I particularly like looking for the American flag when I am in the USA, they seem to be more prevalent and found in places other than flag poles - like this store front window.  I do this subconsciously probably due to the American documentary photography (Walker Evans, Robert Frank) I studied, which somehow inclines me to look for 'signifiers' of American life to record.

Found shapes on Water

Snowstorm outside my window

Saint John, New Brunswick - January 2011

The resulting picture looks like a muddy, grainy mess - I had no idea the falling snow would appear like this on film.

A glimpse of Paris in my dreams

Paris, France - May 17, 2011

When I look at this picture I feel as if I drove by this place and caught a fleeting glance, later not remembering if I saw it in a dream or that I was really there...it makes me miss being in Paris.  Note on the composition: I almost didn't take this picture because I couldn't get an interesting shot without it being only a picture of card stands, but when I saw the "M" sign of the Paris metro reflected in the window, I knew I had something to work with.

House on Bathurst St.

Toronto - spring 2009

San Antonio, Texas - February 2010

I think the iron arches of this church entrance and the wheels of the cars together create a cohesive repetition throughout the image.

I took this picture because I liked the way the house looked with the tree in the front.  I was composing it and had to take the photo quickly since I saw someone was walking in front and it seemed like it would be a better overall picture with a pedestrian in it. A few thoughts on the results: I like how the tree in front of the house looks like it is spread flat and glued to the front making it look decorative, and how the tree is situated between the two white basement windows; I like the little balcony on the very top window on the right, I don't think I've seen that before; the pedestrian seems to blend well in the picture - I think I got him in just the right spot, unintentionally getting him in almost the exact opposite distance from the 'do not enter' sign.  Also, to me the house seems much bigger in this photo than when I saw it in person.

Bangkok, Thailand - December 2006

Thailand - December 2006

These photos were taken in 2006, developed sometime in 2009, and were pretty much left sitting in a binder until a few weeks ago when I scanned them.  Now that I take a closer look at these pictures, this Thai botanical garden is highly manicured, perhaps too much so, making them look very strange, even eerie to me.  I can't remember how I felt at the time I took these.  I wonder if this place is flooded today, considering how much of Thailand is flooded at the moment.
