Infrastructure and the soul…

OK, I wasn’t going to post this picture, or write it up; but it’s been haunting me and so I have to place it somewhere.  I decided to take the shot because it caught my eye while I was looking for boxes in the box room/gallery.  My son stores his canvases in my “box” room at […]

Of focus, frames and overrides….

OK this is an odd photo. I was up early again and it was dark, so I was looking for something to shoot – with my camera, that is. My house is old and a little quirky.  There is a lot that I would change or fix in it; but not my leaded glass windows.

The Light Fantastic

I was up at about 6am today and it was dark, so I could wait for the sun to come up and see what interesting light photos appeared. I knit for a bit – some do yoga, some knit, some do both (over achievers). Well the sun came up (good thing) and I just hung

Morning Light

These photo challenges have definitely forced me to look at “things” in a different way. For example this morning I was thinking about “the picture” and where I would go to take it, when I realized that there were some interesting light patterns on the walls and the appliances in the kitchen.

It’s no bull – signs work

First I must apologise to any readers who may be vegetarian.  This photo is part of my photo a day challenge.  It’s a neon sign over a butcher’s stall in the St Lawrence Market in Toronto. I took the picture, because to me it “screamed” raw, red meat, as in BBQ’d steak perhaps. For meat lovers especially

Smoke and Mirrors

I wasn’t thinking of writing this photo up – but the more I look at it, the more I see some interesting relationships. It has an other worldliness about it and for people who would like to make their products, services and /or themselves out of this world, here is my take. 1. The photo was

Lacey Light

I am still taking pictures in the photo a day challenge. I actually got up my nerve to post this one to the Globe and Mail’s website.  They set challenges every week and people from all over the world take pictures – all over the world.  Here is the one I posted for the challenge

Table Talk

Here’s another photo in the photo a day challenge. I took this at The Brickworks – a reclaimed city dump that’s been turned into an environmental centre.  I was actually there to take pictures of water lilies in the ponds.  It’s so much better to have water filtering through ponds and reeds rather that chunks
