I am still enchanted
by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears,
And through your eyes I can see

Unless mentioned, all images here were taken with my Canon AE-1 camera.
Film types, and alternate cameras used, are indicated below each image.
OK See You
Kodak Colour Film
Canon Sure Shot Look
I was very disappointed to hear the news that one of my favourite shows, Kim's Convenience, will be ending with the current season. This show brought so much joy and laughter and will be dearly missed by so many.
I can't help but mention that one of my images will be on a future episode of the fifth and final season. (Click here to see more about my image being on the final episode). I am so excited and thankful for the opportunity.
My best wishes to each of the Kim's Convenience creators and actors as they move to new projects.

The faded yellow sign drew me in to take this photo. It has since been replaced with a newer one, proving that the best time to take a photo is now!

Carolyn
Kodak Ektar 100
I took this portrait of Carolyn, who has cut my hair for many years now, in June 2020. It was my first haircut in many months.
Carolyn is an artist and a very creative person who I am thankful to know. As with many who have been out of work due to pandemic related closures, it was also a tough go for her. One way that Carolyn made use of her time while away from her profession was by serving those without safe shelter living in a nearby park.

I love all the encouraging messages that I saw on the streets of Toronto over the past year.
