Floating hearts

Beaune, France - May 18, 2011

I wandered around the quaint town of Beaune and discovered these quaint heart window shutters - I was happy to be able to record it on film and take it home with me.

The Eiffel Tower



Paris - May 16, 2011

The tower (and Paris for that matter) lived up to its name and dazzled me to no end. I was totally mesmerized and hoped so badly that these photos would come out - I didn't have a tripod and handheld my camera with the widest aperture and slowest shutter speed I could manage.  I am happy with the photos considering I was also on boat on the Seine and had no second chance to shoot from this angle!  I continue to be dazzled and wish to go back to Paris one day.

My view of New City Hall

Toronto, New City Hall - 2001

I label this an old favourite because it is one of the oldest abstraction photographs of mine - and one of the first photographs that revealed to me the magic of photography and how I could record the world in my own way.
