Brinks

Posted on December 30, 2019 by The Lazy Photographer

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 →

Nike Airs

Posted on June 27, 2019 by The Lazy Photographer

When I approached this homeless guy he was sound asleep outside a derelict storefront. At first I thought to shoot the whole scene, which would offer up more of a story. Instead, I shot only his shoes and lower legs, … Continue reading →

Puppet

Posted on May 2, 2019 by The Lazy Photographer

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 →

Change is good

Posted on December 27, 2018 by The Lazy Photographer

I was watching another photographer shoot this homeless guy. The photographer took his shots from quite a distance and also from behind. Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m tired of the staggering number of street photographs of people from behind … Continue reading →

Change please

Posted on September 3, 2018 by The Lazy Photographer

I shot this kitty corner to Dundas Square a couple of weeks back. I don’t often post homeless/street people, but in this case I was drawn to the guy’s hat and the nice light. After an initial edit in Lightroom … Continue reading →

Street Portraiture

Posted on April 2, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I shot this portrait a few weeks back during an outing downtown. I processed it the day I shot it, but this is a re-processed version using Silver Efex Pro 2. That’s a plug-in for Lightroom that gives you more … Continue reading →

No place to nap

Posted on March 9, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

This woman had set up shop on this park bench. It wasn’t that cold out if you were dressed for it, but if you were trying to sleep on a bench it must have been freezing. I shot this with … Continue reading →

I better write my name on my cup

Posted on February 21, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

When I saw this guy I knew right away there was a shot there. My fear was he’d notice my camera and react to it. But since he seemed enthralled with writing something on that Timmy’s coffee cup I figured … Continue reading →
