Summer of '23

     Summer is drawing to a close. By the time this blog post is published, we'll be one week away from the Labour Day weekend. I know that Summer doesn't officially end until September 22nd, but Labour Day is generally considered the end of the season.

     I was initially going to say that my summer has been kind of nondescript. I mean, after my trip to Spain in the spring, I haven't really taken anything that could be considered a long summer vacation. But, in looking back over the events of the last few months, I realize that my summer has consisted of a series of small events and weekends where I've had the opportunity to enjoy my time and also make some  good photographs.

    I've been spending a fair bit of time in Hamilton, On. It's a city with which I have a strong affinity. I like the fact that it has a strong working class atmosphere coupled with a great arts community. It also has some awesome architecture and a parks and  trail system that is second to none. It's a place where I can photograph a gritty street scene, some great architecture and a beautiful sunset over the harbour  all on the same evening. It's  a street photographer's paradise.  

                                              

    

  

                

On a very nice afternoon, I was also lucky to visit my old stomping grounds of Cambridge On.

     On another day we took a day trip up to Owen Sound On. where we made the short hike in to Indian Falls.

                                                    And, of course I've done a few pictures of life here in Paris, On.

     So, all things considered it's been a pretty good summer and soon I'll be into autumn, my favourite time of the year. 

     As always, I'm going to keep on making the pictures and cranking out blog posts. Stay tuned. Interesting times ahead!
