NOSTALGIA FOR THINGS PAST

The thing about Toronto is that I wish it had more well-kept old buildings. It is for this reason that I love cities like London and Paris. I love the classical style of old buildings. They remind us of a time when life wasn’t so fast-paced, when craftsmanship was valued, and maybe when life was a little simpler. But if you asked me if I would give up digital technology to live in these times, I would say never. We are living in interesting times. Technology has opened up a world of photography to me, where I never thought it was possible that I could produce high quality work. I learned photography on a manual camera and it was a challenge for me to manually focus the lens while looking through a tiny little view finder.

I really like how these pictures came out. The one with the reflection in the cafe window reveals aspects of modern life in contrast to the traditional style of the building. It captures the best of both worlds.
