Whitney Block #2

The Whitney Block Building in Toronto has an endless supply of beautiful angles and views. This photograph was taken at the side of the building showing a glass enclosure which I believe is part of the transit system.

The Rebel

Reflections Series #4

A photograph I took earlier this summer which will be the 4th print available in the "Reflections" series. This image will be posted on www.BlackandWhitePhotography.ca soon.

Morning Ride

A new series I will be working on during the winter months which is yet untitled will be a somewhat abstract body of work. More to come.

The Canadian Bank Of Commerce

St Lawrence Hall

Lillian H. Smith Branch

This Toronto Public Library branch has a unique arched face with Griffons on either side of the entrance. This branch has been dedicated to Lillian H. Smith.

Convacation Hall

The University of Toronto is known for it's architecture and beautiful grounds. I have photographed several buildings at U of T and enjoy the atmosphere on the various campuses. The above photograph is of Convocation Hall.

Also, just a reminder that I have an exhibit coming up in Aurora Ontario at the Skylight Gallery. The exhibit will run during the month of December 2009 and I anticipate having 30 prints on display. There will be a reception on Friday night Dec 4th from 7pm to 9pm. For details visit the exhibits page on www.BlackandWhitePhotography.ca

I look forward to meeting viewers of this site at the reception. -AB-

Whitney Block Building

I was shooting today in the Queens Park area and was questioned by two very nice OPP officers who were monitoring the government buildings for security reasons I assume. I gave them my card after talking to them briefly so on the off chance that the officers come to this blog...this is what I was doing. Nice meeting you. This image called "Whitney Block Doors" will be available in sizes up to 20x30.

Princess Margaret Hospital

The Gardiner Museum

The Gardiner Museum is located on Queen's Park just south of Bloor. The cube shaped front of this building has always grabbed my attention.

79 Yonge Street

Air Canada Center Wall

Light plays a big roll in photography. In this image the shelter of the Gardiner Expressway created the cascade effect on the south side of the Air Canada Center. The image was shot from the Lake Shore Blvd between the traffic light changes.

Pavilion Stairs

Christopher Hume of The Toronto Star wrote an excellent column in the paper Sunday called "The Lost City". He describes some of the historic buildings that the public have limited access to and how the history can be lost by such actions. The Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion was one of the buildings mentioned in the article. I had taken several photographs of this building years ago, all of which were lost when my PC died (a painful lesson in the digital age). The column prompted me to revisit this wonderful facility and take some shots. Above is and image of the stairs leading to the lower level and I will return for more shooting in the future and capture the outside when it's not raining. I don't have permission to post a link here so visit http://www.thestar.com and you will find Christopher's column.

Bank of Montreal

Pillars and columns fill the city with the sense of power and age. Banks are best suited to this show of strength or perhaps they were.

Graphic Arts Building

The Graphic Arts Building is one of the many hidden treasurers within Toronto.

Street Crossing

Sometimes we need percpective to see our place in this world. "Street Crossing" is a new image which will be posted on www.blackandwhitephotography.ca soon.

York Region Building

I have looked at this building in Newmarket many times trying to figure out a creative composition. I've always liked the curves in it's design which to me look like ribbon candy.

Toronto Harbor Commission Building

The Toronto Harbor Commission Building is quite close to the Gardiner Expressway. I had to walk up the off ramp to get this angle. Probably not the brightest thing to do but necessary to get the shot.
