open space

 

Two mornings this past week, early by any standards and with only consideration as opposed to planning, I stepped out into a city enveloped in fog.

I was inspired and took with me my camera.

Away from the sleepy condos of downtown Toronto, I ventured to the lakeshore and, balancing what little light there was with what little direction or familiarity I had with the landscape, I began to make photographs of the beauty and truth unfolding in front of me.

I was pulled into the reality I felt, content with what I saw (even as it changed as daylight became more apparent).

The first morning I was fumbling with my equipment, learning by trial and error you might say. The second morning, two days later — augmented y the experience of the first morning — I felt a little more freedom to indulge my creativity.

Each day provided a different kind of satisfaction.

My reality, from day to day, changes. In looking back now at the images I captured, I do see the reality I was trying to uncover almost as much as what was there.

I know I will keep looking.
