Winter

I couldn't bring myself to title this post "Winter Wonderland", but I did take these photos on a walk today so it would have been appropriate, if not cringe-inducing. It finally snowed in Toronto!

More analog autumn

Some more film shots:

Autumn on film

I finally got around to finishing off a roll of film that's been in my camera since the end of September. I really like how the roll came out (and can now enthusiastically recommend Ektar 100 as an awesome film), so I'll probably post most of the roll in a couple of blog posts! The photos span September to December, so there's a bit of mismatch in this set in terms of colour and whatnot, but I like it. You can watch the seasons change!

Leaves...again!

They're just so pretty. And soon, there won't be any left.

Sarah II

A few more pictures of Sarah, from our Sunday photo shoot! You can find her Model Mayhem profile here :)

Sarah

Today I met up with Sarah in Ramsden Park to take some photos. Sarah and I connected via Model Mayhem (you can find her profile here), and were initially set to do a Halloween-themed photo shoot. Unfortunately, the costume in question suffered some damage in transit, so we just ended up taking some casual autumn-y photos instead! I have lots more photos of Sarah, so you may be seeing her again!

Halloween in Toronto

Ok...technically this is Halloween in Etobicoke, but whatever. Unfortunately, my understanding of how Halloween works doesn't fit with Toronto tradition, and I was out before all of the trick or treaters! Seriously, at 6 pm I expected to see all of the cute costumes on kids too young to carry their own baskets, but there was no one (though I did see one toddler barely old enough to walk wearing a walrus costume when I went out for dinner, so that is something). Luckily for me my efforts weren't totally wasted, as many houses in this particular neighbourhood decorated according to the motto "go big or go home" (yes that cat is about 20 feet tall).

Happy Halloween :)

Happy Halloween!

A collection of portraits

I recently signed up for a membership on a website called Model Mayhem with the hope of gaining some more experience shooting portraits. I've pretty much pushed the friends I already have to their limits in terms of impromptu photo shoots, and I prefer to be behind the camera, so I figured it might be a good way to meet people who actually like to have their pictures taken.


Of course, listing oneself as a "photographer" requires uploading a sample of images from a portfolio. I have a fair number of photos on Flickr, but have never really put any thought into what I would include in a portfolio to best represent my photographic 'style'...if I have one.


So, here is a collection of my favourite portraits (you can see a few more here!):
