chairs and a table
two chairs and a table. how nice.
places
same place different time
ive posted quite a few images of this place. i take it from the same spot at the edge of a dock, i focus on the sun in the same location. the only thing that changes is time. looking back at all these photos in the summer and their wonderful sunsets and colour makes me so excited for t-shirt weather…
in the sunset
i remember shooting this almost 3 years ago with my sony f828. and i remember trying to light the reeds with my little on-board flash like i see in all the magazines. i have about 10 shots with the flash just lighting the front few feet before i got the clue i couldn’t achieve their effect without big lighting equipment.i still like this shot, even though it was shot in JPG so it was tough to properly level it.
infrared: in the reeds
heres a shot i took in infrared in temagami. it is motion blur of reeds as I was moving through them in a canoe.
gr vs. jp
this one is in relation to a post 3-4 days ago about a presentation i did on www.georgesrousse.com. I was asked to emulate his style, so here was another version i did at TEL at york university in toronto.
tel early hours
just fooling around with some split toning in the raw settings. shot at tel on york university, around 3am with a tripod.
would rousse be proud?
yesterday i had to do a presentation of my research on a photographer. i chose george rousse. this guy is a master of tricking the eye, with awesome perspectives and creating shapes. I had to emulate his style in a photograph. so here it is. the shapes are done in photoshop while rousse would paint perspective shapes to get the same effect but in a much more genuine and cool way. honestly, his work is so sick…www.georgesrousse.com

some students walking.
a work in progress
here is an inside section of the brickworks being rebuilt by evergree(d)n trying to turn this place into a exhibition space of some sort.
at the foot of rockway
this shot originally sat in my rejected bin…it was taken at the foot of the large rockway falls during the winter. i posted some photos of it earlier. i didn’t like the photo at first because it was wayyy too misty from the falls to clearly see anything. i was able to save a lot of the detail though with some quick processing. so here’s a tree frozen by the mist at the foot of rockway falls in southern ontaril.
valley valley
Valley tower at the abandoned brickworks in toronto. Again, a huge shout out to my friend Braeden Vanrooy for lending me his sigma 10-22, for which this shot was taken with. Check his site out.
more from brickworks
another shot from my outing to brickworks. shot taken with braeden’s sigma 10-22. Check his site out.
wideangle fun
heres a picture of Kara enjoying her blackberry, just before we went out to shoot. Just having some fun with a sigma 10-22 wide-angle lens. A huge shout out to my friend Braeden Vanrooy for lending me his sigma 10-22, for which this shot was taken with. Check his site out.
outside of brickworks
two days ago, my friend Kara and I went photographing around Brickworks and the Don Valley Parkway in toronto. It was getting dark and cold so we didn’t get a chance to venture inside the closed factories but maybe next time. A huge shout out to my friend Braeden Vanrooy for lending me his sigma 10-22, for which this shot was taken with. Check his site out.
checking cellphones, losing time
just another shot on the york campus
wasteland
i’m not even sure where this was, but it was way out in the middle of a field, complete mud and dead trees…so photogenic…not.
have faith in me
this is only a screencap of a video i made for class. it’s a short video and we had to make a story around an object that had personal value to us.
let me know what you think!
monologue:
i gave everything i have, everything i ever had.
success comes with a price, and i won the lottery.
dreams come true…if only i slept more often.
like a son watching his father, i studied my idols
and i did the same things they once had. confidence
comes with the abandonment of fear.
success comes with a price…things you can’t buy back.
i can’t find my way out, and the sound of silence is deafening.
does this make me a man? will my father finally be proud of me?
maybe now he won’t forget.
this is what i have, all that i have left.
and i pray it won’t be fleeting away as quickly as it came.
i wish i could freeze time.

dead fields
this is my first try with infrared on my new camera, and i must say it is a lot harder than my sony f828. each shot i had to manually focus, then add my hoya r72 infrared filter to the lens of my camera on a tripod, then expose for about 25 seconds. winter isn’t a very good time for infrared because of the lack of nice vegetation but i thought i’d experiment anyways.
into the icy water
this one relates to the last shot. i thought i’d document mikes shots from a differernt perspective. somehow he climbed down into the foot of the falls and then with hip-weights, got right into the stream to take some photos. i’m sure he’ll have some up on his website eventually www.msicoli.com.
sun, mist, water, ice
just behind those branches is a huge waterfall that lead into several other large falls. mike and i discovered it last friday on the way to st. catharines. i can’t remember the name, rockwell or rockway? we climbed down the cliff to get closer to the heart of action.
scouts canada camp boundry
i really like that sign…just plain helvetica with nice graffiti on it, ha!
just stop
a stop sign outside a garage on a side street out in the country…ps happy vday to everyone…
sunset walk
here is a man walking down a snow-coated path on the outskirts of york university during sunset around 5pm. on a special note, I am happy to say that this is the 100th consecutive image i’ve posted to this blog. I’ve learned a great deal my first 100 images, i can’t wait to see what the next 100 bring.
life again
practicing photographing more public life, so i figured i’d take some shots of the mass amount of traffic through vari hall at york university. this hall is full with students all through the day. now only if i had a telephoto lens to get some great closeups!
no more empty halls
this is a shot i took before the strike ended where wandering students were at a minimum. today is the fourth day back at class at York University and it is packed everywhere now…there is life again.
