Project 365 Day 23: The View
A stroll through downtown Hamilton.
Project 365 Day 22: Niagara Falls
Spent the day at Niagara Falls so decided it would be a good addition to the 365 Project. Wanted to do something different.
Project 365 Day 21: Fenced In
Driving back from Collingwood, stopped off at The Olde Stanton Store in Mansfield and wandered around to see what sort of beautiful shots I could find. This one of a traditional Canadian country house fence just stands out to me – it’s interesting to see how resourceful people were in the past, and how beautifully they pulled it off.
Project 365 Day 20: Let It Burn
Just at the centre of the Blue Mountain village, a fire pit illuminates hearts and smiles.
Project 365 Day 19: You Looking At Me?
Trudeau, one of my friend’s charismatic puggle, has joined us up in Collingwood for the weekend.
Project 365 Day 18: Collingwood Terminals Limited
Up in Collingwood for the next few days, searching for the Canadian winters, and seems like we found it! Snow and wind leads to a moody shot of the old mills at the port.
Project 365 Day 17: No Parking
Being in Europe for the last 7 years, I forgot how popular seat scooters are here in North America. This specific one, about 60 cm wide, not only is gigantic but is clearly parked under the No Parking sign. I like the composition of the lady on the phone and this scooter, a transportation vehicle out of convenience and not necessity, parked illegally at Giant Tiger on Cannon and Hughson Streets.
Project 365 Day 16: Hammer City Records
I had read about Hammer City Records a year or so ago, so I was quite excited to come back to Hamilton and check it out. It’s a fantastic store, run by three people, Bret being one of them. I went in looking for a Joy Division record, but ended up finding a Warsaw bootleg that is fantastic. The experience is fantastic, listening and chit chatting, even with a Pabst to go quench my thirst. This is a must see, just off of James Street North on Robert Street. They even silk screen their own paper shopping bags!
Project 365 Day 15: Expresso Time
Really like the composition of this shot. This gentleman was really nice and cute – kind of reminds of me of Martin Scorcese.
Project 365 Day 14: Waterfall Love
Meet my lovely parents! Taking advantage of the mild couple of days right now in Hamilton, we headed up to Ancaster and did a waterfall hop, with a mandatory stop at Canterbury Hills. Back when I was doing weddings, this was a very popular destination for engagement shoots.
