Pole dance

Again, a picture I took ages ago. I found the subject doing god knows what around that pole, which is rather interesting indeed, and I played with some X-Pan reframing to better serve the Main idea.

Hope

A photo taken a while ago finally gets dug out. I also play with some cyanotype tuning in post-processing. I found this picture to be rather optimistic and joyful, which makes it somewhat an eye candy.

Boy and Birds

I took this street picture in Toronto using my usual style for street photography. I found it interesting because of the motion of the three subjects and the relationship it creates between the boy and the two birds. The relationship that it establishes between the boy and the two birds.
