Photography

A separate room for what the eye caught before it disappeared.

  • A city street at night swallowed by fog, with traffic lights glowing green and red through the haze and their reflections smeared across the wet asphalt.

    The fog eats the avenue two blocks out.

  • A rain-soaked street between tall buildings seen from inside a car, headlights and red tail lights streaked into long reflections on the wet road.

    Nothing is in focus and that is the point.

  • A midtown street at night with a pink and red neon sign glowing over the pavement, tall buildings closing in above and the wet road carrying the colour back.
  • A crenellated red-brick building lit with bright green light along every edge at night, bare winter trees standing in front of it and the green glow receding down the wet street.

    Snow on the ground, green on the walls.

  • A steep upward view of city skyscrapers at night, purple and magenta signage glowing on the facades and the tops of the towers disappearing into low cloud.
  • A narrow night street walled in by towers with tall green light panels down one side, a yellow taxi and dark cars stopped in the lane ahead on the wet road.
  • A night street lined with green vertical neon over a yellow taxi and traffic, raindrops beaded across the lens and the wet road doubling every light.

    Rain on the lens, green down the block.

  • A wet night street beneath a tall billboard reading Screening Time, a yellow Sienna taxi and dark cars stopped ahead, and a rain-covered side mirror in the foreground.
  • A brick tenement at night with black fire escapes and window air conditioners above a warmly lit restaurant awning, blue Citi Bikes docked along the wet sidewalk in front.
  • A red neon sign in flowing script mounted on a dark brick wall, with warm pendant bulbs hanging beside it in the shadows.
  • The interior of a warmly lit bar whose brick walls are papered edge to edge with old photographs above dark banquette seating.
  • A storefront at night with a red neon sign and a blue-lit awning, a red mat on the pavement and the interior glowing behind the glass.
  • A McDonald's storefront on a city street at night, its yellow arches lit over the entrance, a car and a pedestrian passing in front.
  • A corner storefront at night glowing pink and purple onto a snowy street, with parked cars along the kerb and slush on the ground.
  • A snowy city street running beside a fenced park, bare trees behind the fence and tall buildings rising beyond, seen on a flat winter afternoon.
  • A park edge at dusk with cars parked along the fence, snow banked over the pavement and the wet street holding the last of the blue light.
  • A snow-covered residential street at dusk, bare trees arching overhead and tire tracks cut through the slush past dark townhouses.
  • An open snow-covered park under a flat grey sky, a lone bare tree at the far side and lines of footprints crossing the untouched snow.

    Someone walked here before us.

  • A park path in snow at dusk, the lit windows of townhouses and the glow of street lamps reflected in the wet patches of the path.
  • A row of park benches seen from behind in a snowy park, bare trees and grey sky beyond and footprints trodden into the path.
  • A quiet snow-covered street lined with brick townhouses, bare trees above and tire tracks running away into the falling light.
  • A snow-covered park path with an empty black bench and a lamp post on the left, bare trees and historic low buildings behind.
  • A wide empty field of snow under a grey winter sky with bare trees along the far edge and trails of footprints leading across it.
  • A tall cast-iron corner building in the city on a clear blue day, its ornate facade in sun, with cars parked at the kerb and a pedestrian carrying a red bag across the crossing.
  • A skyscraper seen from the pavement, leaning up out of frame against a pale hazy sky, with a smaller light-coloured block in front of it.
  • The glass entrance of a large building on a bright day, pedestrians crossing the pavement in front, one of them in a red jacket.
  • A crowded city pavement in daylight, people walking in both directions between tall buildings and traffic stopped at the kerb.
  • A white fire hydrant on a city corner under a hard blue sky, with low brick buildings, parked cars and bare branches behind it.
  • A downtown skyline seen across open water on an overcast day, with a strip of dry grass in the foreground and the towers greyed by cloud.
  • The same downtown skyline from the far shore under heavy grey cloud, the water flat and the buildings almost the same tone as the sky.
  • The McDonald's arches on a tall sign against a sky burnt orange and pink at sunset, a silver car and an empty car park below.
  • A black, tan and white dog with speckled chest and folded ears sitting on a wooden spindle-back chair beside a table covered in a fruit-patterned oilcloth, looking straight at the camera.

    He knows exactly where the food is.

  • A black, white and tan puppy resting its chin on the arm of a brown sofa, one white paw tucked under its muzzle and its eyes cast down.
  • A puppy asleep on a soft grey cushion, curled around a bright green plush toy and holding it with one white paw.
  • A close crop of a black, tan and white dog's head tilted down, its nose and eyelashes filling the frame above pale wooden boards.
  • A large white dog with brown patches over its eyes and muzzle standing on grass behind glass, with the reflection of a person in dark clothing visible across the door.
  • A black, tan and white dog leaning in beside a hand holding a small plush monkey dressed in a red knitted scarf.
  • A tight crop of a black, tan and white dog's head turned to the side, photographed against a plain white background.
  • A dog's head down inside a metal bowl on a wooden floor, the bowl already empty, with its speckled white chest and one folded ear visible.
  • A dog leaning forward to sniff a rainbow-swirled lollipop held out to it on a stick, indoors on a dark floor.
  • A black cat sitting upright on a wooden floor indoors, yellow eyes on the camera, with snow visible through the window behind it.
  • A black cat crossing a wooden floor towards the camera, passing a brass and copper contraption in warm indoor light.
  • Pencil drawings pinned to a wooden board: animated popcorn, drink and candy boxes walking along, lettered with the words Let's take a break from watching movies at home and go see a movie!
  • A white brick wall inside a restaurant with a blue neon sign of a smiling panda face ringed by the words 100% Farm Fresh Ingredients, white orchids and small potted plants on a shelf below.
  • A fluffy pink and white panda plush with rosy cheeks and a sunflower bib, its tag still on, propped against a black bag strapped to a suitcase in an airport departure lounge.
  • A hand holding up a small doll with a brown fuzzy face and a pink floral silk dress, against a pebbled shore, calm water and a blue sky streaked with cloud.
  • A bag of popcorn and a drink on a narrow table in a dark cinema, the only light coming from the screen ahead.
  • A bronze sculpture of a hippopotamus with its mouth wide open seated at a cafe table opposite a hare in a dress, under the white ribs and red glow of a modern building.
