Posted on January 19, 2020 by

Had a pretty good snow storm yesterday. Didn’t get nearly as much of it as they’d predicted but it was still a good ol’ winter blast from mother nature. Made for a good day to get out there with the … Continue reading →

Shot this today outside the Apple Store in Toronto’s Eaton Centre. Played around with the shapes for a while until I came up with this idea. Then I had to wait to get a single person inside the box. In … Continue reading →

The Hand

Posted on January 6, 2020 by

Got in shit from the girl beside me on the bus for taking this shot. She was maybe 21 yrs old and not the subject of this photo. “You should really ask permissions to take people’s photographs, you know.” I … Continue reading →

Brinks

It’s always heartbreaking to see anyone who has run out of options in life and ends up on the street. The juxtaposition of a Brinks truck likely filled with cash parked behind a street person who is simply trying to … Continue reading →

I came across this scene outside The Imperial Pub on Dundas East last night on my way home from shooting the Kensington Market Winter Solstice Parade. Man it was funny. They were having a hoot.

Dave Bottoms’ Guide to Street Photography

Posted on December 10, 2019 by

Puppet

I shot this on Queen St near City Hall late March. If his sign doesn’t encourage people to contribute I don’t know what will. He’s actually an articulate and intelligent gentleman. He doesn’t like using shelters because he’s been robbed … Continue reading →
