An almost empty subway car, the perspective leading from left to right. There are only two passengers, one at each edge of the image. The man at left sits with his back to the camera. The woman in the far right background is in profile, head down, and framed in one of the clear plastic dividers that section off the seats.

On the outdoor streetcar and bus platform. Bottom right, in close up, are the bins in front of the glass walls of the shelter. In the background, framed by the vertical pillars holding up the roof, a driver stands outside a parked streetcar that stretches from left to centre.

A small, horizontal window in the station wall. Beyond, we see the legs of people standing or walking by. On the ledge of the window is a presumably empty bottle of Canadian Club whiskey.

Outside the entrance to TMU Station. A heavy, round, concrete pillar runs top left to bottom left. To the right, two bearded food couriers look down at their phones, partially in shade. At right of the image, a man in bright sunlight walks toward the right edge of the frame.

Through the open doors of a subway car at the station, we see a woman, casually leaning against a pillar. Behind her, a section of tile has been removed, revealing bare, rust stained metal. Signage on the wall announces that it is St. George Station on line 2.

Bright spring sunlight on the sidewalk outside Queen Books. The windows recede to a vanishing point at right, along with the street and buildings. Just beyond the store, a man in a parka stands in a patch of shadow cast by the buildings across the street.

A sunny spring day. At far left is the St. John’s Bakery. There is a small, faded mural on the side of the building facing the camera. Two people stand outside it, having a conversation. Beside the store are row houses, a man coming down the steps of one. Signs in front of the house read “Snow Route” and “No Passing Here to Crossing.” At the base of the pole holding the signs are there remnants of winter snow.

An informal group of food couriers wait for their next order just outside the entry to the subway. They converse or look at their phones. Most of the area is shaded by the overhang above, while the lower right corner is in bright sunlight. Behind them in the background, a Dundas streetcar fills the street, waiting at the stop for the light to change.

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.”

Looking across the street at a stretch of Queen East. 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.

The stores of Queen Street East recede to a perspective point, left to right. It is a bright, sunny day. At far left, a standing sign outside a clothing store reads “We have cute clothes. 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.
