I'll be Frank with you 🇨🇦 @syncros.bsky.social · Aug 19
For #WorldPhotographyDay I'd like to share my favorite image I've taken this year.

#Toronto harbour froze after weeks of negative temps, I decided to do a photo day on the islands in February. A snowstorm started and the cityscape disappeared, but as I ventured out onto the ice, it revealed itself.
a mother and child, who i do not know, were standing on the frozen lake against the cityscape of Toronto during a snowstorm. I had been waiting for a composition like this to appear, its why I ventured onto the frozen lake. Pic taken Sunday Feb 2 2025.

NBM = National Blend of Models, i.e. a model consensus. 10mm of ice aligned along/west of the upper escarpment isn't great news. This is probably what prompted Environment Canada to boost its Yellow Winter Storm Watch to an Orange Freezing Rail Warning across Wellington/Waterloo. #onwx #ONstorm

Very latest NBM on the progression of the freezing rain from Midnight tonight thru 1AM Thurs. Heed all ECCC alerts and guidance and stay safe. #onwx #onstorm (ice build up in mm)

Deep Freeze at Centre Island Pier.

Infrared photographs.
#toronto #infrared #fullspectrum
heavy lake ice forms on the concrete pontoons holding the pier up, note how they look in infrared, very otherworldly view under the pier of the icicles wide view under the bridge showing the ice shelf buildup, like its some surreal ice planet wide view of the elephant feet on the pier's concrete

Line 5 art installation at Eglinton station

i had no idea Line 5 was so ridiculously deep below Line 1

What they don't tell you about parenting is that when they're young adults they can drop *you* off at the concert. Should I ask to be let off a block away?

New York is cold, but I like where I’m living
#photography
A snow lined narrow street in Manhattan. There’s a bike leaning against a brick wall and green wooden covered bridge crosses over the street. This is Staple St which is two miles from Clinton Street. I don’t live on either street. Leonard Cohen is long dead and his songs live rent free in my head.

We have a few swans here. This sounded like free improv jazz
a whole mess of trumpeter Swans, with some miscellaneous ducks scattered in there, on open water with a snow in the foreground.

A Checkered past

Toronto, Ontario - Nov 2019

Keeping up with my personal theme for a week, another abandoned laneway beauty. A Checker Marathon, once an ubiquitous NYC taxi cab, now a relic rusting idle

She's been here for as long as I can remember. Rusting away into the ether.

Our oldest just said they’re doing a history project on Jean Chrétien because he’s “the inventor of the Shawinigan Handshake and also was prime minister” and I have never been more proud.
