a photographer and techie living in Toronto. I used to shoot rolls of film and use BBSes, now I'm here. I focus on infrared landscape and street photography, two great ways to get me off the couch.

🎃 I'll be Frankenstein 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.

That's Colin Geddes btw, who used to be the Midnight Madness programmer at tiff and then did the Kung Fu Fridays series which got me hooked way back when. Super nice of him to share his knowledge and amazing collection of paraphernalia.

Really looking forward to the tiff screening with Paul Meyers discussing this book and screening one of John's best films, planes trains and automobiles

I'd been avoiding listening until I watched the new movie. Really liked how kinetic it was, will give the album a listen tonight during a cross town streetcar ride to tiff

If it's just for holding a phone, what about one of the many clones available for a discount?

The crowd was there for it last night. Heard some good laughs and maybe even a swoon or two 👻

AIR is so nice, I had to see them twice at @masseyhall.bsky.social

Air (French band), on stage almost exactly a year after I last saw them, in the same Massey Hall venue but with a better seat

Rare concert win, no one sitting in the row in front so I get a better view.

Some of my octopus prints for World Octopus Day this October 8! 🧪🐡🐙

First up my lino block print of a charming Grimpoteuthis octopus, one of a genus of pelagic cirrate (finned) octopods known as the dumbo octopuses. The fins reminded scientists of ears of the elephant in Disney’s 1941 film Dumbo.

My 9.25” x 12.5” Lino block print of a Grimpoteuthis octopus, one of a genus of pelagic cirrate (finned) octopods known as the dumbo octopuses. The octopus is mostly bluish with red at the top and on its ear-like fins. Its tentacles are brown and all spiralling up close to its body. The dark water around it is blue-black.

I have one too to give up if someone wants it! The Tron IMAX double feature was announced after I bought tickets to ATB3.

you know about that app, Plan-It I think its called, that lets you determine moon phase/direction/setting/rising time to plan out which direction you'll be photographing? I used it a bunch for finding when the milky way could be visible when I was up camping

Fantastic moon last night. Couldn’t hope to do it justice, so I did my best with the spiderweb of streetcar wires instead.

- Queensway, near the Roncesvalles, Queen W, King W union.

A red TTC streetcar sits beneath shiny streetcar wires on an inky October night. A bright white, fuzzy moon overlooks the scene.

We're lucky to have the islands but it feels like not enough Torontoians make the trek. Maybe they'd go over more if they knew the islands' story

I got tickets for the Tron IMAX double feature tomorrow specifically for the Daft Punk and NiN soundtracks in 12-channel sound while my eyes are overloaded with 3D to the point i gloss over the plot silliness

One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

Cartoon drawing of a teenage mutant ninja turtle with a brown afro, like Bob Ross, and a yellow eye band. Labeled “Bob”, an honorary unofficial fifth TMNT. Bob looks like a shy friendly outcast ninja turtle, to be honest. Made for an 8yo boy who made a cute comment ☺️

Looks great and a lot more useful than yet another band tshirt!
