ABANDONED BOXCAR, NORTH BAY

Today I took some pictures of an abandoned boxcar. I was very interested in the textures and lines of this rusting old train car.

DOOR, NORTH BAY

It has been quite some time since my last posting. It has been a busy time but now everything is back to normal so I will be posting on a regular basis. This picture is for Joe who was wondering why I did not post any pictures. So enjoy Joe.

HAWKESBURY, ONTARIO

I have not taken many photographs lately because I am busy with some other projects so here is a picture I took in Hawkesbury just a few weeks ago.

FIRST SIGNS OF FALL

The first signs of the coming Fall season are already visible.

CANNA

Photography makes you look around and see various subjects you would otherwise ignore. Yesterday I was waiting for someone and noticed the light shining through the leaves of some cannas. I took some pictures and when I reviewed them on my computer I was surprised by the strong colours. They are not just green but show a variety of hues.

SUMMER SKY, NORTH BAY

I made this image in the old pictorial tradition. Romantic, of course but just enjoy it.

ICECREAM CONE, HAWKESBURY, ONTARIO

I have not posted for quite some time. The reason is that I have been busy with other things like staining the house. Anyway I thought to celebrate Summer with this "statue" of an icecream cone I photographed while passing through Hawkesbury.

RAKE AND BARN, UPPER CANADA VILLAGE

Lately I have been interested in nineteenth and early twentieth century photography. This picture reminded me of some earlier work by Paul Strand. The composition is based on various rectangles of different textures and contrast.The rake just adds a visual contrast to the image.

WATERLILIES, NORTH BAY, ONTARIO

I photographed these lilies in the garden of a former monastery. This monastery has been bought by Nipissing university and will house their new fine arts program.It is a simple image of light and pattern.

DOOR, PERTH, ONTARIO

Today was too hot to do much of anything so I worked on a few pictures I took the last few days. The area around Ottawa is rich with very picturesque towns and village. One of these towns is Perth. The day before yesterday I visited Perth and made a few interesting pictures. This image is quite complex because of the rich textures and shapes. It looks more Mediterranean than Canadian. Maybe thats why I liked it.

PICADILLY CINEMA, WILLIAMSBURG, ONTARIO

again we played tourist today. We went on a day trip to Upeer Canada Village. On the way we came trough the town of Williamsburg. I noticed the old abandoned Picadilly cinema and could of course not resist taking some pictures. This was my favourite image of the several pictures I took.
