Welcome to my annual blog post featuring my favourite colour film photos taken over the past year - the 2023 edition.
I normally publish this much earlier in the year, but some things got in the way. I'm glad I can do so now!

OK, let's jump right in!

Meeting people along my weekly photo walks is always a joy for me. Here are film photos of a few people I met in 2023.
Kathleen Byers
A wonderful crossing guard that I encountered with my kids.

Michael
I met Michael at an Indigenous Music Festival at Yonge & Dundas Square. His dancing brought joy to many who were there.

Madison Shadwell
An artist I met on the Danforth. Click here to see my post about Madison and his art.
Dr. Jeffrey Stevens
I had a friendly chat with Dr. Stevens (Stephens?) about his great shoes and style in general.
Unfortunately I did not get the exact spelling of his name or his contact info so that I could share these photos with him!

Sam, a Beck Taxi driver I met along Jones Avenue.
Sam has a very compelling story of how he came to Canada many years ago. I hope to share it in a future Instagram post.

Paul Collins, a very talented artist I met outside of the Stephen Bulger Gallery while on a photo walk with a Simon Remark.
Click here to see my post which also shows an intriguing surprise double exposure image of Paul.

Happy Couple
In late December my daughter and I were in Nathan Phillips Square and we witnessed an engagement of the above pair. No one around seemed to notice except my daughter and I. I had a good film camera on hand, and offered to take a few photos of the happy couple.
