“What you seek is seeking you.”

I’ve been especially enjoying making double exposure images in the past year or longer. Here is a set, all made in one day in early January 2026.

Some days the street gives up something extra special. This day was one of those - encountering staff loading in fresh beer, and removing cases of empties, at one of Toronto’s great live music venues . Rob, the gentleman working hard from underground, was open to me photographing him as he worked and was later delighted when I shared these photos with him. “These photos are fantastic!!” is part of the kind words he gave in response. 😌

I found myself thinking of ’s wonderful images of old school Toronto, the ones featuring cases of beer in particular, as I captured these. Not saying these match his work, only that he inspires me as I capture images of this city.

Paul McCartney: Eyes of the Storm
A few weeks ago my friend Sammy (of ) and I went to see this wonderful new exhibit at the . I was feeling in the mood for double exposures, particularly the kind that I made here, as each of the Beatles were indeed larger than life.
This is such a great exhibit. Paul McCartney captured many unique moments as the Beatles just as Beatlemania ears being unleashed. There’s a good deal of local Toronto visuals here to explore as well.
Eyes of the Storm is on until June 7th. Well worth seeing!
