I'm enjoying photographing these interior scenes. I was drawn to the contrast of light and dark in this image and the shifting, somewhat fragmented view of the room in the mirror.

In the Members’ Lounge
Here's another photograph from the Art Gallery of Ontario this past Sunday, Jan. 5. I'm a member and was eating in the Members' Lounge. I had taken my camera along and because I enjoy looking at different angles, I looked up and took this.
Spiral Staircase at the Gallery
I was at the Art Gallery of Ontario yesterday. The new buildings were designed by the architect Frank Gehry. One very beautiful part of the new design is a spiral staircase. I took this photo while walking down from the fourth floor. I like the image because it's one of those that makes you wonder… Continue reading Spiral Staircase at the Gallery
Interiors–Screen and Shadows
Here's another photograph--one I took a few days ago. I loved the light through the screen, casting shadows of the plant and curtain. You can see a sliver of the plant through the space between the screen panels.
Interiors–The Light Photo
On the 17th, I looked up from writing and saw the light shining on the bulletin board in my room as I've never seen it. I got my camera and took a few photos. This one reminds me of a shrine or altar. So, for all of us on the longest night of the year… Continue reading Interiors–The Light Photo

This broken bowl, a common object, caught my attention with its beauty. I was drawn to the reflections on the side of the ceramic, as well as the bowl's shapes. I used a black and white setting to emphasize these.

I first photographed the dress in full, but kept seeing it cut in half in… Continue reading Light and Lace
After Tragic News
This afternoon I learned that a friend's son in law had been murdered in a random act of violence. I never knew her son in law, but had heard about his death on the news in the morning without knowing their relationship. After hearing this sorrowful news, I was writing. On the wall opposite me the… Continue reading After Tragic News
Photograph–Bay de Verde, Newfoundland, 2
Here's another photograph I took in Bay de Verde on my travels in Newfoundland in August. I liked the simplicity and starkness of this particular view which I photographed for the strong shapes and the atmosphere of the village.
