Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Someone wise shared this idea with my wife and I when we were engaged and it has stuck with me. Having a shared vision and direction for life is a good foundation for a relationship. Whatever your relational status may you enjoy good companionship in your journey - people who encourage you to look up, who broaden your vision, and who travel wit...h you in the highs and the lows of life.

A series of images based on a prompt, or challenge, from the @throughoureyescollective. This prompt was edges. So here is a set I made - all with an edge or line running through them. I’ve tagged each image with @throughoureyescollective to indicate where I see the edge being, in case it isn’t clear. :) Join in and share some images also if you wish! Include the below tags. (BTW all of these were taken with my phone, except for the final image, which was with my Nikon Z6II.) #TOEC #TOEC_prompts #TOEC_Edges #edges #throughoureyescollective #streetsoftoronto #lonelynights #lonelynightsintoronto #cityoftoronto #cityofto #shotoniphone #shotoniphone11pro #torontostreetstyle #torontostreetphotography #culturesnap #culturesnapphotography

Walk the Lines Today my oldest gets her braces removed. In honour of this momentous occasion I am posting a photo I shot near the orthodontist while waiting during a previous appointment. Here’s to today - and to new roads to cross in 2021! #walkthelines #walktheline #crosswalk #torontocrosswalks #cityoftoronto #cityofto #streetsoftoronto #torontostreets #torontostreetphotography #35mmfilm #35mmfilmphotography #analogue #analoguevibes #drivebyfilm #analogphotography #canadianfilmphotographers #northernfilmcollective #torontofilmphotographers #kodak #kodaktmax400 #spicollective #konica #konicaautos3 #bnw #bnwphotography #bnw_greatshots #culturesnap #culturesnapphotography

Silver Lining. Whether you’re an analogue or digital kind of person - keep looking up - there’s one to be found. Both images taken outside of the mighty @theelmocambo on May 7, 2020. Image #1 is Kodak Gold 200 film with my Canon AE-1 and the second with my Nikon D750 (and a wide angle lens). I can’t wait to see live music again at this fantastic Toronto music venue. That’s something I’m looking forward to once we get through this. Stay safe and stay well friends. #silverlining #keeplookingup #elmocambo #undertheneonpalm #keeplivealive #torontomusic #torontomusicscene #musicvenue #kodakgold200 #kodakfilm #35mmfilm #analoguephotography #torontofilmshooters #northernfilmcollective #canadianfilmphotographers #streetsoftoronto #torontostreetphotography #yyz #cityoftoronto #culturesnap #culturesnapphotography

Behaviour A new year and a new start. Anyone launching 2021 with fresh determination to accomplish something new? I’d love to hear about it so please let me know! I’m planning to exhibit a documentary project that I’ve been working on for a few years. I am a bit anxious that it all comes together successfully and does justice to the hard working people whose stories I am trying to tell. Please share your new ventures and dreams below! Photo is of Behaviour, a marketing and ...advertising company, on Queen Street West. Kodak Gold 200 film with my Canon AE-1. #behaviour #harderworkingideas #newyearnewstart #advertisingagency #torontoadvertising #torontomarketing #westqueenwest #queenstreetwest #cityofto #cityoftoronto #streetsoftoronto #redjacket #canadianfilmphotographers #northernfilmcollective #torontostreetphotography #torontofilmshooters #streetizm #kodakgold200 #analoguephotography #analoguevibes #believeinfilm #canonae1 #drivebyfilm #35mmfilm #filmgrain #culturesnap #culturesnapphotography See more

Take What You Need I’ve seen a lot of love expressed in creative ways in 2020. My thanks to all who put their heart into inspiring and motivating others during this very tough year. I tried to sum up much of what I’ve seen in a new blog post (https://www.culturesnap.ca//colours-of-love-expressions-of) called Expressions of Love. Thanks for looking and for all who have put themselves out there with actions of care and love. You’ve made a difference to many this year. Best... wishes for a much better 2021!
