Porter Painting
Aircraft streak through Toronto’s night sky in a three-hour combined exposure. It certainly looks like there’s been a marked increase in air traffic since this similar image taken back in March.
Pier Sunrise
The Centre Island pier stands in stark silhouette against the colours of a predawn October sky.
No Access
Signs and trees lie entombed in ice at the end of the boardwalk after a wicked winter storm in 2004.
Don’t Fall In
Lifesaving gear on the boardwalk sits useless, encrusted with heavy ice, after a good winter storm in 2004.
Directions
A two-hour stacked exposure turns the late-March Toronto skyline into a fine web of aircraft trails. The Island airport can be seen at the left of the image, glowing with its myriad of takeoffs and landings. Porter Airlines can be seen following their usual east-wind takeoff pattern, from the airport directly to the top-right side […]
Day Ice
Scrubbed clean by high winds, the inner harbour is nothing but black ice all the way to the city.
The Village
Like an arctic Smurf village, Ward’s beach assumes improbable shapes amidst a February cold snap.
End of the Road
The breakwall that defines the eastern gap continues to crumble into the inner harbour. Here a lonely bollard awaits its fate, many of its siblings already lying submerged beneath the icy waters.
1830 to the City
The Ongiara streaks to the city at 6:30 P.M., punching through the January ice in this two-minute exposure.
Willow Sunrise
At winter solstice, the sun rises directly between the main limbs of the Great Willow in the Ward’s soccer field.
Smoke on the Water
A long exposure (somewhere on the order of two minutes) turns the raging whitewater of the outer harbour into mist on a stormy fall night in 2009.
Arrowhead Trails
A four-hour exposure over Arrowhead lake spins the night sky, ushering in the camping season of 2009.
Mischievous Cloudbank Detail
A detail of this panorama, of a spontaneous cloud that formed over the inner harbour then broke off to drift over the Toronto skyline.
