Morning Light

As the days start later and the shadows get longer, I’ve found that the light entering my apartment in the morning casts a wonderful glow on the furniture. Here I’ve captured one image, each day, for the past week at 9am.

When I lived in Midtown I would cross the park where Allan Gardens is located. Due to the lockdown I only saw it from the outside, and when I moved downtown I forgot it existed On a beautiful day I went back and took some pictures. The building is under some construction so it isn’t fully open; still it’s a nice place to spend 30 minutes.

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.
