WK 31 Taylor
By Jack Johnson
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.

WK 30 Lightning Crashes
By Live
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.

WK 29 No Beginning No End
By Hawksley Workman
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.)

WK 28 Level
By The Raconteurs
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.

WK 27 Morning Yearning
By Ben Harper
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.

WK25 Sabotage
By Beastie Boys
1 pair of found Aviator Shades
+
1 BADASS 70's mustache (and one week of having to live with it)
= Some pretty funny shots.
(Thanks to Tyler B. for steering me away from trying to find a Burt Reynolds theme for this shot.)

WK23 Don't Drink The Water
By Dave Matthews
I'm not entirely happy with how this .jpg turned out. I ended up losing a lot of vivid yellow saturation and overall tone in the conversion, but I still think it's worth posting...

WK22 Fields of Gold
By Sting
I was originally going to title this one Omaha (by Counting Crows), but seeing as I've never actually been to Omaha, I thought twice about assuming this is what it looks like. But it is a much better song, IMHO.

WK21 Curious
By Sandbox
I've included the original uncropped image below. Although I liked how the scale of everything gave context to how small the little girl was, I found the reflections in the windows above her too distracting. I'm much happier with the cropped version, I was still able to frame the picture properly without completely losing the scale.

WK16 Evil Urges
By My Morning Jacket
This song title inspired many concepts, but this was the most PG (not to mention PC) idea that I came up with. It was supposed to be a woman's hand reaching for the lolli, but unfortunately Jess doesn't have Costanza hands. Thanks to our neighbour Jessica for tracking down the antique carriage, which was exactly what I had in mind for this shot. If I find the time tomorrow, I may bring it outside and try a couple variations of this shot in the park. If they come out the way I'm envisioning them, I'll post them here as well.
