10 Toronto Street is yet another building that always seems to have a vehicle parked in front of it when I show up to photograph it. To my delight there were none on this visit and the light was ideal for shooting this Toronto landmark.

If you live in or around the Distillery District you will be familiar with the old Canary Restaurant which is no longer there. This photograph which was taken in 2005 is a small reminder of this unique little corner restaurant.

Another black and white photograph of the whole restaurant is in the gallery on www.BlackandwhitePhotography.ca

What’s your favourite sign in Toronto?

This photograph of Roy Thomson Hall will be added to the photo gallery on BlackandWhitePhotography.ca soon

I will be teaching another workshop on architecture photography at Pikto Studio in Toronto April 21st. Pikto is located in the Distillery District.

The above photograph shows the new method of framing I will be using from now on. Most of my prints have been matted with a charcoal mat. I will now be using a double mat, the inner one will be charcoal and the outer mat will be white. I will continue to use the same black wooden frames. It goes without saying that on the actual prints the copyright sign and website do not appear. My signature is below the image in the white space on the right hand side.

This image will be uploaded on www.BlackandWhitePhotography.ca soon.

Construction of Convocation Hall was completed in 1907. Some 105 years later I finally managed to photograph this beautiful building. I have visited this site on many occasions with the intention of shooting this building. There was always a banner of something that caused me to leave it for another day. On this day no obstructions and a balanced sky allowed this photograph to be taken.

This photograph of the Canada Malting Co building or should I say silos is a long exposure of 2.5 minutes. I used the longer exposure to smooth the water in front of the structure. More Toronto architecture pictures can be seen at www.BlackandWhitePhotography.ca

Sometime around 2005 I photographed an abandoned house in Wainfleet Ontario. One of the images was of this window which I called “Haunted Window”. Later that year the PC is was using for my photography work failed and about 80 images that were not backed up (a hard lesson learned) were lost, including the original image of this window. A small jpg was still available and has been on my site www.BlackandWhitePhotography.ca for quite some time. I have received quite a few requests for this print but was unable to offer it to customers as the print file was gone. I recently re-shot the window and can now offer this print to those who are interested. The new print is called “Haunted Window II”.

This image of Roy Thomson Hall is a part of a collection of large images I am working on. This particular scene will be re-shot when the fountains are off. Click on the image to view a larger version.
