Found! Budapest, Hungary
Back in 2003 I visited Hungary, and travelled all over the countryside visiting wineries during one of the worst heat waves in European history. Wow, was it hot. It was also one of the last times I photographed using 35mm film. Back then I only shot for fun. I’ve been reviewing hundreds of images to [...]
Toronto Cityscape at Dusk
Downtown Toronto is starting to look a lot like Times Square in New York, especially at Yonge and Dundas, next to the Eaton Centre. This image of the Toronto skyline, captured just before dusk, with the CN Tower in the background, shows just how busy our downtown core is. Wouldn’t this photograph look great in [...]

Super-excited am I. Yes, I am. Winter is coming.

War and Cheese in Kensington Market

Maybe the grey, wet morning had something to do with it. But still. Walking past a shop with a box full of kid-sized [...]
PhotoSensitive National Exhibitor
Yesterday I had a lovely conversation with PhotoSensitive, who called to let me know that they had selected some of my work to be showcased in their Canada-wide Cancer Connections Exhibit. PhotoSensitive will be turning 20 next year. It was formed to show “how the power of the photograph can bring about social justice in [...]
