A little press for the lazy photographer

Well this was a nice surprise. A week or so back I’d printed and framed an image I made and then gave it to the restaurant I was shooting. They were delighted by the unexpected gift. I then shared the image and my little story on Facebook, only to be contacted by a city-centric media outlet who wanted to do a write up about it. A few minutes of fame never hurt, right?

Anyway, if you wish to read the story from BlogTO, just click here.

In other news, I’ve now started posting colour street photography to Instagram, so be sure to give my IG feed a peek, and follow me, if you like.

Winter in Toronto

Toronto Snowmageddon

We had an epic snowstorm here in Toronto last Monday. Made quite the mess of the city. We even closed an important highway for the day. Our public transit system crashed, with buses stuck or broken down everywhere and streetcars unable to get past poorly parked cars. But it was a good day to get out shooting. I never feel I have enough snowstorm shots and always look forward to any opportunity to grow my archive of them.

On another note, my new year’s resolution is to start adding colour photos to my Instagram feed, which I’ve always dedicated to b/w street shots only. Not sure if this is a good move but we’ll see how the response is.

Hope y’all have a great year ahead. Looks like this will be the year we see an end to the pandemic. Fingers crossed.

Toronto at dusk

Happy New Year, everyone… Hope y’all had a wonderful holiday break. Here in Toronto, thanks to the Omicron variant, we go back into lockdown again tomorrow for a couple of weeks. Oh well, what’cha gonna do, right?

My holiday was pretty quiet but I did get out to make some images. Hope you like them.

If you prefer b/w street photography, be sure to check me out on Instagram. Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking of posting colour work to IGF instead of exclusively black & white. What do you think? Or should I stick to one platform for b/w and one for colour?

Colourful Toronto, Canada

Here are a few more of my colour street photography shots. That first one I captured yesterday at the Art Gallery of Ontario (aka AGO) during a visit. I think it’ll make my colour street photography book, if I ever get around to making it.

Autumn in downtown Toronto

Here are some recent shots made over the past couple of weeks. Hope you like them.

My street photography presentation went very well, especially the second one. I deleted 50 slides for that one, to give me more talking time. At the end I got some very savvy questions, which was good. Hopefully next spring I’ll be able to launch some street photography workshops here in Toronto and use the slide show presentation as part of them.

If you prefer b/w street photography, feel free to check out my Instagram page, where I post all my b/w work.

Street Photography Workshop

Only a few hours until I present my street photography presentation to the University of Toronto’s Hart House Camera Club tonight! Should be a lot of fun. Can’t wait…
