I took this photo in November, 2024 and it is a personal favorite of mine. All of my photos are captured using my Iphone 12 cell camera which means I run into difficulties at times with focusing and image quality. 

I wanted to capture the industrial architecture of the bridge with the oxidized copper colouring against the grey sky for an interesting clash of blue and grey tones. The pigeons in the photo to me represent the resilience of nature and how despite all of the heavy industrialization and pollution humans create, they learn to adapt to the new world.

I took this photo at a church in Vik, Iceland. It's the only church in the entire city and it really stood out amongst the mountains and blue sky. I hadn't seen its beautiful shade of red anywhere else in Iceland. Shot on a Canon EOS 70D.

This photo was taken at the Frank Lloyd Wright house in Buffalo NY. The house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Darwin D. Martin and built between 1903 and 1905. 

I took this photo on my old Canon DSLR while on a tour of the house, even though you were not allowed to take photos or videos. The way this statue was framed within the house really spoke to me, so I secretly snapped a couple photos of it. This was the best one and it looks pretty cool, if you ask me.

I took this close up photo of the Queen St Bridge over the Don River with a Canon DSLR.

We were on a class photo walk with this Flash Forward prompt in mind when I noticed the interesting shapes within the structure of the bridge itself. The beautiful blue sky was the perfect backdrop for the shot. I focussed on the inner part of the bridge and framed it with the outside part of the bridge. I like how the middle is in focus but the outer parts are out of focus. It really draws your attention.

This photograph was shot digitally. My thought process behind this shot was to find something out of place that resembles architecture. When I think of inside/outside architecture, I feel a need to intersect the two. The misplacement of an old dresser on the road brings many different thoughts and emotions. Seeing it as something out of place, but due to its condition, it is socially accepted as being thrown on the curb. For the architecture aspect, I decided to break the boundaries of our idea of architecture. The dresser resembles how something so old and beautiful can never be forever. It moves into different phases of its lifetime just as a building does.

Last year I started shooting on film using a Canon fTb with a non-functioning light meter. The camera, a 70’s model, needs a battery that is out of production and I struggled to guess the light level needed for each photo.

My teacher said shooting at f/5.6, 1/250 on 400 ISO film would be a usable setting; but depending on location and time of day, I can get blown-out, bright photos with vivid contrasts.

Inspired by this person walking through a doorway, surrounded by glass and white walls, I imagined how well the image would work with the overexposed style: the subject’s black attire against the blinding white walls, the subtle reflections of the glass, the shadows that swallow the interior.
