Fireworks and Smoke over Toronto

Fireworks and Smoke over Toronto, May 23, 2010.

_________

Another timelapse I did but this time of the entire downtown core while Ontario Place was doing their show tonight. I went up to Humber Bay Park in Etobicoke in order to shoot this. I got really lucky with the way the wind was blowing tonight.

Electric Palm Tree

Electric Palm Tree, March 2010.

I was shooting my architecture final when I spotted this awesome tree. You can see this tree in the daytime through Google street view.

H&M Self Portrait

H&M Self Portrait, May 2010.

_________

I took this right when I woke up to map out my face for an "avatar". Unfortuently it didn't work, but at least this image was creepy enough to put up online. It reminded me of an H&M ad so I decided to replicate the weird contrast and sharpening they used in their white background advertisements from circa 2007.

Exploding Water Series

Exploding Water Series, May 2010.

I shot this tonight in my bedroom. A few different water ideas were floating around but these images were my favourite. The old school shot glass is interesting as well.

Sparks from a Lighter

Sparks from a Lighter, May 2010.

_________

The sparks that are emitted each time a lighter is sparked. I never realized how far those little embers really travel. This is one of those Dollarama lighters too.

Self Portrait at Work

Self Portrait at Work, 2009.

__________

This is from a shoot I did a while back some time in 2009; and yes we did find a way to hide the stand from view. I have no clue what I was doing here as this was a test shot. Maybe I trying to figure out the way the lighting was hitting me?
