Hi I'm Simon and I take pictures with too much contrast.

I'm not expecting mutual follows. Unless you really like this high contrasty stuff and pictures of concrete staircases. All photographs I post, I have taken.
And another one.

Bay view from Neck Point Park in Nanaimo, BC, Canada.

The Portland St. Tree Banksy ; defaced by another street artist soon after it appeared. It looks like it may have been restored since but it may be totally gone now. https://hauntedwalk.com/news/torontos-hidden-banksy/

Corporate Greed (still) Sucks! #toronto, #protest, #blackandwhite, #urbanphotography -- I think this was a Toronto variant of the #occupy protests. A more hopeful time.

I have to take more shots with this camera, it's just too fun and I don't use it enough. Toronto in 2012 likely. This is probably King St. again but I could be wrong #blackandwhite #monochrome #grainy #lowfi

Another one out of the Harinezumi. On paper a terrible camera, but it truly has some sort of character to it I can't describe.

Somewhere in Toronto. Taken with the Harinezumi 2 so date and time are unknown, but probably 2012. #toronto #monochrome #grainy #blackandwhite #urban
