Riding the Train!

I love riding the subway in Toronto with my camera. The following are a couple of my pictures that I have taken while riding the trains.

I love this picture, it is hard to tell if the guy standing with the backpack is drunk or just trying not to fall over because of the movement of the train.

With the above shot, I love the contrast between the movement of those exiting the train, and those standing and sitting.

Lest We Forget

I took this shot a couple of years ago in Barrie, Ontario of it's cenotaph. It is by far one of my favourite shots. I know it breaks one of the golden rules of photography when it comes to taking pictures into the sun. But I feel in this case I feel that having the sun behind the statue makes the soldier almost look alive.

Fiddle Away!

The took these two pictures of a fiddle playing busker on the "main" street in Collingwood, Ontario. I took them from across the street so I wouldn't disturb his playing. He was an amazing fiddle player and his music was great. I listened to him play for a few minutes, watiching his movements before I raised my camera and started taking pictures. I went over and donated a couple of dollars for both his playing and for making a great model.

Waiting For A Train!

These are two of my favourite shots. I took them just over a year ago on a Toronto TTC subway platform. Unfortuately I don't recall exactly which platform it was on. I had noticed this woman, with her head covered with a hankerchief and her sunglasses on. She had a different look than just about everyone on the platform. I took the first shot of her, then realized that the train was coming into the station and waited and took the second shot. I got just the shot that I wanted, the train in motion with the woman standing still. These shots are exactly the type of shot I look for in my street photography.
