A few images from a night photo walk in the historic Exchange District, in Winnipeg, Canada.
Trying to tap into a Saul Leiter way of using a camera - seeing simply, not thinking.

I saw the sunbeam in the corner of the temple. Slowly it went toward the woman in front of the row - would it arrive in time before the people finishing chanting a sutra?

I could only wait. Nothing else to be done.

A roll of Ektachrome slide film discovered in this new-to-me Fujica 35SE camera!
I think any photographer has to be curious and I appreciate the serendipity & wonder at this fun surprise. Can’t wait to see what’s on this long-forgotten roll of film

PRESSMEN — Printing press operators at a former newspaper job I held, once upon a time.
One day notice came that the presses they so expertly ran would be shuttered. I spent a few months photographing them before it all ended.
Like many ppl I took all the interesting things around me for granted.

A tiny half-frame Fujica camera on a recent trip was a great travel 📷 but also an ideal notepad for each passing day. A fun surprise!

Another moment from that moment. I like these different pictures for differing reasons. You?

This feels right for Bluesky so let’s go with it:
Once in a while I make a photo that seems to leave more wondered about than told. Open ended.
For any writers or poets, please feel free to use this image as a starting point for your words. And share!

Fireworks at street festival for the celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe; Sayulita, Mexico.
Although just a tourist (and a pasty Canadian one, at that) I made an effort to look more at local people and their experience than the tourist attractions.
Also: Feliz Año Neuva!

Christmas Eve in Sayulita, Nayarit state, western Mexico.
Yes the beaches are fantastic. Tourist town, lots of parties. But 100% I found the people living there and the depth of history, culture & art behind them far more interesting & fun.

Side-street photography

Any authors or poets out there, this somehow seems like a good starting point, if you’re looking for a start.

I photographed a lot of Santa Claus parades in Canada over many years as a newspaper photographer but this is my first one in Mexico. Have to say it’s my favourite.

A seaturtle conservation group released new hatchlings to the ocean last night. Groups like Apoya Protegiendo a las Tortugas Marinas are vital to help this species survive in the face of human encroachment. You can donate to help this organization’s work: conservaciontortugasayulitaac@gmail.com

Simple street portraits:
For a few years, I took a medium-format film camera with me hoping to add to an informal personal project of people I thought were interesting (only criteria).

One of my very first and one of my favourites. Photos that prompt wondering, not tell answers.

This is Dale. He went to art college in England and travelled the world since.

Simple street portraits, continuing.
Joshua walked by in the park as I was photographing someone else. He was interested in our portrait session and got one of his own.
Great positive, guileless energy! Still love how a camera can be such a bridge to others

More street portraits I made over several years.
This is Marty. He had a popular cable-access TV show on mathematics for many years back in the day. Found him quietly strolling the neighbourhood, playing. After a silent nod to my photo request he silently walked on.
