I thought this was quite fitting for the final post in my yearlong experiment exploring song titles as photographs... I haven't fully decided whether to continue on with this theme (or maybe a variation of it) in the new year, but I guess I'll have to decide soon enough... Happy New Year!
During my 6 hour expedition to the Airport last week, I came across a giant abandoned Brick factory in York Region and in more than a few spots, there were large holes in the concrete that connected the 6 or 7 large buildings. The odd thing was that underneath the concrete was layer after layer of brick... Almost as if they had built up the land using bricks instead of soil. There may have been tunnels connecting the buildings, but I wasn't in an adventurous enough mood to hop down and find out... Some things are better off left to the imagination.
One camera; iPod set to shuffle; a full tank of Gas; and a 6 hour backroad excursion to the airport... I'm thankful for the resilient Maples that held on to their leaves long enough for me to finally get out for a fall photographic excursion.
This year's harvest has been marred by a combination of cold weather, too much rain, not enough rain and everything in between. Our Peas have suffered visibly as you can see below... Really just an excuse to finally use a Ramones song on the blog.
I went searching for this picture of our god-daughter Taylor taken with a film camera (gasp!) a few years ago for a completely different reason, but once I found it, I couldn't resist posting it here. One of my favourite pictures I've taken.
There was a pretty impressive lightning storm in the Toronto area tonight, so, after a few shots from the front of the house, Jess and I decided to head down to Lake Ontario to get some keepers.
I've wanted to post this picture since I took it a few month's back, but couldn't come up with a song title that really suited it. I've been referring to it as "No Line on the Horizon", but I'll be damned if I'm going to put a U2 song on this blog (Note: Unless it's Angel of Harlem).
We just had this printed on a 20" x 26" canvas and as soon as I saw it, the song above came to me. Its melancholy feel is exactly what I get when I look at this picture.
(Additional note: Jess just pointed out that "No Beginning No End" is actually the name of the very first post on this blog from 2006, how apropos.)
I figure every photographer from Toronto has a few of these typical nighttime skyline shots in his/her portfolio, so I decided to add a few to mine as well. The first image is the one associated with the song and the second is just there to prove to myself that I can take a level picture while laying on my stomach on a pier.
This is a shot I set up to enter into this month's contest at pentaxforums.com (subject: Morning). I won last month's contest (subject: Streets) by 3 votes, and I'm hoping this one does well too.
