Quiet Queen Street

Posted on June 3, 2020 by

I shot this a month back. Things have picked up a lot since then. The Eaton Centre (our huge downtown mall) still remains closed, mind you, but some retailers have been allowed to reopen under certain strict conditions. Still no … Continue reading →

Patience is important

Posted on May 28, 2020 by

Patience is the cornerstone of good street photography, in my opinion. It’s sort of like fishing. You don’t row out to your favourite fishing spot, cast your line and when you get no bites in the first five minutes, reel … Continue reading →

Do Photos Really Tell Stories?

Posted on May 21, 2020 by

Here’s my latest article for Petapixel Magazine. Simply, I raise the question, do photographs tell stories, and I attempt to make the argument that they do not. At least not single photos. A group of images that make up a … Continue reading →

Anti-Lockdown Protest

Posted on May 17, 2020 by

As part of my Covid19 documentary project I would be remiss not to get some photos of protesters. I shot this at Queens Park (Ontario Parliament building) in Toronto yesterday. Sadly, many of these people are conspiracy theorists, and some … Continue reading →

Coronavirus Playground

Posted on May 16, 2020 by

I’m almost done collecting images for my Covid19 documentary project. I’ll be attending a big protest today at Queens Park. They’re protesting the lockdown and the government for not allow them to catch the virus and die. Joking, they are … Continue reading →

Tall Buildings

Posted on May 11, 2020 by

I’ve actually shot this one before, many years back, but I’d totally forgotten where I was. When I stumbled upon this spot again last Sunday, I couldn’t help but shoot it again. I think it turned out nice. I’m still … Continue reading →

Back Seat Driver…

Posted on May 6, 2020 by

I literally chased this car down the street to get the shot. I can’t imagine how stupid I must have looked to people. But it was worth the effort, I think. Hope you like it.

AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario)

Posted on April 30, 2020 by

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in Toronto. However, because of traffic and parked cars it’s next to impossible to get a clean shot of it. It’s also huge. The glass facade is over twice the length than … Continue reading →
