is there gas in the car? yes, there’s gas in the car…
This was a fun mini study of light direction on a single subject and the effect on tone and warmth. Same lens, a few seconds apart.
I’ve been shooting a lot of plant growth in word places/in spite of human activity (cracked pavement, felled trees, gutter gardens), perhaps for a collection later on. First I need to work out why I find them so interesting!
Canon AE-1 Program | 50mm f1.8 | Portra 160 probably?
posting this mostly for the sculpture rather than the photo, which I wish did it more justice - I like the tenderness against the all encompassing concrete.
sadly I can’t for the life of me remember where this sculpture is or what it’s on! it’s somewhere in toronto, maybe near Bloor/Yonge. i feel like maybe it was a union related building? but for all I know (and perhaps in all likelihood) it’s on a bank.
Looking back through some old photos from early-mid 2020. I lived in downtown-ish Toronto at the time, this photo reflects how sterile yet hostile the city felt in early Covid.
(probably also reflected in the choice to shoot only black and white buildings and grey skies in the middle of spring..)
