For a city so close to where I live, I have never spent much time photographing Burlington, Ontario. And that’s even with one of my favourite camera stores in the province located there and some family. Actually, the reason I was in Burlington was for a family Christmas celebration. Taking some time beforehand to visit…
You’d think that with a title like “Upon Avon” I would be doing some portraits for Shakespearian actors. And you would be wrong. However, the town that I was is known rather well for their theater performances of Bard’s work. That town is, of course, Stratford. Stratford and I go way back, as in some…
Hamilton has changed a lot since I first started photographing the city, that was ten years ago with a Minolta DiMAGE Z2 and a Minolta X-7a. Back when I could visit three or four abandoned buildings right in the downtown before hitting up National Pizza at midnight after a successful trip. Those days are long…
Nope, we’re not at Toronto’s Ripley’s Aquarium, plus I don’t think a 25-Speed film would work well in the space. And while this post will be devoid of lost clownfish on animated adventures, it does have one of my favourite short hikes in my area, and I got to share it with my favourite person,…
Memory is a funny thing. Crieff Hills Community has always been a place of memory for me. I first visited Crieff in 2003 when I helped build an outdoor amphitheater. That same year I joined the executive of the Presbyterian Young People’s Society which held their leadership retreats at Crieff where we would plan out…
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there I’ve chased the shouting wind along,…
Guelph, Ontario. Not a name of a city that you would think of being related to “Royal” but there it is. Guelph’s downtown is a unique one in Ontario as well and one that I’ve been wanted to include in a ’52’ project since the second one I did. But it never materialized so here…
Sometimes your life intersects with History without you even knowing it. But you’re probably wondering why I’m saying this while looking at a subject of “Grand Old House.” Week 40 was shot at Oakville’s Erchless Estate, one of the town’s older buildings and the grand home of the town’s founder, Colonel William Chisholm. Chisholm, a…
I love visiting museums and thankfully there are plenty around the area for me to visit. Or in many cases revisit after many years of not having been there. Black Creek Pioneer Village is one such museum located on the northern border of the city of Toronto. The village, a living history museum is very…
I got inspired by fellow 52-Roller, filmphotographylondon and their Week 29 post “Gotta Have Coffee”. And thought to myself, well I could do something similar in Toronto, Ontario! So here I am at Week 38. I had accompanied Heather into the city as she was attending a conference relating to her job that day. So…
There’s nothing better than after a day of just inclement weather to have a beautiful day to get out and do some shooting! So I took off to one of my favourite spots in Toronto, the Distillery District. After recording some episodes of Classic Camera Revival, and waiting for Heather to be done at a…
The Wild North of Cottage Country, Muskoka. This beautiful part of Ontario isn’t the actual north of our beautiful province and these days you’re more likely to run into homes bigger than most you’d find in Southern Ontario. But you can still get a sense of wilderness. So to end out the summer my Bible…
