Lake Effect 2025
Lake Effect is when warm moist air comes off a body of water and mixes with cold dry air above, creating precipitation. It’s also the positive influence the lake has on my mood. Even in “bad” weather, when I’m by the lake I can’t stop smiling. 2025 has been great for ice. I’ve walking to […]
Ice Whispering
2025 has been the year of ice. For a month I’ve been longwalking everyday through High Park to where the Humber River meets the Toronto shore of Lake Ontario. It’s about 5 kilometers from my neighbourhood–The Junction Triangle–to the Humber Bay Arch Bridge. I make the trip through High Park at dawn. Hoping to see […]
After Poetry
In an After Poem the author declares a relationship between their writing and another artist’s work. “After Poetry” acknowledges that reading poetry influences how I make things.

Wandering Summer 2022
Wandering Summer 2022 I carry my camera everywhere I go. I hope someday they make an ultralight version that I can trade my behemoth in for, but I need really big files, so I carry this monster around still. These are my favourite images from Summer 2022 (June-August). The period when I re-discovered reading, realised […]
Book Villa
Book Villa Every weekend when I was young, my brother and I took a bus to visit my grandmother. We did the trip together for a year, and then he had other things to do and I started going alone. Walking from our house to the bus stop on Lakeshore Road in Burlington took twenty […]
Unnatural
Unnatural This vacant lot is one of my favourite natural places in the city. You can see how it looked fifteen years ago on Google Maps Streetview. At that time, this wilderness was an unused parking lot with two small structures on it. There was a shack used as an office, and a maintenance garage. Back in 2007, […]
