the other leaning against his. At right, one stares down at his phone beside a jumble of three parked mopeds with one rider sitting on his. They are shadowed by the overhang above, except for bright sunlight of the square that can been beyond the shade.

From the concourse outside the platform at TMU Station, we see the subway train beyond the turnstiles. Passengers move on the platform to catch the train. At right, outside the ticket booth, a TTC employee leans against a stool in profile. The camera has caught her in mid yawn. A sign above reads “Please Move Down the Platform. 1 Finch.”

Most of the stores are brightly lit by spring sunshine, but there is a pocket of deep shadow on the road and the stores at extreme right, caused by the buildings on the other side of the street. At right, pedestrians walk out of frame. At left, a cyclist speeds toward the edge of the frame with a transit shelter in the background.

You have a closet.” Next door, a young man leans against the wall beside Queen Street Books. Further in the distance, in the shadows of buildings across the street, people approach.

Looking from inside a transit shelter. The end glass panel has been broken, leaving an empty space crossed by caution tape. Framed in the opening is an older man talking on his cell phone. Around him are the vestiges of winter snow and still bare trees. At the far right of the frame, we see a streetcar at the stop, seen through the glass of the shelter and the reflections on it.

A helmet hangs from the handlebars and there a restaurant patio is in the background.

Beyond, a beared man in a hat walks toward the camera holding hands with a small child. Behind them, immersed in the shadow of a tall leafy tree, more pedestrians walk. In the background, we see the back end of a streetcar stopped at the corner with a car stopped behind it.
