Winners

Shot this back in late May at the height of the pandemic. The reflection from the windows on the office tower across the street bathe this building in beautiful late day sunlight. I often find myself shooting this building when … Continue reading

A dog and his shadow

This one dates back to early September, 2017. I don’t recall where I was but I think it’s from a neighbourhood in Toronto called Cabbagetown. Back then I lived in the suburbs of Scarborough about 20 minutes away by car. … Continue reading

Light & shadow play on Bay St.
