SUMMER SOLSTICE
June felt like it was going by quickly. Weather had been on the cooler side and I wasn’t finding enough time to get out. Something I never want to do is let work consume my life so I was itching to get out and walk by the falls. Then I remembered that June 21 would be the official start of summer and I decided that would be my day. The city was calling so I had to see what was going on, and it did not disappoint. The Falls was alive with people, nature and good vibes! I had so much fun on this photowalk

POCKETS OF LIGHT
For this session I walked around the Hill looking for sun shining between and reflecting off of buildings and then I waited for someone to step in to it. Along the way I met a lady and her dog Maple, who insisted i give Maple treats to get a good angle. It was hard to compete with the noises and smells of the Hill. To cap off the walk I practiced some portraits with Rain

LONG EXPOSURE ON THE HILL
I got creative with the lights on the Hill and tried some long exposure. Colour grading these shots to be more green and orange helped create an abstract style photo that has been inspiring me lately. Light streaks, some blur, bold colours and a simple palette are elements I want to explore more to achieve the look I want, and this was a great session to experiment. At the end of the gallery are some shots of Rain to practice some street portrait photography

PHOTOWALK SEPTEMBER 1 2024
This marks a solid year of more consistent photo walking around the Falls. When I was editing these photos I couldn't help but feel really good about my progress so far. I bought my 2025 parking pass today and I'm patiently waiting to get back out there for this new season. Until then, enjoy this gallery

PHOTOWALK JULY 20, 2024
The ebb and flow of creativity can be difficult. One session you’re up and the next you’re down, and it is a natural pattern but somehow I forget how hard the lows are and how fleeting the highs are. To get me through I keep my thoughts on the positive but still allow myself to feel through the negative. I don’t think it gets easier, but if you love doing something then the journey is worth it

PHOTOWALK JULY 13 2024
For this walk I decided to go straight to the top of the Hill as the sun was setting and it was shining really beautiful golden light through the crowd. On my way back down I went around the Falls by the outdoor theater where I stumbled across some really nice shots of cars and people driving by. People love showing off their rides on the HIll, and surprisingly a lot of dogs too

PHOTOWALK JUNE 30 2024
Finding the right time to go for a photowalk can be a challenge. Life happens and not every day is the same depending on weather conditions. I usually find myself preferring day time walks but sometimes things happen and the sun goes down. Luckily, in a city that never sleeps, there are fun lights everywhere

PHOTOWALK JUNE 24 2024
Second photowalk of Summer 2024 starting off way stronger. It was almost a fail due to the fact that I was only going to bring an Instax Evo Mini and lighting was really low but luckily Rain was using a Sony. He switched with me about half way through and then I started having more fun. Using both cameras really gives a nice gear comparison with a range of quality. I might try the Instax later in much brighter lighting to see if it responds better
