One thing I do like about the ROM post reno (see previous post re dislike) is the red 1″ thick, 2′ wide acrylic or glass sign out on the Bloor Street sidewalk. I get right up to it and shoot through it as if it were a giant filter on my lens. Never disappoints. Here some street life…
I’m not sure how many years it has been since the Michael Lee Chin “Crystals” renovation of the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) but I do remember initially not liking it though willing to give it time to settle and grow on me. Well time has passed and I can officially say I hate it. Every aspect of it. Inside and out.. although it can be ok to photograph some days…
Up close with Ilan Sandler’s ‘Vessel’ wire sculpture in Taddle Creek Park at Bedford and Lowther in the T-dot.
I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today’s existence.
