The Brides’ Ballet: Tell Us Which You Prefer and Win a Fine-Art Print!
Which do you prefer? The colour or black & white treatment of The Brides’ Ballet? I personally can’t decide. I love them both. This image was created just a few weeks ago in the heart of downtown Toronto, Canada. We’re having a contest. Tell me which version you like best and why, by posting a [...]
Conceptual Stock Photography and Managed Rights
Any photographer who produces stock photography knows that the stock world has experienced a massive shift. What was typically a resource of high end images has how shifted to a goulash of mixed quality. One would suppose that may give a new meaning to the expression “The media is the message”? But I digress. Microstock [...]
“Local” – a magazine for the Beaches and Leslieville neighbourhoods of Toronto
Sitting down with a good cup of java while pouring through magazines is one of life’s simple pleasures. Local Magazine is available in the Beaches and Leslieville neighbourhoods of Toronto. Editor Sarah Dann is the brains behind it, and I think it’s great. I contributed one of my Winter Series Beaches neighbourhood images to the [...]

Mahana Bay, Hawaii
ABOVE: Part of my Hawaii trip included a drive and hike to Mahana Bay. It is located just north of the southernmost tip of the United States, Ka Lae (South Point) on the Big Island of Hawai’i. It is a beach full of green sand. In order to get to the beach one must walk [...]

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 [...]
New! Winter Series in the Image Archive
Super-excited am I. Yes, I am. Winter is coming. As much as I grumble about terrible driving conditions, blustery winds, sleet and ice during our Toronto (Canada) winters, I find the coldest season of the year very beautiful. Especially in The Beaches neighbourhood, where yours truly currently resides. For the urbanites out there, there is [...]
Autumn in the Image Archive
Autumn will soon be officially over. Many trees are now bare with their multi-coloured, fallen leaves nestled in the grass below. I enjoy this image which I captured just a few weeks ago. Something about the old-school red and yellow fire hydrant amidst a blanket of yellow leaves does it for me. If you like [...]
