Mystic Garden

One of the things that I find makes photography special and resonant for me is the way that it treats “ordinary moments” as potentially extraordinary. The things that make a life beautiful are cobbled together from those moments.

On a day where the weather felt underwhelming and overcast i decided to travel up to the Toronto Botanical Gardens and see if anything would come of it. What I got in return was clear skies and a gorgeous golden hour, captured below.

Fleur de Villes

I spent the weekend in Banff for a wedding but a couple days before I met up with a friend who was in the city for the summer and we went to Fleur de Villes in Yorkville. The floral designs were incredibly intricate. I have been interested in floral art since I discovered the work of Doan Ly. Maybe one day soon I’ll buy some florals and make an image. Overall a fun evening and would recommend if it comes to your city.
