Every year I look back on my favourite film images. 

This post shares some of my favourite black and white film photos made in 2024.

I often meet interesting people while on my photo walks. 

Dr. Kashyap, seen below, was definitely one of the most interesting people I have met.

I hope to write more about him later, but I loved how he passionately called his career "a matter of fate and destiny". I felt the same way about my chance meeting with him!

With old school Toronto venues becoming increasingly rare, I find myself returning to capture ones that are still around...

Sometimes you encounter a photographer so full of energy, you're left amazed! 

That's what happened when, while leading a photo workshop, I encountered James in Kensington Market. Wow, what a personality!

James in the Market - Kodak T-Max 400

James definitely knows how to talk people up and to get them to pose for his two cameras. If you see James, say hi from me! :)

I'll end with something patriotic, seeing as our country is being denigrated by our southern neighbour.

The historic Princes' Gates with a row of Canada flags flying proudly.
