Milano Centrale II
Looking up at the steel canopy which roofs the main hall of Milan’s central train station. Also check out the view along the tracks.
Concrete Grid I
A concrete grid at the side of a building on the University of Toronto Campus. The ducts and spaces visible through this grid made for some pretty interesting compositions.
The Local Dump
I was attracted to the messsy colors and fuzzy textures of this garbage heap near my home. It seems like something that wouldn’t happen in the middle of a big city, but people really do go out of their way to dump their stuff by these tracks.
Hand Crank
An interesting cart parked near the market in Siam Reap, Cambodia. It is propelled via a hand crank, which allows the owner to move around.Most likely he lost his legs from stepping on a a landmine, an all too common occurence in that country.
Broken Spokes
This was the first thing I saw when climbing out of the metro in the Piazza Duomo in in Milan.
Cold Light
A bright, but empty, subway car.The lighting seemed out of character for the usually dim and faded subway system.
Spadina Station
A bucket, mop, and squeegies leaned up against the wall on the far side of the street car tracks.
Road Warrior
Today my brother Thomas arrived in St Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador, completing his 3 month ride across Canada. He was biking for Robbins Ride, a charity that raises funds for breast cancer care and research. This picture is from when I met up with him in North Bay, Ontario.
