Shooting with film has remained an enjoyable pursuit since I returned to it in 2017.

Here is my annual post looking back at my favourite black and white film photos of the past year (2022).

Job Well Done

On July 26, 2022 a large portion of the Bloor-Danforth line shut down and everyone had to take shuttle buses. This TTC driver, Esau or Issa (sp?), helped to keep passengers calm during a very stressful situation through his kind, playful, and encouraging messages over the speaker system. I thanked him as we exited the bus and asked if I could take his photo. I shared about his good work and this photo with the TTC. Hopefully he hears about it and receives the photo.
