PHOTOGRAPHY

09.12.31 | New York and Toronto

2009 was about as bad as years got in modern standards. (Let’s all take a moment to remember just how bad pre-modern standards could get.) What better way to say “Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out” to the decade progress forgot than with a retrospective of contextless leftover photos. Hey, better than a top 10. | More >>

09.10.01 | Cooksville - Rice Lake - Malton - West Humber - Caledonia

Although it’s still pretty warm outside, I might as well say it: I declare the summer of 2009 officially over. You may return to your cubicles with your heads down. No smiling until Christmas | More >>

09.09.06 | King City - Malton

Cricket is in brown people’s blood like fried foods and accounting. That doesn’t change when they move to Canada and bowl like there’s no tomorrow on King City’s lonesome pitch and at Malton’s Wildwood Park. | More >>

09.07.06 | Elmwood Village, Allentown and Downtown Buffalo

You may not think it possible, but sometimes I actually miss Buffalo. In college, I used to call it Hades (en route to Ithaca) but the crumbling little big city on Erie grew on me while I worked there in 2004. Decades after this town peaked, it still has its charms. | More >>

09.07.04 | Mississauga to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Yes, let’s drive to the Sunshine State, best known for kidnapped Cuban boys and electoral meltdowns, empty condominiums and old Jewish people. We took the 95 from Baltimore on down, and instead of staying overnight in beautiful, historic Savannah, Ga., we picked a Super 8 hotel off the highway in South Carolina where the management threatened to call the police on me for being brown with camera. Next time, next time... | More >>

09.05.30 | Trinidad & Tobago

Here is a selection of the 2400+ photos from my family trip to Trinidad. There is much more to come. | More >>

09.05.03 | Erindale, Ont.

Trout, walleye and salmon are only 5 minutes? drive away, under and around the Dundas Street bridge in the Credit River. They mysteriously don?t show up in the pictures. But hey, there was a garter snake. And litter! | More >>

09.04.28 | Ottawa

From a trip to Ottawa. No flash, no filters, no tripod. To do list: Get a flash, get filters, fix tripod.

I almost left my cigar cutter in the Centre Block of Parliament. | More >>

09.04.20 | Ottawa and Mississauga

As my siblings’ dogs, Benny and Piggy are cousins. But while Benny is a stately centenarian of regal Tibetan Plateau pedigree, Piggy is the scrappy pup straight outta the rough pens of the mill, shit-iz-real, etc. Or something like that. | More >>

09.02.07 | Harlem, N.Y.

Only four months after its reopening, I took these photos at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in Harlem. It’s arguably the fourth largest Christian church on the planet, but fifth place would have been fine with me. It quite thoroughly outclassed both my kit and my skills. As one Queens native put it to me, it’s one of those things you must, as a New Yorker, see before you die. Did I mention the peacock? | More >>

09.02.07 | West Village, New York

Iruined a perfectly good birthday cigar on this day in the trendy Meatpacking District, which is alternatively marketed as Gansevoort. (Don’t smoke and shoot, kids.) The yuppieish enclave is a curious mix of cozy, upscale housing in century-old industrial buildings. | More >>

09.02.03 | Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bay Ridge

Don’t worry. The preacher’s XK8 was unharmed in this blowout snowstorm on my block in Bed-Stuy. (I wonder if he winterized.) Ok, not the best day for a trek to Bay Ridge to snap the graceful Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. | More >>

08.10.18 | Bedford-Stuyvesant and elsewhere

Some snappys from Bed-Stuy and Flatbush and—yes—my apartment. | More >>

08.09.19 | Manhattan

Iwas just getting comfortable with the new camera when taking these pictures from Washington Square Park, The Bowery and Midtown. | More >>

07.09.25 | Brooklyn, N.Y.

At the 97-year-old Brooklyn Botanic Graden in the heart of my favourite borough. It’s nestled between Prospect Park, Crown Heights, Eastern Parkway, and Prospect Heights and is a stone’s throw from the roundabout at Grand Army Plaz. But you don’t notice all that busy city surrounding you when you’re behind the garden’s gates. | More >>

06.08.10 | Ithaca, N.Y. and Washington, D.C.

Some images from 2005-2006 at Cornell. | More >>

06.07.20

Agrab-bag of photos from 2003-2006. It’s a six-city tour! | More >>

05.07.31 | Eastern Ontario

Photos from along the Rideau Canal, including of Perth, Ont.—voted Ontario’s prettiest town on more than one occasion. | More >>

04.10.06 | Ithaca, N.Y. and New York City

Acollection of images from Cornell, 2003-2004. These were the first photos taken with my $125 Gateway digital camera. I bought that hunk of crap from Best Buy in Pyramid Mall so I could cover the enormous August 2004 antiwar protest in New York. | More >>
