Greetings from Toronto on this #PortfolioDay!

My name is Blair and I'm a photographer of urban, rural and minimalist subjects with a particular interest in the unappreciated beauty of public transportation.

Transit Toronto @transittoronto.bsky.social · 11h

I stopped by Keelesdale Station and took photos of buses inside of the loop.

The LRT is not opened yet, but the TTC rerouted northbound 41 Keele/941 Keele Rocket trips and eastbound trips on the new 164 Castlefield to stop inside of the loop.

A mid-October punt on Lake Ontairo.

We've had a hell of paddling season this year. I hope to squeeze a few more days on the water before winter sets in

Cassandra Wilson's brilliant Another Country album was recorded in Italy & New Orleans. You can feel it.

Tonight I'll share the title track with guitarist Fabrizio Sotti.
New sounds from Al Muirhead, Eliana Cuevas & Ledisi.

Plus Sarah, Dinah, Matt Dusk & more.

Voice Tracks is on JAZZFM91 at 9.
