Meet Jason Jason Parkdale, driver of this beautiful 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. I met Jason a couple of weeks ago because, like many, I had to slow down and gaze at this gorgeous automobile.
Jason let me know this car is part of the excellent Chemo Cabs program, which provides free rides for cancer patients to their appointments. Amazing! If you visit ChemoCabs.com you’ll see this car right there on the home page.
Check out Harley Quinn Car to learn more about the car, and the great work being done by Chemo Cabs!
Thank you Jason for taking the time to talk with me. Keep rolling on in style. 👏🏻

“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.
